The numbers were grim – thrashed 19-5 in qualifying by Charles Leclerc and outscored by 86 points – but Hamilton’s demeanour, never the same since the 2021 title that got away after he’d all-but won it, was especially downcast. And, predictably, led to questions about what happens if the end of a regulation cycle he never enjoyed doesn’t unlock a level of performance that’s palatable for all parties.
“I still have a dream that I hold hope in my heart for, that’s what I work towards,” he said. Whether that dream is more sweet than sour – and the ramifications of either extreme – will be a must-watch.
