Controversial Hamilton comments emerge as BRUTAL 2024 verdict given
Lewis Hamilton has been labeled the biggest disappointment of the 2024 Formula 1 season in a harsh critique from former driver David Coulthard.
The seven-time world champion’s final year with Mercedes before his move to Ferrari was marked by both remarkable highs and troubling lows.
Hamilton delivered a memorable victory at Silverstone, thrilling his home fans, but struggled throughout the season, particularly in qualifying.
At the Brazilian Grand Prix, following a poor performance, Hamilton admitted he was ready to end his season early.
Statistically, Hamilton was outperformed by his teammate George Russell, losing 19-5 in GP qualifying and 5-1 in Sprint qualifying sessions.
His inconsistency and lack of performance raised questions about his form during a challenging campaign.
Speaking on Viaplay’s F1 Talks 2024 Review, Coulthard discussed Hamilton’s struggles while also mentioning Logan Sargeant’s departure from Williams.
While acknowledging Sargeant’s underperformance, Coulthard turned his focus to Hamilton, calling him the season’s biggest disappointment.
“Lewis is a seven-time world champion, a winning machine, but I’ve never seen this version of him in Formula 1,” Coulthard remarked.
Next season, Hamilton faces an uphill battle as he joins Ferrari, competing alongside Charles Leclerc.
The Monegasque driver, a Ferrari stalwart since his junior days, will aim to establish himself as the team’s leader, ensuring Hamilton’s challenges continue in 2025.
