**Lewis Hamilton Calls His Debut Season at Ferrari a ‘Nightmare’; Fans React Strongly on Social Media**
Following the conclusion of the Brazil Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton opened up about his challenging debut season with Ferrari, describing it as a “nightmare.” The seven-time world champion shared his candid thoughts with the media, stating:
> “It’s a nightmare. I’ve been living it for a while. The flip between the dream of driving for this amazing team and then the nightmare of the results that we’ve had.”
Hamilton’s first year at Ferrari has indeed been far from what fans and the team had hoped. Across 21 races and five sprint events, Hamilton has yet to secure a race win or podium finish. In contrast, his teammate Charles Leclerc has already amassed seven podiums, highlighting the difficulties Hamilton has faced adapting to his new team.
### Fan Reactions on Social Media
As Hamilton’s interview circulated online, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their opinions, many expressing disappointment or frustration with the driver’s comments and performance.
One user wrote,
*“That’s what the money’s for. Cry into the millions.”*

Another fan questioned Hamilton’s choice to join Ferrari in such a challenging period:
*“What did he see in Ferrari that made him think they would be consistent winners and give him a car to win a championship? Part of winning is picking the right team at the right time.”*

Criticism also extended to Ferrari’s team management:
*“It’s almost over boo. But will next year be even worse? This team doesn’t have a clue. It appears as though they are trying to be #RedBullCheats number 2.0 by focusing on one car only. You gotta say something about your side of the garage including Adami. He’s not a real engineer.”*

Others summed up their feelings with a single word or phrase:
*“Regret. That is the word that you are looking for, Lewis. Regret.”* — @anywillwork
*“The Ferrari Experience as usual.”* — @Gilangbayu_2762
*“The worst year of Lewis, in every sense.”* — @LuisMix_52

### Hamilton’s Brazil GP: A Weekend to Forget
Hamilton’s tough season continued at the São Paulo race, where he experienced his second DNF (Did Not Finish) of the year. Speaking after the race, Hamilton expressed his disappointment:
> “I mean, jeez, this is definitely a weekend to forget. It’s a shame because I love Brazil and also, you know, every single person in the team turns up every week and gives it their absolute best. To come away with nothing, to not finish a race for the second time this year—it hurts.”
Early in the race, Hamilton made contact with Franco Colapinto on Lap 4, damaging the floor of his car. This incident not only diminished his performance but also resulted in a five-second time penalty, ultimately ending his chances for points in the race.
