Lewis Hamilton is keeping his spirits high despite a challenging qualifying session for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, which will see the seven-time world champion start from 10th on the grid. The Briton, who is preparing to leave Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of the season, remains focused on delivering a strong performance in what he hopes will be a memorable final stint with the Silver Arrows.


“It Is What It Is”: Hamilton Reflects on Qualifying

Hamilton fell short in his final qualifying lap, unable to match the pace of his rivals, including teammate George Russell, who secured pole position. However, the 39-year-old brushed off the setback, emphasizing the positives from the weekend.

“It is what it is. It’s been a good weekend so far,” Hamilton remarked post-qualifying. “So I’ll give it my best shot tomorrow and congrats to George.”

Hamilton also praised the Las Vegas circuit’s cool conditions, expressing optimism for Sunday’s race.

“Conditions are great. Nice and cool. It’s been nice all weekend.”


Tough Task Ahead in the Grand Prix

Starting from 10th, Hamilton acknowledged the uphill battle he faces. With overtaking opportunities at a premium on the challenging Las Vegas street circuit, Hamilton plans to capitalize on Mercedes’ competitive pace and focus on tire management, a key factor in Sunday’s 50-lap race.

“I’m really quite far back, so I’ll just see what I can do from there. Degradation is gonna be key,” Hamilton noted. “It was an eventful race here last year, so [I’ll] see what comes our way.”


Aiming for Redemption

Hamilton’s Mercedes boss, Toto Wolff, believes the team has one of the quickest cars this weekend, adding that Hamilton has the potential to fight through the field and challenge for a podium finish. For Hamilton, this weekend presents not just a chance to bounce back from qualifying but also an opportunity to solidify his legacy with a strong performance in one of his final outings with Mercedes.

With Hamilton’s determination and Mercedes’ form, fans can expect an aggressive charge from the back as the Briton looks to salvage a top result in what promises to be an exhilarating Las Vegas Grand Prix.
