Formula 1 | After 'bad races', Hamilton 'can't wait for Christmas'

Lewis Hamilton has admitted he is looking forward to the end of the season. The Mercedes driver is experiencing a complicated second part of the season, as he competes in his final races with his current team before joining Scuderia Ferrari in 2025.

“It’s devastating to have these bad races in the second half of the season” Hamilton said. “But all I can say is we're trying. It's definitely not acceptable, it's definitely not good enough.”

“And we have to take responsibility, I have to take responsibility. But I'm doing the best with what I have. The car was the worst this weekend. I don't know what it is, we're going to having to find out what it is.”

Hamilton seems somewhat disconnected in recent weeks, and he confirms that he is waiting until the end of the season: “I'm focused on other things. I'm not fighting for the championship, it doesn't really matter where we are in the championship.”

“I don't care if I finish ahead or behind George [Russell]it doesn't make much difference to me. I just want to keep the car off the wall and try to score points for the team if I can.”

“If I finish well and they give me a car that doesn't bounce around the track in the next few races, then hopefully we'll get a better result. But yeah, I'm looking forward to Christmas.”
