Lewis Hamilton, one of the most successful drivers in Formula 1 history, made headlines with a shocking comment following his first practice session (FP1) ahead of the upcoming Grand Prix.
The seven-time World Champion expressed his displeasure with his Ferrari  car, delivering an eight-word statement that left many surprised.
Hamilton, who has had a long career with Mercedes, was seen driving for Ferrari during the practice session, sparking curiosity and questions from both fans and media alike.
Known for his meticulous attention to detail and high standards, Hamilton did not hold back in voicing his concerns about the performance of his Ferrari car.
“I’m not happy with the car, something’s off,” Hamilton said succinctly. These eight words quickly became the focal point of conversations in the F1 paddock, as fans and pundits tried to decipher what the British driver was referring to.
Hamilton, who has been dominant in F1 for over a decade, is often known for pushing the limits of his  cars and finding issues even when they seem to perform well on track. This comment follows a series of disappointing results for the Ferrari team in recent races, where they have struggled to keep pace with the likes of Red Bull and Mercedes.
Despite the discontent expressed by Hamilton, there were no reports of any major mechanical issues with the  car.

Hamilton’s statement has sparked debate among fans and analysts alike, with some questioning whether his dissatisfaction could lead to a shift in his long-term racing plans. Although Hamilton has been synonymous with Mercedes, this unexpected comment about Ferrari raises eyebrows about his future in F1 and whether he might be looking for a change in his career.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Hamilton and the Ferrari team as they work to address the issues raised during the FP1 session. Can Hamilton and Ferrari turn things around and deliver a performance worthy of the champion’s standards? Only time will tell.
