In a dramatic twist at today’s Formula 1 Grand Prix, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton endured a frustrating race while Ferrari found themselves in headlines for all the wrong reasons following a bizarre pit lane incident.
Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, struggled with pace and tire degradation throughout the race, finishing outside the podium places. “The balance just wasn’t there today,” Hamilton admitted post-race. “We’ve got work to do.”
But it was Ferrari that provided the day’s strangest moment. During a routine pit stop, mechanics mistakenly fitted mixed tire compounds on Charles Leclerc’s car—something rarely seen in modern F1. The confusion cost Leclerc precious seconds and ultimately forced him to pit again to correct the error, dashing his hopes of a top-five finish.
Teammate Carlos Sainz also faced issues, with a slow stop compounding a tough afternoon for the Italian outfit.
At the front of the grid, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen cruised to another commanding victory, extending his lead in the championship standings. McLaren’s Lando Norris put in a stellar drive to secure second, while Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso returned to the podium in third after a strategic masterclass.
Today’s race shook up the constructors’ battle, raising more questions about Ferrari’s consistency and Mercedes’ development path as the 2025 season heats up.
