Lewis Hamilton expressed his frustration after a disappointing performance at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, labeling his time with Ferrari as a “nightmare.” Despite Ferrari’s historical success in Formula 1, their recent achievements have been lacking, with their last championship win dating back to 2008. Hamilton, now 40 years old, had hoped for better results, especially after Ferrari’s strong showing against McLaren in the 2024 season.
Although Hamilton secured his first win with Ferrari early in the season, subsequent races have been underwhelming. The British driver, known for his past successes with Mercedes, has struggled to make an impact, failing to reach the podium in any Grand Prix this year. His latest setback in Brazil saw him collide with Franco Colapinto’s Alpine, leading to a premature retirement from the race.
The race in Brazil was a disaster for Ferrari overall, with Charles Leclerc also failing to finish due to a collision. As a result, Ferrari has dropped to fourth place in the constructors’ standings, trailing behind Mercedes and Red Bull. Despite the challenging circumstances, Hamilton remains determined and optimistic about the future, emphasizing the team’s resilience and commitment to improving their performance.
Looking ahead to the 2026 season, Hamilton faces the prospect of early pre-season testing with new cars and engines. As he approaches his 41st birthday, time is ticking for him to secure an eighth F1 title. However, Hamilton remains hopeful, believing that the team will overcome their current hardships and achieve success in the future.
