Lewis Hamilton: Driving for Ferrari is a ‘nightmare’
Seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton described his first season at Ferrari as a ‘nightmare’ following a disappointing performance at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Despite teammate Charles Leclerc’s strong showing, Hamilton could only qualify in 13th and was involved in an incident on the first lap that damaged his car’s floor.
Receiving a time penalty further dashed his hopes of scoring points, leading to a decision to retire the damaged car, marking a double retirement for Ferrari.
Hamilton expressed his frustration with the season’s results, vowing to bounce back stronger in the next race and continue working with the team.
The British driver has yet to achieve a podium finish with Ferrari after 21 races and faces pressure to maintain his position in the drivers’ championship.
Looking ahead to the 2026 season and new regulations, Hamilton aims for improved performances to secure his future with the Maranello-based outfit.
