Lewis Hamilton has endured an underwhelming start to his Ferrari
tenure, to the extent question marks over his F1 future have began
to arise. The 40-year-old has scored a sprint victory, in China,
and a further sprint podium, in Miami, but has otherwise been
consigned to points finishes for the Maranello-based squad.
Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc has taken three grand prix podiums, in
Saudi Arabia, Monaco and Spain, respectively. Whilst the
performance deficit to his team-mate is closing, and only 23 points
separate the pair in the championship standings, Hamilton has been
on the receiving end of forthright criticism for his form, from
inside and outside the F1 paddock. Despite holding a two-year
contract with the Italian team, it has been suggested by some that
the Scuderia should consider looking for alternatives for 2026 -
and that Hamilton should think about stepping away from F1
entirely. However, in a recent poll by RacingNews365 , a majority
of respondents voiced the opinion that the British driver should
not consider retirement, with only 44 percent - fittingly, due to
his racing number - arguing it is perhaps time for him to walk
away. This did however, include just shy of four percent of voters
who contended he may be best served taking a year out to revitalise
himself. The full results can be found below. Let us know what you
think by leaving a comment. Should Lewis Hamilton seriously start
to consider retiring from F1?
