Martin Brundle says he is finding it “very hard” to watch 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s downbeat interviews during the 2025 F1 season.

Seven-time𝔍 world champion Hamilton qualified and finished seve𒈔nth as his struggles to adapt to his Ferrari F1 car continued at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Hamilton was once again convincingly outperformed by teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, who finished 31 seconds ahead to claim Ferrari’s first p♔odium in💯 a grand prix this season.

Aside from an impressive pole position and win in the China sprint race in just his second competitive outing for Ferrari, Hamilton’s start to life in red has been largely disappointing🧜.

Following another difficult qualifying, Hamilton s🌄aid he needed a “brain transplant” to get his head around his Ferrari car, while after Sunday’s race in Jeddah he conceded he is bracing for a “painful” year.

"Nothing positive to take🍒, except for Charles finishing on the podium, which 🥀is great for the team," a glum Hamilton said.

"It was horrible, not enjoyable at all. I was just sliding around. I didn't have grip. First stint, massive understeer, car not turning and then massive deg. The second stint, slightly better balance but still just no 🀅pace. Pretty 💝bad.”

Hamil🥂ton added “I don’t have any answers” for his downturn i🐲n form.

The 40-year-old Briton’s ♊lack of understanding for his ongoing travails have left Brundle wor🌟ried.

“Hamilton would finish half a minute behind his team-mate Leclerc in seventh, albeit showing strong pace from time 🌺to time,” Brundle wro♔te in his Sky column.

♍“The pace is in there somewhere but it's a very hard watch when Lewis is doing post-race interviews at the moment.

“He's not happy with his performances and is cl🔯e♐arly more than a little perplexed and disappointed.”

What’s going on with Lewis Hamilton?

Earlier in the weekend, Br▨undle stated that he was skeptical about the reasons for Hamilton’s woes.

“Fred [Vasseur] summed it up, he said it’s been up and down, because there was a time when we talked about in commentary where he was in the mid 1m32s which was bang on the pace,” Brundle said during Sky Sports’ post-raceꦛ coverage.

“He ended up 31 seconds behind Charles Leclerc, his teammate. Obviously had a little bit more traffic because 💞he was further down the grid so you can take some off for that but it waꦯs up and down. I struggle to buy into he doesn’t understand the car. It’s a new car, but here we are knocking on the door of May, and they’ve had all the pre-season stuff and all that.

“So I just think Lew🌟is hasn’t gelled with this car and I don’t think he’s going th🅠e right way on the setup.

“I know from the things I’ve heard from Mercedes abou🌊t h𒈔ow Lewis likes the car in a certain way. Obviously can’t get the car there, where he needs it, so it’s difficult days. But what’s a bit odd is, all of a sudden, he was right there.”
