Lewis Hamilton suffered another frustrating Q2 exit at the Brazilian GP weekend, qualifying 13th for the Grand Prix around the Interlagos Circuit. The seven-time world champion’s disappointing result during qualifying sparked a wave of reactions on social media, where fans expressed their disappointment and criticism of the Briton’s performance.

Hamilton arrived in Brazil with a chance to claim his first podium with Ferrari in a Grand Prix format. However, the 40-year-old continues to endure one of the most unfortunate streaks in Ferrari history, holding the record for the most races without a podium finish for the Italian team. Despite sporting a special helmet during his runs around São Paulo, Hamilton was unable to capitalize in qualifying.

He was first eliminated in the second qualifying segment for the sprint qualifying session, and the trend sadly continued in the main qualifying for the Grand Prix, where he once again fell short, securing only 13th place.

Fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts. One wrote, “Sainz to Hamilton is going to go down as one of the biggest F1 downgrades of all time.” Another added, “Hamilton behind Alonso AGAIN 🤣🤣🤣.” Comments like “Hamilton getting eliminated today and yesterday is crazy work” and “Lewis what are you doing on the floor” also surfaced. Some fans expressed skepticism about his chances this season, with one stating, “Anyone that still believes he’s getting a Podium this year, I’m sorry but it’s not happening.” However, others acknowledged his legacy, saying, “Lewis qualy just ain’t there in this car. Still a legend.”

Despite the setbacks in qualifying, Hamilton showed resilience during the sprint race. Starting from 11th, he moved up the field and crossed the finish line in seventh place, earning two valuable points that increased his total in the drivers’ championship from 146 to 148.

Reflecting on what has been a topsy-turvy debut campaign with Ferrari, Hamilton remains determined. He has consistently finished in fourth place multiple times but has yet to crack the top three in a Grand Prix format. Speaking about his season, Hamilton admitted, “It’s not going well from my side, my year, and I just have to enjoy it wherever I am. That’s all I can do.”

As the season progresses, Lewis Hamilton’s fighting spirit continues to shine, even amid challenges. Fans and critics alike will be watching keenly to see if he can break his podium drought and add more milestones to his illustrious career.
