Is F1 on the Verge of Another Shocking Twist?

• by Dr. AK Rana

As F1 head into the Japanese Grand Prix, the paddock is buzzing with excitement, speculation, and a fair share of PR talk. But if you read between the lines, there’s a lot more being said than meets the eye.

Lewis Hamilton seemed visibly exhausted and frustrated—not just with his team’s performance but also with Ferrari’s ability to brush off their recent disqualification.

…

“Can’t say much or even anything about the race ahead, but I’ll try to keep a positive mindset,” he said.

That doesn’t sound like the Lewis we know. His start with Ferrari has been anything but smooth. After all the preseason excitement, the opening races have been a nightmare. Back-to-back setbacks can shake anyone’s confidence, and it’s clear Hamilton is hesitant to hope.

..

The real issue?

Ferrari’s unpredictability.

 And that’s what’s making him uneasy.

Red Bull’s Driver Swap – F1 2025

Red Bull made headlines with a controversial driver swap—demoting one, promoting another. While the F1 world is filled with both hope and heartbreak over the changes,

Liam Lawson summed it up best:

“At least I’m still in F1. At least I still have a chance.”

You might not know this, but Lawson, who had been preparing for Suzuka, found out about his demotion over a phone call—not even in person.

..

A brutal reality check.

Meanwhile, Yuki Tsunoda is soaking in the love and excitement of his home race. When asked about his new car and whether he found anything difficult about it,

he took a subtle jab at his predecessor:

“I didn’t find anything tricky with the car, as the other driver was saying.”

Yes, that “other driver” was Liam Lawson.

 Ouch.

But all will be revealed in practice and qualifying—where words take a backseat to performance.

Tsunoda was heartbroken when he wasn’t the chosen one for the Red Bull seat, and it’s never easy to accept that someone else got the nod over you. Sometimes, even when you don’t lack anything, the opportunity still slips away.

But you move on,

and you fight back.

If something is truly meant for you, it will come.

One quote that stood out this week,

came from Oscar Piastri:

“The biggest emotion I felt in China was satisfaction.”

And that’s the biggest achievement in any field—satisfaction with your work. It means you gave it your all, and there are no regrets, no lingering thoughts of-

..

 “I could have done more.”

Many never reach that level because the biggest challenge is pushing yourself to the absolute limit.

Piastri is a deep thinker, a hard worker, and a future championship contender. Being in one of the fastest teams on the grid, he has the best shot at glory,

and we wish him luck in Suzuka.

Watching Lewis Hamilton struggle with Ferrari is disheartening.

A driver’s true potential is only revealed when their team delivers…

 Poor strategy, bad calls, or technical missteps should not happen in F1.

Every race matters.

 Every decision is crucial.

A single mistake—whether at the start or right before the checkered flag—can turn a victory into a disaster.

We hope Ferrari can reset and restart their season in Japan.

The sport is better when they’re competitive, and fans deserve to see their best.
