Lewis Hamilton made efforts to lift team spirits at Ferrari before the Las Vegas Grand Prix following a challenging weekend for the seven-time F1 champion. Despite a tough qualifying session that left him starting 19th on the grid, Hamilton showed early promise in the race but later encountered difficulties with Esteban Ocon’s Haas and a collision with Alex Albon. Ultimately finishing 10th, later improved to eighth due to a disqualification, it was still a disappointing outcome for the British driver. Hamilton’s message of unity and perseverance to his team before the race highlighted his dedication amidst struggles within the team, aiming to overcome setbacks and maintain motivation. The Las Vegas GP marked a pivotal moment for Ferrari’s season, with Charles Leclerc finishing a distant sixth (later fourth) and the team losing ground to Mercedes in the constructors’ championship. Despite efforts to present a united front, the results have sparked further questions and assessments within the Ferrari camp.
