"Lewis Hamilton they be calling you washed bro": Fans react to the Ferrari driver's disastrous F1 Las Vegas GP

Formula 1 fans reacted to Lewis Hamilton's frustrating Las Vegas GP, where the Ferrari driver claimed a solitary point after a disastrous qualifying, which was followed by an average race. Pointing towards the British driver's back-to-back forgettable race weekends, fans called him "washed" on social media.

After his DNF in the Brazil GP earlier this month, Hamilton arrived in Las Vegas with high hopes. However, his hopes were quashed in the qualifying after he went out in Q1 on Saturday. Even though he made amends with the race where he improved from P19 to P10, it was far from what the fans expected from him.

As the seven-time world champion had yet another tough race in a season where he has been struggling consistently, fans took to their social media account to share their reactions. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, here's how they reacted to it:

A fan wrote, "Lewis Hamilton they be calling you washed bro." Another fan wrote, "either he’s washed or the car is just really shitty or a bit of both." "He has been bad tbh atleast he acknowledges unlike some people," wrote a fan. "I feel sad seeing him like this. Doesn’t deserve this" wrote another fan. A fan wrote, "Like nobody’s forcing u to be out there. Dudes a masochist" Another fan wrote, "Can’t believe being a fan of this guy made me have to cheer for the trash ass Ferrari team. Honestly, this is getting ridiculous."
