Lewis Hamilton expressed his disappointment with his Ferrari race car during the F1 Spanish Grand Prix, labeling it as “the worst it’s ever been” in new radio messages that have emerged.
The seven-time world champion finished sixth at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya after a challenging race on Sunday.
Despite a promising start and qualifying performance, Hamilton struggled with pace and had to yield to teammate Charles Leclerc early on.
His pace declined significantly following a late Safety Car, with Hamilton ultimately finishing seventh on the road, later promoted to P6 due to Max Verstappen’s penalty.
Ferrari’s team principal acknowledged Hamilton’s car issue but was secretive about details, as Hamilton lamented the race as the worst he’s ever had, leaving him in sixth place in the championship standings.
