Ferrari F1 driver Lewis Hamilton was dealt a massive blow after the Italian car manufacturer shut down the possibility of a manual transmission returning.

The dust has settled on the 2025 British Grand Prix, and it was a mixed bag for Ferrari, with some moderate success and more head-scratching failure to add to their tumultuous 2025 season. Lewis Hamilton managed to secure fourth position, his best result for Ferrari this season, yet the Silverstone race showed how limited the SF-25 was.

A stunning Lewis Hamilton F1 record came to an end at the British Grand Prix, where the seven-time champion once again endured a difficult race with Ferrari. For the first time since 2013, Hamilton failed to stand on the podium at Silverstone and instead finished in fourth, nearly five seconds behind Nico Hulkenberg in the Sauber.
