Lando Norris Drops Bombshell Theory on Lewis Hamilton’s Demise at Chinese Grand Prix
In a shocking turn of events at the Chinese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari went from Sprint pole position to a disappointing performance on race day. The disappearance of Ferrari’s pace left many puzzled, including Chinese Grand Prix victor Lando Norris, who came forward with a bold theory.
Norris suggested that Hamilton’s downfall could be attributed to the challenges of dealing with “dirty air” while trailing other cars on the track. The McLaren driver highlighted the significant impact of being within three seconds of the car in front, causing aerodynamic disturbances and reduced grip for the trailing car.
Despite securing Sprint pole and a flawless victory, Hamilton struggled in qualifying and the race, ultimately finishing in P6 after being unable to maintain his earlier momentum. To compound his woes, Hamilton, along with Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly, faced disqualification post-race due to various technical infractions.
Norris, showcasing his resilience, managed to clinch a runner-up finish alongside teammate Oscar Piastri in a McLaren one-two triumph. The young driver navigated a brake pedal issue while fending off Mercedes’ George Russell, demonstrating his skill and determination on the track.
While Norris attributed Hamilton’s struggles to aerodynamic challenges, the seven-time World Champion himself pointed to setup changes on the SF-25 as the primary cause for his performance decline. Hamilton expressed disappointment in the team’s decision-making, resulting in a subpar showing at the Chinese Grand Prix.
As the dust settles from the Chinese Grand Prix, the F1 world remains abuzz with speculation and analysis of the dramatic events that unfolded on race day. With Ferrari languishing in P5 in the Constructors’ standings, the pressure is mounting for the iconic team to make significant improvements moving forward.
