Lewis Hamilton expressed his disappointment after facing another challenging race in Sao Paulo, labeling his experience with Ferrari as a ongoing nightmare. Despite Ferrari’s historical success in Formula 1, their recent achievements have been lacking, with the team’s last championship win dating back to 2008. Hamilton, now 40, had high hopes when he joined Ferrari, expecting better results after the team’s strong performance against McLaren in the previous season.
Although Hamilton clinched his first victory for Ferrari early in the season, subsequent races have been disappointing. The British driver failed to reach the podium in any Grand Prix this year, a stark contrast to his previous successes with Mercedes. His recent performance in Brazil was marred by a collision that led to his retirement from the race, adding to Ferrari’s overall struggles.
The Ferrari team had a challenging race in Brazil, with Charles Leclerc also failing to finish after a collision with Oscar Piastri. This poor showing has caused Ferrari to slip to fourth place in the constructors’ standings, trailing behind Mercedes and Red Bull. Hamilton, acknowledging the difficulties faced by the team, remains hopeful for better outcomes in the future.
As Hamilton looks forward to the upcoming season, he anticipates new cars and engines, signaling an early start to pre-season testing in January. Despite the setbacks, Hamilton remains determined and optimistic, believing that there is still success to be achieved with Ferrari. Time is ticking for the veteran driver, who will turn 41 before the next season kicks off, but his resolve to push forward remains unwavering.
