Hamilton issues DEVASTATING career verdict ahead of Ferrari move
Lewis Hamilton has reflected on his challenging 2024 Formula 1 season, describing it as one of the most difficult of his career.
The seven-time world champion has struggled with the underperforming Mercedes W15 and has often been outqualified by his teammate, George Russell.
Despite the setbacks, Hamilton has secured two race victories, further cementing his record as the most successful F1 driver in history.
The 39-year-old is set to conclude his illustrious 12-year tenure with Mercedes after the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
From 2025, Hamilton will join Ferrari in a final push to achieve an unprecedented eighth world championship title.
His departure from Mercedes marks the end of a highly successful partnership that delivered numerous championships and milestones.
Throughout the season, Hamilton has been vocal about his frustrations, labeling 2024 as his “worst” season despite his two wins.
His dissatisfaction peaked following a disappointing Brazilian Grand Prix, where he expressed a desire to cut his season short and take an early break.
At the recent Qatar Grand Prix, Hamilton’s struggles continued during the sprint qualifying session, where he finished four-tenths behind Russell.
Speaking to F1TV afterward, Hamilton lamented his lack of pace, admitting he felt far from competitive.
“Same as every other quali, not that great,” he said. “I’m just slow. Same every weekend.
The car felt relatively decent, no issues, but when you’re always back where I am, it makes competing for wins almost impossible.”
Hamilton also suggested that his prime years may be behind him, stating bluntly, “I’m definitely not fast anymore.”
Despite his disappointment, he vowed to give his best effort in the remaining races of the season.
As Hamilton prepares to begin a new chapter with Ferrari, fans are left to wonder whether this bold move will reignite his championship ambitions or signal the twilight of a remarkable career.
