Former Ferrari race engineer Rob Smedley has discussed the pressure of driving or working for the Maranello outfit, claiming he has seen "very good engineers being broken by it".
Lewis Hamilton made the move to Ferrari in 2025 after a 12-year stint with Mercedes. While the anticipation was high for the Briton at Ferrari, he took time to adapt to the new team, resulting in zero grand prix podium finishes for the whole season. His best grand prix finish was fourth in the Emilia Romagna, Austrian, British and United States Grands Prix.
