Ferrari advised to listen to Hamilton to turn things around

Ferrari is coming off a difficult weekend at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, where neither Hamilton nor Charles Leclerc finished the race on Sunday.

According to former F1 driver Montoya, the seven-time world champion will not give up.

He told a betting site: “I think Lewis Hamilton has a point to prove, he won’t lie down and submit to defeat. He will win the championship or die trying, as they say.

Recently, Ferrari executive John Elkann said at an event that the team 'has drivers who need to focus on driving and talk less.' According to the Colombian, the Briton is approach is not the issue.

He continued: “He feels he’s putting in a lot of effort to try make things work, but the team aren’t matching that energy.

The former McLaren and Williams driver has a solution for how Ferrari can improve: pay attention to what the seven-time world champion says.

He concluded: "The car isn’t getting better for Charles Leclerc either. The faster Ferrari’s team and engineers listen to Hamilton on how to make the car better, the better it will be for the team in the long term."

Entering the final three rounds of the season, despite winning Ferrari's first-ever Sprint in China, Hamilton is still looking for his first Grand Prix podium. Up next is the Las Vegas GP, where he last finished inside the top three last season.
