Lewis Hamilton Calls 2025 His Worst Formula 1 Season
Las Vegas – Lewis Hamilton labeled 2025 as his worst season in Formula 1, after finishing in tenth position in the Las Vegas Grand Prix, starting from the last row of the grid.
The disappointing first season of Hamilton with Ferrari continued in Sin City, where the seven-time world champion qualified last on his own merit for the first time in his illustrious career.
The British driver managed to climb to tenth position, which earned him a point, on Saturday night, but he was dejected by the performance when facing the media.
Terrible, was Hamilton’s assessment of his performance for Sky Sports F1. It has been the worst season in history. No matter how hard he tries, it keeps getting worse.

When asked what he was trying to do to change things, he replied: “Trying everything, in and out of the car”.In the statistics, this is one of his worst seasons: he is currently sixth in the championship, although he finished seventh in his last year with Mercedes last season, but achieved two race victories in 2024.
This year appears to be their third winless season in four years; prior to that, they had achieved at least one win for 15 consecutive seasons, dating back to their rookie campaign in 2007.
Hamilton’s signing for Ferrari was the talk of the 2025 pre-season, but the excitement quickly faded when the driver and team failed to compete at the front.
Hamilton achieved pole position and victory in the sprint race in China earlier this year, but he hasn’t achieved any pole positions or podium finishes in a grand prix this year.
Let’s remember that he called himself “useless” after the Hungarian Grand Prix mid-year and suggested that Ferrari should change drivers.
It is believed that his agreement with Ferrari extends at least until the end of 2026, although Hamilton recently suggested that he has a contract that will extend beyond that date.
