Unhappy Hamilton’s short post-race media session shows his frustrations at seventh-place finish in Jeddah
Lewis Hamilton was in no mood for questioning after a disappointing Saudi Arabian GP where he finished seventh.
After the highs of winning the sprint race in China last month, the seven-time world champion came into the race in Jeddah saying he needed “a brain transplant” in order to understand his new Ferrari F1 car.
Despite the win in Shanghai, Hamilton has largely struggled with his new team after joining from Mercedes over the winter. And he could not hide his disappointment when questioned after the race in Saudi, where his team-mate Charles Leclerc was able to finish third in the same machinery.
Hamilton was asked if there were some positives he could take from his second stint after his tyre stop, and whether he was more comfortable, to which he said: “No. There was not one second [I was comfortable].”

He was pressed by Sky F1 as to how hard it was to drive, and Hamilton said there was no hiding behind the performance of the car.
He added: “Well, clearly the car is capable of being P3, so Charles did a great job today – so I can’t blame it on the car.”
In a follow-up as to whether he had any idea why it was only him who was struggling, Hamilton simply replied: “No.”
Meanwhile, Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur admitted Hamilton could be struggling to adjust to his new team.
Speaking to Sky F1 immediately after the race, he said: “I didn’t discuss with Lewis, but it was a bit up and down. It’s not that he was always off the pace, but let me discuss with him first.
“There is no problem. It is confidence with the car and a little bit with himself in that everything is new and for sure, this weekend when you don’t do a long stint on Friday, we were struggling a little bit with the balance – but let’s see.”
