Saudi horrible & 2025 looking painful: Hamilton

Riyadh, Apr 21 (UNI) Lewis Hamilton described his Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as "horrible" and said he had no explanation for his lack of pace in the Ferrari.
The seven-time champion finished seventh and was 31 seconds behind team-mate Charles Leclerc, who scored Ferrari's first grand prix podium of the season with third place, the BBC reported.
"Nothing positive to take from today," Hamilton said, "apart from Charles on the podium, which is great for the team.
"It was horrible, not enjoyable at all. I was just sliding around. It's pretty bad."
He is seventh in the drivers' championship with his best result in a full grand prix this season his
fifth place in Bahrain a week ago.
Hamilton said that he was "struggling to feel the car beneath me" but that there was "no particular thing, nothing to say: 'Hey, this is the issue.'"
And asked why he had been so good in the sprint race in China last month, where he won from pole position, and had struggled elsewhere, he said: "I don't have an answer."
Briton Hamilton, 40, said he expected to struggle at the next race in Miami, too, adding: "I don't know how much longer I'll struggle for but it's definitely painful. Just going to try and improve from week to week."
"At the moment there is no fix so this is how it's going to be for the rest or the year. It's going to be painful.
"In qualifying it's me extracting performance and in the race I tried everything and the car just didn't want to go any quicker."
