Lewis Hamilton expressed that an end to his last F1 campaign with Mercedes “can’t come soon enough” as he rued a “terrible” Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
Hamilton had a difficult weekend in Brazil, starting from 16th on the grid and finishing in 10th place after a point-less Sprint race. He struggled with his Mercedes’ balance in wet conditions and described the car’s performance as “terrible” throughout the weekend. The upgrade package introduced by Mercedes in the US has not met Hamilton’s expectations, leading to continued problems. Hamilton called the W15 car the “worst car I’ve ever driven” and expressed frustration with its inconsistent behavior. He admitted that the season’s end “can’t come soon enough” and is focusing on scoring points for the team in the remaining races. Despite the car troubles, Hamilton found joy in driving Ayrton Senna’s 1990 McLaren car and appreciated the support of fans at Interlagos.
