Mercedes w15

Sao Paulo Grand Prix: After a disappointing Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton admitted he’d prefer to "take a holiday" rather than finish the season in his struggling Mercedes W15.

The seven-time world champion endured one of his most challenging weekends, securing just one point after a tenth-place finish, while teammate George Russell nearly fought for a win before a questionable pit stop cost him the lead. Despite the results, Hamilton found solace in a cherished pre-race experience, driving one of his hero Ayrton Senna's iconic McLaren MP4/5B—a moment Hamilton called "the greatest honor" of his career.

Reflecting on the race at Interlagos, Hamilton didn’t hold back his frustration with the car’s performance. “We were just slow,” he told Sky Sports F1. “The car was really, really tough. The team could have won also today, so at least one car was behaving a lot better.”
