Lewis Hamilton finished ninth in China, the third straight race he’s finished in that position.
Lewis Hamilton expressed disappointment in his performance at the Chinese Grand Prix, labeling it as the “worst” race of the season after opting for a different set-up that did not work in his favor. Despite finishing second in the sprint race, Hamilton made a critical mistake in Q1, starting 18th on the grid. The six-time China winner diverged from his teammate George Russell’s set-up, who finished sixth, ending up with a ninth-place finish – his fourth in the last five races, including the 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Hamilton acknowledged his struggles with understeer and low speed handling due to the set-up choice, which he initially mistook for car damage. Despite the disappointing results, Hamilton remains optimistic and determined to make better decisions moving forward in his final season with Mercedes in Formula 1.
