Lewis Hamilton calls his first season with Ferrari “a nightmare”
Lewis Hamilton didn’t hold back when describing his first season with Ferrari, calling it “a nightmare” after retiring from the Sao Paulo Grand Prix due to technical issues. The seven-time world champion admitted that his debut year with the legendary Italian team has been far from what he had envisioned.
“It’s been a nightmare. I’ve been living this for a while now. I dreamt of racing for this incredible team, but the results we’re getting feel like a bad dream,” said Hamilton, expressing his frustration with Ferrari’s lack of competitiveness and consistency.
Following his retirement in Brazil, Hamilton reflected on the team’s struggles: “This weekend has been a disaster for everyone. I’m just trying to keep my head above water and stay positive.” His comments underscore the challenges Ferrari faces in regaining form and delivering a car worthy of Hamilton’s pedigree.
For a driver who dominated Formula 1 with Mercedes, Hamilton’s rocky start at Ferrari marks a dramatic shift in fortune. With no podiums yet this season, both the team and the British star are under mounting pressure to turn things around before the season’s end.
