Lewis Hamilton expressed disappointment with his performance at the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix, labeling his qualifying session as “unacceptable.” Despite joining Ferrari with high expectations, the British driver faced a challenging weekend, further aggravated by his failure to progress beyond Q1. Hamilton was visibly disheartened and openly apologized for letting the team down, showing the intense pressure he feels to deliver at his new team.
Meanwhile, former F1 driver and pundit Martin Brundle shed light on a previously overlooked tactic used at Spa-Francorchamps. He explained how some drivers had gained subtle advantages by exploiting track limits or taking sneaky shortcuts, reigniting debates over sportsmanship and regulations in the sport. The revelation adds another layer of controversy to a race weekend already filled with drama.
Adding to the embarrassment, Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda faced FIA sanctions for driving too slowly during a session, a violation that raised eyebrows. The FIA’s swift action against the Japanese driver reflects stricter enforcement around driving standards. This development comes as Red Bull seeks to maintain a clean image amid internal changes following the sacking of team principal Christian Horner.
