"That’s what the money’s for. Cry into the millions": Fans react to Lewis Hamilton's "it's a nightmare" remark after F1 Brazilian GP

Formula 1 fans shared their reactions to Lewis Hamilton's latest confession, where he termed his debut season at Ferrari a "nightmare". Sharing their reactions on social media, the fans called the driver out for his choice.

Following the conclusion of the Brazil GP, Hamilton shared his honest thoughts about his first season with Ferrari. Speaking to the media, the British driver said:

"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."

Notably, Hamilton's first season at Ferrari was far from impressive as the Briton had a sprint win to his name in 21 races and five sprints. He has yet to pick up a win or a podium, whereas his teammate, Charles Leclerc, has seven podiums to his name.

As the interview surfaced on the internet, fans took to the micro-blogging site to share their reactions. Here are some reactions taken from X, formerly Twitter:

A fan wrote, "That’s what the money’s for. Cry into the millions." Another fan wrote, "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." "It’s almost over boo. But will next year be even worst? 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 an real enginee," another fan wrote. "Regret. That is the word that you are looking for, Lewis. Regret," wrote another fan. Another fan wrote, "The Ferrari Experience as usual." Wrote another fan, "The worst year of Lewis, in every sense."

"I mean, jeez, This is definitely a weekend to forget. It's a shame because I love Brazil and also, you know, just everyone in the team, every single person in the team, they turn up every week and give it their absolute best and to come away with nothing, to not finish a race the second time in the year."

Following an underwhelming qualifying on Saturday, where he qualified in P13, Hamilton faced one issue after another. In Lap 4 of the race, he made contact with Franco Colapinto, which damaged the floor of his car. As a result, Lewis Hamilton not only lost performance but also incurred a five-second time penalty, which put the final nail in his coffin.
