Hamilton in tears after 'worst race' of his F1 career

Lewis Hamilton's dream move to Ferrari is becoming a nightmare, with the seven-time world champion emotionally overwhelmed after a disastrous Spanish Grand Prix.

According to major German outlet Bild, the Formula 1 world "has never seen Lewis Hamilton as devastated" as he was in Barcelona.

"The Ferrari driver wiped tears from his eyes before collecting himself to answer questions from journalists from around the world," the report said.

Hamilton, now 40, was visibly shaken and described the event as "the worst race I've ever taken part in in my life".

When speaking to the media, his answers were brief — just two or three words at a time — until one journalist pressed him for more.

"What do you want me to say?" Hamilton replied.

His frustrations began as early as Friday, when he radioed in: "Something is wrong with this car." Despite higher expectations after qualifying, his race pace collapsed on Sunday.

When asked what went wrong, Hamilton simply said: "There's no point explaining it. It's not your fault. I just don't know what to say."

Surprisingly, he didn't blame the car outright — especially since teammate Charles Leclerc had secured two podiums in the past two races.

"I'm sure they won't," Hamilton said when asked if Ferrari would give him answers in the coming days. "It was probably just me."

Former teammate and 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg, now working for Sky, weighed in on the situation.

"What we're experiencing from Lewis at the moment is a continuation of his performances from last year," he said. "George Russell usually had the upper hand, and that's continuing now at Ferrari.

"He's always missing that crucial last bit of pace."

Rosberg suggested age may finally be catching up with F1's most decorated driver.

"My gut feeling is that even if you're the most successful driver of all time, at some point you're not as fast as you used to be. We're talking about age here.

"And when you're 40, that moment inevitably comes.

Even if you only lose a tenth of a second, that's a lot — especially when you're up against the best of the next generation."
