Lewis Hamilton, the seven-times world champion, expressed his profound disappointment as Ferrari faced a major setback during qualifying at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. The anticipation was high for Hamilton’s first race in Italy with the iconic Formula 1 team, but both he and his teammate Charles Leclerc struggled to make an impact on the track.
Ferrari, known for its passionate supporters and rich history in F1, experienced a rare low as neither of their cars managed to secure a spot in the top 10 shootout at Imola. Leclerc finished 11th fastest, with Hamilton right behind in 12th place, marking a disappointing start to the weekend for the renowned team.
The qualifying results at the circuit closest to Ferrari’s Maranello factory left Hamilton “definitely devastated and gutted,” highlighting the immense pressure and expectations that come with representing such a prestigious team. As the race day approaches, all eyes will be on Ferrari and their drivers to see if they can turn their fortunes around and deliver a performance worthy of their legacy in Formula 1.
