Title: Lewis Hamilton’s Las Vegas Nightmare Sparks Urgent Call for Ferrari Investigation!
In a stunning twist at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton’s performance on medium tyres has ignited a firestorm of criticism and calls for urgent scrutiny from Ferrari. Renowned pundit Bernie Collins has emphatically stated that “something has gone wrong” during Hamilton’s crucial stint, leaving fans and analysts alike questioning the reliability of the former champion’s car.
Hamilton, who shockingly qualified last for the first time in his illustrious career, clawed his way from the 19th position to finish the race in a disappointing tenth place. However, after post-race disqualifications of two McLaren drivers, he was elevated to eighth—yet his mood was far from celebratory. The seven-time champion voiced his dismay, candidly admitting to Sky F1 that this has been his “worst season ever” and expressing little enthusiasm for the upcoming year.
Collins, who has an impressive background as a former McLaren senior performance engineer, scrutinized Hamilton’s struggles with the medium tyre, suggesting that Ferrari must conduct an immediate investigation into the matter. “It was always going to be a tough race from P19,” Collins remarked, highlighting the uphill battle Hamilton faced. “But the Ferrari did look strong in the dry yesterday.” She noted that Hamilton had an excellent first stint on hard tyres, raising hopes of a comeback.
However, everything fell apart when he transitioned to the medium tyres. “The medium tyre just went from bad to worse for Lewis,” Collins lamented. “The initial laps were slow, and Hulkenberg managed to protect his position. In the final stint, Hamilton was dropping behind him, which clearly frustrated him.” Collins insists this dramatic decline in performance is “something that they need to look at urgently,” as it left Hamilton deflated and struggling to find any competitive edge.
This isn’t the first time Hamilton has openly critiqued his performance this season. Earlier in Brazil, he described his anticipated move to Ferrari as a “nightmare” and even suggested that the team consider a “change of driver” after a disappointing qualifying in Hungary. Former teammate Jenson Button echoed concerns about Hamilton’s morale, stating that this was the “first time” he had seen Hamilton genuinely defeated in what has been a challenging inaugural season with Ferrari.
Button expressed optimism, noting Hamilton’s incredible resilience. “He’s very good at turning it around in the next race, so it won’t weigh on him after this weekend,” Button stated. Yet, with only two races remaining, Hamilton finds himself a staggering 74 points behind teammate Charles Leclerc in the Drivers’ Championship standings.
As fans hold their breath for the next race, the question remains: Will Hamilton rise from the ashes of this Las Vegas debacle, or is this the beginning of a downward spiral for the racing legend? The pressure is on Ferrari to address these critical performance issues and reignite Hamilton’s spark before it’s too late!
