Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur has launched a defence of Lewis Hamilton’s post-Spanish Grand Prix gloom.
Fred Vasseur is convinced that Lewis Hamilton’s performance at the Spanish Grand Prix was not a catastrophe, despite Hamilton’s somber evaluation of his race.
Hamilton, aiming for a podium finish from a fifth-place starting position, finished seventh after losing ground to Nico Hulkenberg late in the race post-safety car period.
Although Hamilton moved up to sixth due to Max Verstappen’s penalty, he described the race as having “zero positives” and was unable to explain why his car performed poorly.
Vasseur defended Hamilton against premature judgment, highlighting that Hamilton spent the majority of the race ahead of George Russell, indicating a positive aspect amidst the challenges.
Vasseur declined to share specifics about the car issue that impacted Hamilton’s performance, signaling the need for further evaluation without causing unnecessary panic through rushed conclusions.
