Hamilton Declares Season Worst Ever After Vegas GP

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has voiced his extreme disappointment, labeling his first season with Ferrari as the worst of his career. After a challenging Las Vegas Grand Prix, where he started from the back of the grid and finished eighth, Hamilton conveyed his distress. This difficult period contrasts sharply with his previous successes, as he has yet to reach the podium in 22 races for the Italian team this year.

Ferrari, the only top-four team without a victory in 2025, has seen a significant drop in performance, sliding from a close second last year to fourth in the standings. Hamilton's frustration is palpable, with his earlier season optimism replaced by gloomy assessments of the team's current standing and his own performance.

Team boss Fred Vasseur acknowledged Hamilton's emotions, understanding the intense pressure drivers face. He emphasized the importance of the team's response on Monday, focusing on improvements rather than post-race comments. Former champion Jenson Button empathized, noting the mental toll such a season takes on a driver of Hamilton's caliber.
