Lewis Hamilton is not afraid to express his opinions on current events in the world of Formula 1. The paddock has been filled with controversies, causing shock and ongoing discussions. One of these controversies involved an investigation into misconduct during the 2023 season. Hamilton shared his thoughts on these issues, expressing disappointment and stating that this does not reflect well on the sport.
One particular incident involved suspicions of interference and manipulation of results during the 2023 Saudi Arabian GP. The FIA president was also allegedly involved in withholding certification for the Las Vegas GP. Hamilton found the whole situation disappointing and believed that it did not portray Formula 1 positively.
Hamilton emphasized the importance of this moment for the sport to showcase its values. He acknowledged that the handling of these controversies so far has been less than satisfactory. This crucial moment will determine how Formula 1 presents itself to the world.
The news of Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in 2025 was met with various opinions. However, the majority supported the seven-time world champion. Speculations arose about Mercedes’ declining performance as a factor in his decision. Despite this, Hamilton chose not to delve into the exact reasons for his move.
However, the driver faced issues with his car during the first two race weekends. His seat broke during the Bahrain GP, resulting in a seventh-place finish. Additionally, his rear wing came loose during the FP2 session of the Saudi Arabian GP.
These problems can significantly impact Hamilton’s chances in the drivers’ championship. It is crucial for Mercedes to up their game and provide better opportunities for the driver. The goal is to compete for the world championship in Hamilton’s final year with Mercedes in Formula 1.
