The Formula 1 world has been shaken to its core after Lewis Hamilton issued a stunning ultimatum to Ferrari, threatening to walk away immediately if he experiences another act of what he calls “internal sabotage” — following the chaos that erupted at the United States Grand Prix.
Sources close to the team confirm that Hamilton is dead serious: one more incident like the Austin disaster, and the seven-time world champion will terminate his contract on the spot. The shock announcement has sent panic rippling through the Ferrari camp, igniting talk of betrayal, favoritism, and a possible civil war inside Maranello.
At the U.S. Grand Prix, Hamilton’s race was derailed by a mysterious software glitch and a bizarre strategy call that left him powerless against rivals. Insiders claim the malfunction conveniently struck at a critical stage of the race — and Hamilton’s fury was instant. “If this happens again, I’m out. I won’t be played like this,” he reportedly told senior Ferrari figures right after the race.
The tension behind closed doors is palpable. Allegations of favoritism toward Charles Leclerc have fueled whispers of internal sabotage — with reports suggesting that Leclerc received exclusive car upgrades, while Hamilton’s setup was quietly “restricted.” Ferrari insiders are calling it “a betrayal from within.”
The potential fallout? Catastrophic. If Hamilton walks, Ferrari could lose its biggest global star, face tens of millions in penalties, and see its already fragile reputation implode overnight. Analysts warn that such a split could tank Ferrari’s stock value and fracture team morale just months before the crucial 2026 regulation changes.
Meanwhile, the plot thickens: Mercedes is watching. Rumors have exploded that Toto Wolff has reconnected with Hamilton’s camp after a private dinner with his father, Anthony Hamilton. A dramatic return to Mercedes — once unthinkable — is now being whispered as a real possibility.
As the F1 circus heads to Mexico City, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Can Ferrari calm the storm before it destroys them from within? Or will Hamilton’s next race be his last in red?
One thing is certain: the next few days could redefine the future of Formula 1 — and the legend of Lewis Hamilton. 🏎️💥
