Lewis Hamilton shared a surprising reaction to his Mercedes challenger during the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver, on his team radio, asked if his car was broken as he consistently began to fall behind the front runners — the Red Bulls, McLarens, and Ferraris.
Hamilton had a far-from-ideal start to his Qatar GP outing after the Mercedes driver had a false start to his race. As a result, he was handed a five-second time penalty. It wasn't all, as the seven-time world champion seemingly ran over debris on the track.
The action caused his tires to get punctured. In doing so, he lost multiple track positions and had to come to the pits to change his tires. However, it did not help his race, as Hamilton complained about his pace.
