Ok, thanks. So not a setup change but mechanical failure. Tough luck.

Scuttlebutt says it has something to do with plank wear - so they perhaps had to increase tyre pressure at the second stop to balance the plank wear so as to not get DQ - higher tyre pressure and ride height led to a loss in performance..

There was an issue with his chassis around 40 lap mark of the race that caused the loss of performance.

Lando passed due the pit strategy, being on a 1 stop. Oscar and George easily passed due to the Ferrari loss in performance

Nope 1:

Only you would think that he would hype a retirement announcement.

He's useless. Said so himself. Retirement is all that's left for him.

Nah, he needs to try the new regs next year for sure. He didn't join Ferrari to win in this year's car, that would be foolish.

If he's far behind by the end of next year then sure, call it a day.

He's got a few years left.

Thing is Hamilton is expensive for Ferrari and as a business ( and Italy as a whole ), there needs to be some return on investment there.

He's spirit seems broken looking at his last race's comments.

Maybe as a fashion model. He's done as a driver. He's lost the confidence and edge you need to drive at this level.

Puma's sales of Ferrari gear increased eightfold since he joined. I'd bet the investment in Lewis has been paid for mostly from Ferrari's cut of those sales alone.

Half the field should quit then. Considering the "lost confidence" he's still got plenty competitors who are worse in the standings.

He was cracked when a young Verstappen beat him in 2021 with a much slower car.
Then he totally lost the plot when he suddenly did not have the fastest car anymore.

One have to blame the fans and media for his depression. They made him believe that he is a GOAT, and not that he was just driving the fastest car for years.
