Lewis Hamilton laments difficult Japanese Grand Prix as struggles continue

Posted : 08 April 2024

Lewis Hamilton expressed his frustration following a challenging performance at the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday, where he finished in ninth place, further exacerbating his disappointing start to the Formula 1 season. The seven-time world champion, who has struggled to secure finishes higher than seventh this year, faced difficulties with his tyres and steering throughout the race at Suzuka, dominated by Max Verstappen.

 

Despite his best efforts, Hamilton conceded that the result fell short of expectations, acknowledging the current limitations of the Mercedes car. Hamilton's struggles were evident as he allowed teammate George Russell to overtake him while grappling with steering issues, ultimately finishing in ninth position.

 

Reflecting on the team's performance, Hamilton emphasized the need for continuous improvement to enhance the car's competitiveness on the grid. He noted that the pace of the Mercedes was only sufficient for a sixth-place finish, underscoring the demanding task ahead for the team in addressing performance deficiencies.

 

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, who altered his plans to attend the Japanese Grand Prix following the team's lackluster start to the season, remained optimistic despite the disappointing outcome. Wolff emphasized the importance of learning from the weekend's challenges and focusing on enhancing performance ahead of the upcoming Chinese Grand Prix, underscoring the team's commitment to overcoming obstacles and striving for improvement at every circuit.
