Lewis Hamilton, in my opinion, could very well be the greatest of all time for Formula 1 drivers. Yes, Senna this, Schumacher that, Verstappen blah, blah, blah. Each has their own claim to the title. But Hamilton's prowess, at his height, seemed preternatural, even if I wasn't a big Mercedes-AMG fan.
But of late, the superstar driver has struggled. He struggled with his Mercedes-AMG after the batshit call ending his dominant reign in Abu Dhabi. And in his Ferrari debut, one that was meant to see him back on the podium steps, well, Ferrari did what it does best: fumble the bag.
Yeah, the 2025 season for Hamilton, his first in the red jumpsuit, was properly horrendous. He DNF'd a couple times, the car was all over the place, Ferrari's CEO said some ludicrous crap meant to silence his own drivers (which is freaking insane), and basically drove around at the back of the pack all season long. It was so bad, so monumentally spirit-breaking, the F1 champion turned his phone off and bought a dirt bike.
