[Saba Sports News] After the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton revealed that he was brewing a technical revolution, hinting to the media, “There are some crazy ideas, and I will try them out in Monte Carlo even if the engineers object.” This statement directly ignited internal disputes within the Ferrari team regarding technical direction – conservative factions insisted on the current research and development path, while Hamilton’s camp demanded “radical changes.” Race data showed that Hamilton’s long-distance pace during the main race was 0.8 seconds per lap faster than in qualifying, revealing a mysterious gap exposing the fundamental contradiction of the SF-25 car. “The car setup is perfect, but we cannot squeeze the ultimate speed in qualifying,” Hamilton’s confusion directly pointed to the fatal flaw of Ferrari’s aerodynamic design. More intriguingly, he claimed to have discovered certain special tuning methods that could unlock the potential of the car, but faces internal pressure from the team. It was reported that the Maranello factory held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss whether to approve Hamilton’s aggressive settings in Monte Carlo.
