Hamilton Snaps Back At Reporter After Ferrari Related Question

The seven-time World Champion reportedly wasn't happy about the question he was asked by a reporter after the end of the 2024 Japanese Grand Prix.

The race at Suzuka Circuit itself didn't go very well for the seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who started from P7 but finished in P9.

Both Mercedes drivers struggled in the first stint, but the 39-year-old struggled even more than his younger teammate, who he later let through.

Hamilton hasn't been able to beat George Russell this year so far, but what is probably more annoying for him is how far Mercedes seems to be off the pace of top teams at the moment.

As reported by total-motorsport.com, he wasn't in the best mood after the race. When asked about how it was for him, he reportedly gave a one-word "ok" answer.

The reporter then proceeded to ask the Mercedes driver whether he was looking forward to being with Scuderia Ferrari because they were faster; he snapped: "Do you have any better questions?"

Ferrari has been doing better than Mercedes in every single race this year so far. In fact, the team from Maranello is clearly the closest to Red Bull and, so far, the only team to beat Red Bull.

As it stands, the seven-time World Champion made a great call to change the teams if we look at their on-track performance.

However, the 39-year-old is probably growing tired of being asked whether he's looking forward to Ferrari. Some have even accused Hamilton of already being at Ferrari with his mind, as his performances have been underwhelming in the first few races of the season.

On the other hand, he was defended by his teammate, who jumped to his defense, saying there is nothing that has changed in Hamilton's approach to his team this year.
