The British driver, who could only manage a 10th-place finish, appeared downcast when asked about his feelings after the race. Speaking via Sky Sports, the seven-time world champion admitted to feeling terrible, stressing how it keeps getting worse despite trying everything.
"I feel terrible. It's been the worst season ever, and no matter how much I try, it keeps getting worse. I'm trying everything, in and out of the car," he said.
Hamilton had shown promising pace during practice, but his struggles began in qualifying, where he failed to advance past the first round, setting a lap time only fast enough for last on the grid.

Hamilton admits to struggling after Vegas qualifying

Earlier, Hamilton also admitted he felt horrible after his qualifying for the Las Vegas race. The Ferrari driver revealed that he couldn’t put together a good lap in the weather-affected session.
It is worth recalling that this is not the first time Hamilton has offered a downbeat assessment of himself and his stint at Ferrari. During the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, the former Mercedes driver called himself ‘useless’ after failing to advance into the final stages of qualifying.
