Lewis Hamilton expressed frustration after another 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 last championship victory was in 2008. Hamilton, who joined Ferrari this season at the age of 40, had hoped for better results, especially after a strong showing by the team against McLaren in the previous championship.
Hamilton secured his first win for Ferrari early in the season but has struggled to maintain momentum since then. His lackluster performances have raised questions, particularly as he has failed to reach the podium in any Grand Prix this year. The recent race in Brazil was another setback for Hamilton, as he collided with Franco Colapinto’s Alpine on the opening lap, leading to his retirement due to car damage.
The disappointing race in Brazil mirrored Ferrari’s overall struggles, with Charles Leclerc also failing to finish after a collision. As a result, Ferrari has slipped to fourth place in the constructors’ standings behind Mercedes and Red Bull. Hamilton acknowledged the challenging situation, expressing disappointment over the team’s performance and his own struggles on the track.
Looking ahead, Hamilton anticipates a challenging season ahead with the introduction of new cars and engines in 2026. Despite the difficulties faced this year, he remains optimistic about the future, believing that the team will overcome its current hardships. With time running out in his career, Hamilton is determined to continue pushing forward and remains hopeful for better outcomes in the upcoming races.
