Lewis Hamilton had a tough season leading up to the F1 summer break. Following the "useless" comments as the Hungarian GP and the summer break in full swing, the seven-time champion shared a post with a two-word caption.
Ferrari tried a new suspension at the Mugello test and brought the same to the Belgian GP, along with new rear brakes. Lewis Hamilton has experienced a difficult season so far.
The Hungarian GP proved to be nothing good for Hamilton, as he failed to make Q3, which led to the "useless" comments as the Briton was seen frustrated with his performance. Both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc struggled during the race, with issues related to ride height and plank wear.
The summer break came at a very crucial time for the Ferrari duo. While Charles Leclerc is spending his break time playing padel and enjoying the pool in Monaco, Lewis Hamilton went to the green grasslands with his pet Roscoe.
The racer uploaded an image of himself playing with Roscoe in an open ground with the mountains in the background. Hamilton wore a beige oversized t-shirt paired with black shorts and completed the look with a green cap. In the caption he wrote:
"Outta office"
Lewis Hamilton posted the same picture on Instagram as well with the caption "DND". Lewis Hamilton also shared another tweet and shared a Spotify playlist named "Summer Break 25".
Guenther Steiner believes Lewis Hamilton should think about retirement
Former Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has said that Lewis Hamilton should consider retirement from F1 if he no longer enjoys the sport. He said that Hamilton can run within the top in the coming years, perhaps he should think about retirement if he can't produce more pace out of himself.
Hamilton made a move to Ferrari this season, but could not make any impact and his decision has largely been criticized, considering the performance he delivered so far. With P4 as his best finish, he has struggled with Ferrari's speed and found it tough to fight with the dominating duo of McLaren.
Guenther Steiner, talking about age as a factor for Hamilton, highlighted that the 40-year-old is in great shape and can continue in F1. But he also suggested that he might begin slowing down on the track with Lewis's growing age, so perhaps he should take retirement if he does not enjoy racing.
"Age always plays a role," Steiner told web.de. "But he's in top shape. Sure, you don't get faster with age. But he can definitely ride at a good level for a few more years. But if you're no longer having the joy, if you notice you're just struggling, then it's no use. Then it's better to say: I tried it, it didn't work, and I'm quitting."
Many believe that Hamilton will show improvement despite his disappointing performance in the first half.
