FIGHTING FERRARI FIRMLY FREE FROM THE LEWIS HAMILTON QUALI CONFUSION LOSS
Analysis of Lewis Hamilton's costly Q1 error at the Las Vegas GP. Jenson Button & Bernie Collins explain the confusion between the timing line and red lights that led to him aborting his final lap.
Jenson Button and Bernie Collins have expressed their backing for Ferrari following the "confusion" that arose during Lewis Hamilton's last attempt in Q1 at the Las Vegas Grand Prix.
The seven-time F1 champion decided to halt what might have been his final lap, mistakenly thinking he hadn't reached the timing line in time to commence a new lap, as indicated by the red lights on his dashboard.
This decision resulted in him finishing in P20, last on the grid, after clocking the slowest time in the rain-drenched first qualifying session in Las Vegas.
For the first time in his F1 career, Hamilton will line up at the back due to his pace, having prematurely exited from a crucial final chance.
It quickly became clear that he had erred amid the chaos and poor conditions, but given that he had faced a yellow flag shortly before and had briefly contacted a bollard with his SF-25, he believed it wouldn't have significantly altered his performance.
Button, who was once Hamilton's teammate at McLaren, stressed the importance of continuing to push until advised to do otherwise, which the 105-time race winner failed to do.
"Continue until you're told to slow down," the 2009 F1 champion stated on Sky Sports F1.
"You should be aware of all the rules. It can be very challenging for a driver, especially when red lights appear in front of you, giving the impression that it's finished.
"However, the timing line is before that point, and he should know this since his dashboard displays the time for the previous lap.
"In such difficult conditions, with so many distractions, he may have been relieved that it seemed over, but he lost sight of what he needed to do for his next lap."
Was Hamilton to blame?
When it was mentioned that the Ferrari pit wall would have been aware of the tight situation, Button responded, "But they can't assume he understands that the timing line differs from the red light gantry," clarifying that the timing line and start/finish line are located at different spots.
Collins defended Riccardo Adami, Hamilton's race engineer, pointing out that he made efforts to ensure his driver did not lift off the throttle.
"I just wanted to add to that a bit. I was trying to catch it during the commentary, and I listened again when Lewis went out, as it was evident from the radio that there was some confusion regarding the light," Collins mentioned.
"On the lap prior, the one where he was approaching the line, the pit wall informed him that it would be closed for one more lap, urging him to keep pushing for another attempt.
This serves as a clear signal to a driver: first, that you’re not in a safe position if they urge you to push for another lap; secondly, that it's close to the limit, but they believe it's feasible, or they wouldn't suggest it.
"He received that message earlier in the lab. Then, as he approaches the line, Lewis inquires, "Am, am I secure?"
"His engineer responds, saying, 'No, keep up the pace.'" Lewis then says, 'I say, "I see the light, light; I see the red light."' The engineer reiterates, 'No, keep going.' reiterates, 'No,''
"However, by that moment, it’s already too late. He had initially been informed—though I didn’t review everything—prior to reaching the line that it would be tight and he needed to maintain his speed.
"When he saw the red light, he thought perhaps Ferrari miscalculated the timing, or he hadn’t completed the lap in time, or other factors played into it, as Jenson pointed out.
"He believed he hadn’t made it. He immediately eased off the throttle. At that point, it’s too late; once a driver slows down, there's no use in advising them to accelerate again, because the chance to complete the lap has already slipped away. All these elements contributed to what happened. Still, I'd argue that the Ferrari pit crew had provided the necessary information.
In response to accusations of favouritism toward Hamilton, with former Aston Martin race strategist Collin supporting the team, the 15-time Grand Prix champion replied, "No."
He continued: "It's a complex situation. He’s not the first to have made such a mistake.
"But indeed, the timing line differs from the finish line. That’s something you should be aware of since the time displays on your dashboard. We are all made aware of our lap times as we cross that line. "
SERGIO PEREZ SLAMS RED BULL ENVIRONMENT AFTER SHOCKING CADILLAC F1 MOVE
Sergio Perez signs with Cadillac F1 for 2026. Read his honest take on the " Verstappen problem" and his new start with Bottas.
Sergio Perez’s time at Red Bull wrapped up after the 2024 F1 season, and honestly, it wasn’t pretty. His performance kept sliding, and by the end, everyone saw it coming.
Looking back, Perez didn’t hold back about his years with Red Bull. He talked about the constant criticism and summed it up with, “Everything was a problem.”
He first joined Red Bull in 2021, stepping in for Alex Albon. Four seasons later, he and the team went their separate ways. But he’s not done with F1 just yet—he’s signed a multi-year deal with Cadillac, teaming up with Valtteri Bottas this season. It’s a fresh start, and for Perez, probably a shot to end his career on a high note after hitting rock bottom at Red Bull.
It wasn’t always this rough, though. When he first joined, he actually impressed people by keeping up with Max Verstappen—sometimes even beating him. In 2023, Perez finished second behind Verstappen, giving Red Bull their first-ever one-two finish in the drivers’ standings.
But 2024 was a disaster. He started okay, but quickly lost pace, and the bad run just wouldn’t stop. Eventually, Red Bull decided they’d had enough.
Talking about his time at Red Bull on the Crack podcast, Perez said, “We had the best team. Everything just fell apart. Honestly, we could’ve dominated for a decade. But it all ended. Red Bull is the best team, but it’s complicated—being Max’s teammate is the toughest job in F1. It’s the best and worst seat, no question.”
He added, “People forget. When I first arrived and got results, everyone acted like it was no big deal. But it’s tough in that seat. I knew what I was walking into—I wasn’t there to beat one of the best.”
Like a lot of Verstappen’s teammates, Perez struggled to keep up. The real trouble started when the team rolled out upgrades designed for Verstappen’s style. Perez usually did best early in the year, when the car was heavier and felt more stable to him.
According to Perez, even when he did outpace Verstappen, it just made things worse. “Everything was a problem. If I were fast, it was a problem. If I were slower than Max, that was a problem too. Everything turned into an issue.”
He didn’t just complain, though. Perez said he learned to stop griping and just make the best of a tough situation—because, honestly, that’s all you really can do in his shoes.
ALERT: OSCAR PIASTRI EXPOSES GEORGE RUSSELL’S "ILLEGAL" UNO RULES DURING F1 TRAVEL
Oscar Piastri spills the beans on George Russell's "cheating" at UNO, his RC car past, and life as an F1 contender in Monaco.
Oscar Piastri, McLaren’s young driver, let slip that he, George Russell, and Alex Albon got pretty competitive with an “UNO World Championship” during their travel days between races in the 2025 Formula 1 season. Apparently, there was a lot of bending the rules—mostly thanks to George. Oscar laughed about it, admitting he’d never heard of half the rules George tried to use. “Family rules, apparently,” he joked.
During an interview on F1’s Off The Grid with Lawrence Barretto, Oscar talked about how those long-haul flights between races can get a bit weird. Sometimes you sleep, sometimes you just chat, but in this case, UNO took over. The game started as a way to kill time on the flight from Baku to Singapore, but it quickly turned into a full-blown championship.
Barretto asked if George’s rules gave him an unfair advantage. Oscar just grinned and nodded—of course they did. “We’re always competitive, all of us. It’s just how we are. But it’s always a good laugh.”
Oscar’s been wired for competition since he was a kid. Before he even thought about Formula 1, he was racing RC cars, just like Lewis Hamilton once did. “I’ve always been competitive. Started with RC cars, won a national championship at nine, then moved on to karting a year later,” he said.
These days, like a lot of drivers, Oscar lives in Monaco. Not just for the glam—though that helps—but because it’s actually practical for getting to races and hanging out with the other drivers. “It’s handy if you want to play padel or just do something different,” he said. “And yeah, it makes travelling to races a lot easier. We usually end up on the same flights anyway.”
After the races, Monaco offers a rare bit of downtime. “It’s nice to come back here when the racing’s over. It’s a bit more chilled out.”
Oscar’s career has taken off fast, and now he’s suddenly in the spotlight as a championship contender for 2025. The attention still throws him off sometimes. “It’s a bit strange,” he admitted. “At the track, you expect it. But sometimes you’re just in the supermarket, and someone comes up for a photo or an autograph, or even just to check if it’s actually you. It still feels weird.”
He’s hoping to keep the momentum going into 2026, building on everything he’s learned so far.
