Lewis Hamilton at centre of ‘biggest Ferrari disgrace in the team’s history’
Bernie Ecclestone believes that the double disqualification suffered by Ferrari at the Chinese Grand Prix was the ‘biggest disgrace’ in the team’s F1 history. Both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were removed from the classification after failing post-race inspections. The Chinese GP weekend was a rollercoaster of emotions for Hamilton and Ferrari.
The seven-time world champion headed into the weekend on uncertain ground after an underwhelming debut event for the team and the driver in Melbourne. However, Hamilton hit the ground running in Shanghai. He impressed in free practice and scored a surprise sprint shootout P1 award on Friday. Then, on Saturday, the 40-year-old dominated the sprint race to score his first victory as a Ferrari driver. That was where the good fortune ended, though.
