Lewis Hamilton faced a challenging weekend at the Brazilian Grand Prix, struggling to find form in both the sprint and the main race. In the sprint, he managed an underwhelming P11 finish, and during qualifying, he was eliminated in Q1. The main race provided little solace, with Hamilton crossing the line in P10, earning just a single point.
Brazil has always held a special place in Hamilton’s heart, making the weekend’s struggles particularly disheartening. His frustration was evident in a post-race radio message, where he hinted that this might mark the end of his season despite three races remaining on the calendar. The message reflected his disappointment, emphasizing the emotional toll of the underperformance at a venue he deeply cherishes.
