Lewis Hamilton’s ‘Indefensible’ Brazilian GP Blunder Sparks Outrage and Team Crisis

Lewis Hamilton’s Brazilian Grand Prix Catastrophe: A Blunder That Can’t Be Ignored!

In a race that was supposed to showcase the prowess of one of Formula 1’s greatest drivers, Lewis Hamilton found himself at the center of controversy during the Brazilian Grand Prix, with critics labeling his performance as “indefensible.” The seven-time world champion’s day went from bad to worse as he was involved in two significant incidents that not only marred his race but also contributed to a disastrous outing for Ferrari.

The drama unfolded on the first lap when Hamilton made contact with Carlos Sainz at Turn 1, a misstep that set the tone for the rest of the race. But things escalated quickly as Hamilton later collided with Franco Colapinto in a botched overtaking maneuver, resulting in severe damage to his Ferrari’s front wing. This unfortunate encounter led to a five-second time penalty, which Hamilton served before ultimately retiring from the race—a decision that highlighted the dire state of his performance and strategies.

The outcome was devastating, not only for Hamilton but also for Ferrari, as Charles Leclerc suffered a similar fate, facing elimination due to a Turn 1 incident. With both drivers out of the race, Ferrari plummeted to fourth in the constructors’ standings. Meanwhile, Red Bull and Mercedes reveled in their podium finishes, with Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli taking the spotlight.

The Italian media, particularly Corriere della Sera, did not hold back in their critique of Hamilton’s performance. The publication issued a scathing review, scoring him a meager five out of ten and branding his mistakes as “indefensible.” They remarked, “He’s once again at the stewards, who are beating him—a 5-second penalty he served before retiring, so as not to carry it over to the next GP—because of the crash into Colapinto (which he will emerge from with a ruined front wing), rather than Sainz, who hits him at the start, ruining a race that had already been compromised by his poor qualifying.”

The article further emphasized Hamilton’s struggles, stating, “Lewis may be partially right, but the mistake on the Argentine makes him indefensible: his first season in red is about to end in a… ‘red hole’ and with a fair amount of doubt.” Such harsh judgments reflect the mounting pressure on Hamilton as he grapples with his position in a struggling Ferrari team.

Adding fuel to the fire, Ferrari chief John Elkann made headlines by publicly criticizing the drivers for their lackluster performance in 2025. “We have drivers who need to focus more and talk less because we still have important races to come, and finishing second in the constructors isn’t impossible,” Elkann asserted, placing the onus squarely on Hamilton and his teammate.

In response to the backlash, Hamilton took to social media, delivering a resounding message of resilience: “I back my team. I back myself. I will not give up. Not now, not then, not ever. Thank you, Brazil, always.” With those words, he vowed to fight back against adversity, but the question remains—can Hamilton rise to the challenge, or will this season end in disappointment?

As the dust settles on the Brazilian Grand Prix, the eyes of the F1 world are watching closely. Hamilton’s future hangs in the balance, and the pressure is mounting as he prepares for the next race. Will he redeem himself, or will the legacy of this fateful day linger long into the season? Only time will tell.
