Lewis Hamilton’s 2024 Qatar GP is best forgotten for the seven-time champion. The Briton complained of not having pace in the car after qualifying. The weekend only went south for Hamilton as he requested his team to retire the car during the race. Fans came out and pointed out his lack of professionalism after his pleas to retire the car.

Hamilton was given a drive-through penalty for speeding in the pit lane. The Briton was asked by the team about the penalty. And the Mercedes driver requested his team to retire the car and end the misery. The floor was already damaged and the #44 driver was struggling with his car.
