Lewis Hamilton faced a tough weekend at the Grand Prix of Saudi Arabia, starting from the seventh position and finishing the race in the same spot. The seven-time world champion could not find his pace throughout the race, with Lando Norris overtaking him at the start and later having to battle hard to keep Charles Leclerc at bay.
In a post-race interview, Hamilton admitted his struggles, stating, “If there was a moment when I was comfortable with the car? No, not even a second. I can’t blame the car, which is clearly capable of finishing third. Leclerc did a great job today.” Despite his disappointment, Hamilton acknowledged Leclerc’s strong performance and refused to make excuses for his own difficulties on the track.
The duel between Hamilton and Norris was a highlight of the race, with Norris’ determined defense ultimately securing Leclerc’s podium position. Hamilton’s inability to challenge Leclerc for third place highlighted the challenges he faced with his car throughout the Grand Prix.
Despite the setback, Hamilton’s determination and competitive spirit remain unwavering as he looks ahead to future races. The battle at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix has only fueled his motivation to come back stronger in the upcoming events on the Formula 1 calendar.
