Ferrari fans want to ‘end the season’ after seeing Lewis Hamilton incident at the Brazilian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton found himself caught up in two incidents on lap one of the Brazilian Grand Prix that ruined his race.

First of all, he was bumped wide at turn one, dropping to the back of the pack. By the end of the lap, he found himself on the tail of Franco Colapinto, but a misjudgment of space would see his front wing destroyed at high speed, before it got jammed under his Ferrari car.

The damage removed a lot of Hamilton’s downforce and ended any hopes of competing for a solid result. Ever the competitor, he refused to retire from the Brazilian Grand Prix, but was confined to the back of the pack. He was also handed a five-second penalty for clipping the Alpine.

Hamilton is impressed by Ferrari’s work ahead of 2026, which offers him a lot more hope. Sunday was a big contrast to when Hamilton produced a ‘stunning’ moment on Saturday during the sprint race. He had a great start, but couldn’t replicate it just under 24 hours later.

Ferrari fans campaign to ‘end the season’ after Lewis Hamilton crash at the Brazilian Grand Prix

Martin Brundle feels sorry for Hamilton, who has had his fair share of bad luck to deal with this season. For the first time in his career, it looks as though he will go through an entire Formula 1 campaign without scoring a podium.

His eventual retirement on lap 39 signalled the first time he had to drop out of the Sao Paulo race since 2012, when he crashed out while fighting for the lead with Nico Hulkenberg.

Speaking on X (formerly known as Twitter), fans were keen to share their verdict on how they view Ferrari’s performance in 2025.

“Just retire the car and stop wasting time,” said one fan. Another agreed with them, too, “There is no reason to keep the car on track. Retire the car.”

“Just retire the car,” insisted another member of the Tifosi, upset with how the first few laps unfolded.

The most passionate response urged the team to pack up for the year, already, “End the season.”

“They should retire the car,” agreed another individual, while one last response shared an idea that Ferrari fans have grown familiar with, “Pain.”

Why Ferrari will be a lot more optimistic about 2026 with Lewis Hamilton

Looking at the other two teams Hamilton has driven for, there’s a clear indicator which gives reason for fans to have optimism.

Both at McLaren and Mercedes, in his second seasons with them (2008 and 2014), he claimed a drivers’ championship.

That’s not to suggest that outcome definitely awaits him next year, but now he knows everything about his new team, he will be a lot more comfortable.

Problems that he faced with the SF25 will have been addressed, and he’ll be back to square one. It might be one last chance for glory.
