F1 Icon Hamilton's Dreadful Season Plummets
23 Nov
Summary
- Lewis Hamilton finished eighth in the Las Vegas Grand Prix after disqualifications.
- He has not won a race this season, his first with Ferrari.
- Ferrari executive chairman urged drivers to focus on racing and talk less.
Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton described his current season as his worst ever following an eighth-place finish at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Hamilton started 19th and climbed to fifth during the race, but ultimately secured a disappointing result. His struggles this season with Ferrari, where he has not won a single race or achieved a podium, have led to speculation about his future. This performance follows a disappointing qualifying session where he started last, exacerbated by difficult conditions.
Ferrari's executive chairman, John Elkann, has expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance, notably after both Hamilton and teammate Charles Leclerc failed to finish the Brazilian Grand Prix. Elkann stated that drivers should focus on racing and talk less, reflecting the pressure on the team. Ferrari has dropped to fourth in the constructors' standings with only two races remaining in the season.
