Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, driving for Mercedes, compared his W15 car to a log following a disappointing performance at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

It’s like a plank of wood. No suspension. Just bouncing on the tires everywhere and can’t get on the power anywhere. Just the worst ride I think, the worst ride that we've definitely ever had, particularly through corners.

The F1 race took place on Sunday, November 3, as part of the Brazilian Grand Prix. Red Bull driver Max Verstappen achieved the best result, finishing in first place. Esteban Ocon from Alpine Renault claimed second place, finishing 19.477 seconds behind, while Pierre Gasly from Alpine secured third position, 22.532 seconds off the pace.

George Russell from Mercedes finished fourth, 23.265 seconds behind, and Charles Leclerc from Ferrari rounded out the top five, finishing 30.177 seconds behind the leader.

Defending champion Max Verstappen leads the drivers' overall standings this season with 367 points, ahead of Lando Norris from McLaren, who is in second place with 323 points.

Previously, Lewis Hamilton assessed his current racing form, noting that at 39 years old, he hasn't lost his edge.
