Lewis Hamilton<\/a> and Charles Leclerc<\/a> have done all they can to help Ferrari as the Scuderia sit second in the constructors\u2019 championship<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, neither driver has been capable of winning a Grand Prix this season, with Hamilton having to settle for a Sprint Race victory in China as his best moment of the campaign thus far.<\/p>\n Hamilton has been very downbeat at times this year, and at one point told Ferrari they should consider changing drivers following his Q2 exit in Hungary when Leclerc took pole position.<\/p>\n Position Drivers’ Championship PointsPts 1 284 2 275 3 187 4 172 5 151 6 109 7 64 8 54 9 37 10 27 <\/p>\n Team principal Fred Vasseur has been quick to defend Hamilton<\/a>, especially considering the seven-time world champion has stood up and suggested Ferrari should back their team principal when his position was under threat.<\/p>\n However, Hamilton will know that he needs to start delivering some more eye-catching results soon, especially if he wants to break Michael Schumacher\u2019s<\/a> record and win an eighth title.<\/p>\n Journalist Ronald Vording and commentator James Allen were discussing Hamilton\u2019s F1 future and whether they believe his time at Ferrari is the final step during his time in the paddock.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to F1 Oversteer, Alex Jacques thinks Hamilton might be jealously looking over at Mercedes<\/a> ahead of the 2026 season, but a move elsewhere on the grid has been ruled out.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton\u2019s life outside F1 from net worth to family<\/a><\/p>\n Speaking on the James Allen on F1 Podcast, Vording explained: \u201cI think it\u2019s just extremely complex. I still believe his motivation is very, very, very much there.<\/p>\n \u201cBut if he doesn\u2019t win and if Ferrari doesn\u2019t win in 2026, then it does become a real question.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I like your theory about going back to McLaren, but I think also the question that needs to be asked then is what does Lewis really want in F1 then, because he has basically nothing to prove, he\u2019s proven everything in his career.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think that\u2019s a conversation we will have probably this time next year. I hope it\u2019s not true for Lewis, but it might be a conversation we\u2019re having next year.<\/p>\n Allen replied: \u201cYeah, I don\u2019t think Lewis will move teams again. I think it\u2019s Ferrari or he\u2019s on his way out. I can\u2019t see that happening.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: All you need to know about Scuderia Ferrari from team principal to factory<\/a><\/p>\n Juan Pablo Montoya says Lewis Hamilton has uncovered Ferrari\u2019s 2025 F1 car issue<\/p>\n Although Hamilton currently sits 42 points behind Leclerc in the drivers\u2019 championship, the pair have been performing at a very similar level.<\/p>\n The seven-time world champion has been at Leclerc\u2019s level when the car hasn\u2019t been ultra competitive, but when there\u2019s been an opportunity to secure a podium, it\u2019s been the Monegasque driver who has taken advantage.<\/p>\n Hamilton couldn\u2019t understand why Leclerc was so much faster than him in Monaco<\/a>, but just a few races later, it was the British driver who was on top.<\/p>\n CategoryLewis HamiltonCharles Leclerc2025 points109151Grand Prix results*211Grand Prix qualifying410Grand Prix wins00Grand Prix poles01Grand Prix podiums05Best finish4th3rdDisqualifications11Retirements00Retirements (classified finish)00Fastest laps00Grand Prix points finishes1212Sprint results21Sprint Qualifying12Sprint wins10Sprint poles10Sprint podiums20The 2025 F1 teammate head-to-head battle of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc![\"Ferrari](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2227789712-1-1024x683.jpg\")
