F1 LIVE | Hamilton paints worrying picture, Andretti drops McLaren bombshell

Lewis Hamilton spoke about what to expect from Ferrari heading into the United States Grand Prix week in Austin.

The Briton is coming off another disappointing result in Singapore — though this time the outcome was heavily influenced by a brake failure in the closing laps, which cost him three positions.

He eventually crossed the line in eighth, just a few tenths ahead of Fernando Alonso, after having run comfortably in fifth before the issue, ahead of Kimi Antonelli and his teammate, thanks to an aggressive strategy on the soft tyres.

Hamilton also voiced his frustration with the recent results, acknowledging that the entire team is still pushing flat out to turn things around as quickly as possible, despite a season filled with setbacks.

The former American Formula 1 world champion believes that the papaya team is favouring Lando Norris in the title fight against Oscar Piastri — even though the Australian has led the championship for most of the season and still holds a considerable advantage in the standings.

The Australian still holds a 22-point lead over his teammate with six races and three sprints remaining. Andretti, who attended the Festival of Sports, was asked by Corriere della Sera about the F1 season and how he rated the drivers. The focus, of course — alongside Verstappen — was on the two McLaren drivers.
