Lewis Hamilton’s Brazilian Grand Prix didn’t just go bad—it went full-on nightmare fuel. The seven-time champ’s Ferrari debut has been anything but smooth, and Interlagos? Pure chaos. Starting way back in 13th after a brutal qualifying session, things went sideways fast. A sluggish launch, then bam: clipped Carlos Sainz’s Williams, dropping him deeper into no-man’s-land. Not five laps later, he rear-ended Franco Colapinto’s Alpine, wrecking his front wing and forcing an emergency pit stop.

Even with a car hobbled by floor damage—downforce basically nonexistent—Hamilton fought on. Then the stewards slapped him with a five-second penalty for the Colapinto mess. Game over. Ferrari yanked him out before the checkered flag, cutting his misery short.
The disaster was contagious. Teammate Charles Leclerc crapped out too, leaving the Prancing Horse slumped in fourth in the constructors’ chase. For Hamilton? Another weekend without silverware, stretching his podium drought past 20 races. Brutal.
This mess came hot on the heels of Mexico’s drama, where officials penalized him for tangling with Verstappen. Between the bad calls and worse luck, his Ferrari honeymoon’s turned into a train wreck.
Meanwhile, Lando Norris? Smooth sailing. The Brit bagged the win, padding his championship lead to 24 points with just three rounds left. Next stop: Vegas, baby. Glitter, neon, and who knows what fresh madness awaits under those lights. Buckle up.
