Former F1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve says Ferrari “knows that they are in trouble” after the frustrating start of the 2025 season.
HAMILTON – In his first year with Scuderia after joining Mercedes, where he won seven world titles – he was qualified for the eighth for Japanese Grand Prix and teammate Charles Leclerca fourth, two weeks after both of them were disqualified from Chinese Grand Prix.
The victory of Sprint in China was the highlight of Hamilton’s Ferrari so far, as he and Leclerc finished 10th and eighth in the Australian Grand Prix, which opened the season and sat on the unique points before the race in Suzuki.

Villeneuve, World Champion in 1997 with Williams, said Sky Sports F1: “They know they are in trouble and do not know how to improve. They can see how the opposition will improve, so Ferrari doesn’t look good.”
Hamilton: Not good enough on my part
Hamilton was disappointed with his performance in qualifying, saying “not good enough on my part”, because he ended up over six tenths behind Max Verstappen’s surprise.

Hamilton’s excessive skate wear has led to his disqualification in China two weeks ago And that was perhaps the reason Ferrari led a senior car in Japan.

After qualifying, British said, “Let’s run more than I would like, but everyone is in the same ship.
“Charles (Leclerc) did an incredible job. We went in different directions. I had a lot of lower legs and I just couldn’t choose it.”
Leclerc: Great gap compared to McLaren and Red Bull
Asked if Ferrari’s height of driving affects performance, Leclerc said: “We have some more problems, not especially with the height of the ride. I cannot go into detail too much.
“In qualifying, he started to leave us a little from us, especially in Q3. I had a lot of excess or lower legs, but the circle I did, I was really pleased with him.

Ted Kravitz Sky F1 reflects on all major conversations from qualifying at the Japanese Grand Prix
“Returning (to exercise on Friday) we really found something from my style of driving that seems to be a little better and they gave me a lot more confidence for the rest of the qualifications.
“This is positive for the rest of the season (but) other questions could take a little longer. There is still a big gap compared to McLaren and Red Bull and this is our target.
“On the whole, it was positive because I feel much more comfortable with the car.”
