Lewis Hamilton might have snubbed Ferrari and showcased his loyalty to Mercedes by signing a contract extension despite links to the Maranello outfit. However, the Brit now shares the pain with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. The Brit and the Monegasque put in an incredible shift during the entirety of the United States GP weekend. Leclerc secured pole position for the race even if his Ferrari challenger wasn’t up for the task during the race and Hamilton almost clinched his first race win. However, as we all know, both drivers suffered a heartbreaking outcome after the race. Now, the two have broken the silence and shared their unified opinion on the matter.

As we all know, Hamilton and Leclerc were disqualified from the US GP after a post-race inspection. The two were disqualified on the grounds of failing to maintain minimum plank thickness post-race as covered under Article 3.5.9 of FIA’s Technical Regulations.

Hamilton and Leclerc were instantly disqualified after these checks and stripped of their respective P2 and P6 results. We had not heard from either regarding this disappointing outcome from a hard-fought race. However, the two made a unified 1-word message breaking their silence on the matter on Instagram.

The two posted a photo on Instagram together that speaks a thousand words. However, if the disappointed look of the two wasn’t clear in the picture alone, the picture was accompanied by a caption that read, “mood“ to reiterate the point.

Charles Leclerc Sounds Warning Bells as Lewis Hamilton Leaves Ferrari’s Achilles Heel Exposed

The rare scenario definitely caught everyone off-guard and was the cause of immense misery for the two drivers. However, rules are rules and misery loves company. Although come next race weekend, the two will be at each other’s throats once again as there is still unfinished business in the current season.

Lewis Hamilton sets his sight on the goal for the season

The Brit might have shared some misery with Leclerc, however, by the end of the current season he wants to be the reason behind the Monegasque and his team’s misery. How? Simply by being ahead of them in the constructor’s championship standings. Mercedes currently leads the Italian team by 22 points. Hamilton wishes to end the season in the same position exacting revenge for 2022 as he makes the P2 finish the sole focus for the season.

Hamilton expressed this agenda while speaking to the media after the Japanese GP. He said, “Our ultimate goal is to try and get ahead of the Ferraris and that’s what my goal was today. It’s to beat the Ferraris in the constructor’s championship. That’s all that matters. We’re not fighting for a driver’s position in the championship because firstly we’re not close and secondly we’re not fighting for the championship so. Now it’s about just getting the maximum points for the team. I think that’s what we did here.”
