F1 FURY: Lewis Hamilton SLAMS FIA Stewards as a “Joke” in Brazilian Grand Prix Meltdown!
In a shocking twist at the 2025 Brazilian Grand Prix, Formula 1 icon Lewis Hamilton unleashed a storm of criticism aimed at the FIA race stewards, branding them “a joke” after receiving a controversial five-second penalty. This came during Hamilton’s tumultuous debut weekend with Ferrari, a race weekend that spiraled into chaos right from the start.
The drama unfolded on the very first lap when Hamilton, attempting to recover from a minor clash with Carlos Sainz, found himself in a precarious position as he collided with Franco Colapinto’s Alpine. The impact resulted in his front wing being torn off and wedged under his SF-25, causing catastrophic damage to the car’s floor. The stewards, however, were quick to act, ruling that Hamilton was at fault for the collision and handing him a penalty that sent shockwaves through the racing community.
In a heated moment over team radio, Hamilton voiced his frustration, exclaiming, “These guys are a joke! A complete joke! The car moved over on me so I clipped my wing.” His ire was palpable as he faced a race that was quickly unraveling.
Hamilton’s nightmare intensified as he was forced to retire after just 40 laps of the 71-lap race, marking a double DNF for Ferrari, with teammate Charles Leclerc also sidelined earlier due to a separate incident involving Kimi Antonelli and Oscar Piastri. The fallout from the race was devastating for Scuderia Ferrari, as their failure to score any points has widened the gap to Mercedes in the constructors’ standings, now standing at a staggering 32 points. Meanwhile, Red Bull has surged ahead, further complicating Ferrari’s championship ambitions.
Reflecting on the disaster, Hamilton did not mince words about his struggles at Ferrari, describing the season as a “nightmare.” He lamented, “This is the nightmare I’ve been living in for a while. The flip between the dream of driving for this amazing team and then the nightmare of the results that we’ve had, the ups and downs, it’s challenging.”
Nevertheless, the seven-time champion remains determined. “Tomorrow I’ll get back up, I’ll keep training, I’ll keep working with the team. I really wanted to get them good points this weekend, but I’ll come back as strong as I can in the next race and try to recover.”
As the fallout from this dramatic weekend continues, all eyes will be on Hamilton and Ferrari as they attempt to regroup and find their footing in the relentless world of Formula 1. Will Hamilton turn this setback into a comeback, or will the stewards’ decisions continue to haunt him? Fans are left on the edge of their seats, waiting for the next thrilling chapter in this high-stakes motorsport saga.
