Sky Sports Formula 1 presenter Simon Lazenby left his co-hosts speechless whilst discussing Ferrari'sdisappointing season. The broadcaster made a striking observation about Lewis Hamilton's future.

Ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, the Scuderia languish fourth in the Constructors' Championship. Dominant winners McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull have all enjoyed superior campaigns to the Italian outfit so far.

Regarding drivers, Hamilton's switch from Mercedes this season to team up with Charles Leclerc generated enormous expectations, yet they haven't secured a single victory all year. Hamilton is still waiting for his first podium finish, whilst Leclerc has only managed a handful.

Despite signing a contract extension in July, doubts are emerging about team principal Fred Vasseur and the entire operation. Lazenby surprised his The F1 Show colleagues when he hinted Hamilton might reassess his situation if these disappointing performances continue into 2026.

"This is Ferrari. If [poor results] carry on in 2026 then heads are going to roll. They just will," claimed Lazenby, speaking alongside Ted Kravitz and Bernie Collins.

"Stretch all the way back to 2007 with Kimi [Raikkonen] for example. They want a drivers' title. Nothing less than that will sate everybody involved in red.

"They need to start winning championships again. Fred got an extension to his contract. They make the marquee signing, Elkann brings in Hamilton then they have a season like this when they finish fourth. Fourth is not second.

"Something has got to change. It's got to change early in 2026 or can you see Lewis staying? What will happen? It's usually, as far as Ferrari are concerned, in recent evidence it's usually the team principal that gets it."

When Lazenby sought a reaction from either Kravitz or Collins, he was met with silence. The pair were stunned into quietness and Lazenby carried on.

He stated: "I suppose my point is that if they don't have a good start to 2026 then changes will be made. The very top level, top brass, are irked by this level of performance or lack of."

Hamilton's Brazilian Grand Prix was one to forget. After only qualifying in 13th, he crashed into the back of Franco Colapinto's Alpine during the opening lap and was forced to retire from the race due to irreparable front wing damage.

The Brit labelled this outcome and his current situation as a nightmare. Hamilton said: "This is a nightmare, and I've been living it for a while.

"The flip between the dream of driving for this amazing team, and then the nightmare of results that we've had, the ups and downs, it is challenging.

"This weekend has been disastrous and disappointing for everyone involved. I am trying to keep my head above water and remain positive."
