The Italian media have delivered a divided verdict on Lewis Hamilton’s performance at Silverstone this weekend after the F1 champion failed to step on the podium for the first time since 2013.
While Ferrari offered a glimpse of competitiveness on Friday and Saturday, Hamilton was ultimately unable to challenge for a podium during the closing stages of the British Grand Prix.

Despite Ferrari’s pace deficit to Sauber over the course of the 2025 season, Hamilton once again failed to catch Nico Hulkenberg, losing the final podium position to the German, who claimed his first top-three finish on Sunday.
The shock result has now raised doubts for some over Hamilton’s racing abilities, even prompting criticism from British media.
