Lewis Hamilton isn’t afraid to express his opinions about the current events in the Formula 1 world. The paddock has been filled with controversies, causing shock and ongoing discussions. One such controversy involved an investigation into misconduct during the 2023 season. Hamilton has shared his thoughts on these matters, expressing disappointment and stating that it doesn’t reflect well on the sport.
One particular incident involved suspicions of interference and result manipulation during the 2023 Saudi Arabian GP. The FIA president was also allegedly involved in withholding certification for the Las Vegas GP. Hamilton found the entire situation to be disappointing and believed it didn’t portray Formula 1 in a positive light.
Hamilton emphasized the importance of this moment for the sport to showcase its values. He acknowledged that the handling of these controversies thus far has been less than satisfactory. This pivotal time 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. Speculation arose regarding 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 encountered issues with his car during the first two race weekends. His seat was broken during the Bahrain GP, resulting in a seventh-place finish. Additionally, his rear wing came loose during the Saudi Arabian GP’s FP2 session.
These issues could significantly impact Hamilton’s chances in the driver’s championship. It is crucial for Mercedes to step up their game and provide better opportunities for the driver. The plan is to compete for the world championship in Hamilton’s final year with Mercedes in Formula 1.
