Lewis Hamilton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Lewis Hamilton finds himself at a pivotal crossroads, with both his storied F1 career and off-track pursuits making headlines for all the wrong reasons this week. After a blockbuster winter move from Mercedes to Ferrari, expectations soared, but as Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur candidly admitted to The Independent and Sky Sports, both he and Lewis “stupidly underestimated” just how seismic the shift would be after nearly two decades in the Mercedes orbit. Hamilton’s adaptation has proved torturous, with no grand prix podiums in 14 starts, emotional lows including a points-less finish at Hungary—a track he once owned—and public self-doubt where he even suggested Ferrari should consider a replacement. Still, Vasseur and the Crash.net analyst roundtable insist there’s life in the old champion yet, reminding everyone that Hamilton’s resilience and methodical approach have reversed fortunes before. His confidence may be sapped, but there are whispers that the rule changes for next year and tracks suiting Ferrari’s aerodynamic quirks could see the Brit bounce back before the curtain falls on 2025.Off the grid, Lewis’s commercial woes grabbed just as many column inches as his racing. GPFans reports his once-hyped Neat Burger chain has finally entered voluntary liquidation, shuttering its last two London stores and erasing the promise of his plant-based crusade—despite celebrity investors and steadfast Instagram promotion. This news comes as his off-track empire is valued near $300 million, according to social media recaps on TikTok and by GPFans, but the Neat Burger collapse marks a rare public failure and led to fresh speculation in the press about his post-racing ambitions as the sun begins to set on his F1 days.Meanwhile, Hamilton’s personal brand remains undimmed; his shirtless “thirst trap” Instagram posts nearly broke F1 Twitter this week, as noted by Sportskeeda and GPFans. Fans flooded the comments, linking the posts to the notorious “Hamilton thirst trap curse”—that longstanding F1 meme where every topless gym pic supposedly precedes a high-profile paddock firing. Whether tongue-in-cheek or not, it shows his grip on social media relevance, even as on-track results lag. Still, Hamilton insists via Ferrari channels and his own posts that the fight is not over, promising fans to regroup and return stronger for Zandvoort’s Dutch Grand Prix next week. Speculation persists about early retirement from pundits like Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher, but Hamilton’s own camp has squashed such rumors on Instagram, making it clear: he may be bruised, but he’s nowhere near finished.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
