Fans think Lewis Hamilton is 'completely done' with Ferrari after latest radio message at Belgian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton's lucrative move to Ferrari has not gone to plan so far and his frustrations were clear at the Belgian Grand Prix sprint.

Lewis Hamilton's stint at Ferrari has not gone to plan on the track and fans noticed his frustrations yet again ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix.

While the lucrative move looked set to bring Hamilton back into championship contention, he is yet to win a race with the Scuderia and has not even made a podium in the 2025 season.

The 40-year-old did well in tough conditions to finish fourth at his home event at Silverstone a few weeks and was hoping to kick on at Spa-Francorchamps following a brief break.

However, he finished in 18th place in sprint qualifying before coming 15th in Saturday's sprint race - which was won by Max Verstappen for the first time in the 2025 season.

Ferrari teammate Charles LeClerc came fourth but Hamilton had a time to forget - spinning at the chicane during his final flying lap in SQ1 and failing to make the second qualifying stage as a result.

In Saturday's sprint, the seven-time world champion was heard telling his team on the radio that he had "no rear already" - again encountering another issue with his car.

It was a similar story for Hamilton, with fans weighing in on his struggles continuining.

One user on X wrote: "Wow, Hamilton's Ferrari saga just keeps serving up delicious new lows with every race, doesn't it? He should retire from Formula1."

A second said: "Do we think Lewis (Hamilton) has lost interest in F!?? he seems v lack-lustre since moving to Ferrari and not being able to get the results he wants , look at his sprint race today (Spa) p15?

A third added: "Ferrari is the pit that they’ve dug for lewis hamilton bc what kind of suffering is this? it’s better to drive go kart or he might as well use his legs to run. Useless car."

Reacting to further difficulty on the track, Hamilton told Sky Sports: “Well, the positive is I didn’t spin and I did move forward, but it was a really tough race. We were all in the DRS train, which was unfortunate, but I’ve definitely learned a lot about the upgrades that we have.

"I was just reflecting — part of the upgrade Charles [Leclerc] has had since Montreal — and you saw the crash that he had there. It was similar to something that I experienced yesterday.”

Though Hamilton was downbeat, he did express optimism for qualifying and Sunday's race but admitted alterations needed to be addressed imminently.

He added: “So it’s just about fine-tuning it. Yesterday was the first time running it for me and I think now it’s just about fine-tuning it. We can make some changes between now and quali. My actual pace in [Sprint] quali was pretty good — not so much, I would say, in the race — but position is obviously important here. I’m hoping for a better result today.”

Hamilton is sixth in the driver rankings, with Ferrari second to McLaren in the team standings.
