Lewis Hamilton has “carried himself really well” across his miserable 2025 F1 season, says Jenson Button.
“Jenson Button expressed his support for Lewis Hamilton following a challenging weekend at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, where the Ferrari driver struggled.
Hamilton qualified last in Nevada due to confusion over crossing the start/finish line on time in Q1, marking the first time in his 19-year F1 career being last in qualifying based on pure speed.
Despite initially making progress in the 50-lap race, Hamilton’s performance dwindled after changing to medium Pirelli tires during pit stops, leaving him trailing Hulkenberg.
Although finishing 10th, later upgraded to eighth post-race due to McLaren exclusions, Hamilton appeared dejected, labeling it his ‘worst season ever’ in F1 during media interviews.
Button acknowledged Hamilton’s poor qualifying influenced the lackluster result but praised Hamilton’s resilience throughout a challenging season, emphasizing his ability to bounce back from setbacks”.
