Dejected Lewis Hamilton issues Ferrari concern after ‘meaningless’ recovery
Lewis Hamilton expressed disappointment and concern following his “meaningless” recovery from 19th to 10th at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, highlighting a real worry for Ferrari’s performance.
Hamilton qualified last in Las Vegas but moved up a spot due to Yuki Tsunoda starting from the pit lane for a new power unit, marking Hamilton’s worst F1 qualifying on pace.
Despite making up positions during the race and scoring a point, Hamilton found no satisfaction in his recovery drive, calling it a “bad weekend.”
With Ferrari slipping further behind in the constructors’ standings, Hamilton believes his underperformance is hurting the team’s chances of securing second place.
Hamilton remains pessimistic about his upcoming races in Qatar and Abu Dhabi, acknowledging a tough campaign with little hope for improvement.
