F1 fans recently reacted to Lewis Hamilton claiming that he was no longer fast enough. This comment came after a poor performance at the 2024 F1 Qatar GP sprint qualifying.
In the sprint qualifying session in Lusail, the seven-time world champion was able to get into SQ3, however, he only managed to secure P7. He was behind his teammate, George Russell, both McLaren and Ferrari drivers, and his 2021 rival Max Verstappen.
After sprint qualifying, Lewis Hamilton was asked whether he had some issues since he claimed that the car was quick enough. In response, the Mercedes star smiled and admitted he was not quick like he used to be.
