Lewis Hamilton has taken to his Instagram page to vent about his unsatisfactory Ferrari driving debut.
Since his disqualification from the Chinese Grand Prix, the British driver, who has nearly 40 million Instagram followers, has been active on the social networking site. However, instead of releasing a statement regarding the disqualification, he has been promoting an iconic cover pose for the new EASports title F125.
Only a sprint race victory has provided Hamilton a decent points total after his terrible Sunday in Shanghai, which leaves him with just one point from his first two big races with the Scuderia.
Following the Chinese Grand Prix, the 40-year-old was punished for having excessive wear on his skid blocks, while teammate Charles Leclerc was also disqualified for having an underweight car according to FIA inspections. As a result, the two lost their respective fifth and sixth-place finishes.
Hamilton’s nightmare Ferrari start
Hamilton joined the Scuderia at the start of the year, in the hope of challenging for a record-breaking eighth world championship title once again.
While his performances on track so far have looked a long way off being able to challenge the likes of Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, the social media opportunities presented by the partnering of the most successful driver in history with the most iconic team on the grid have been well exploited.
Earlier this week, EASports looked to be taking full advantage of Hamilton’s iconic move to the red team, revealing him as their cover driver for the upcoming F125 game, in a post that has received 1.1 million likes on the platform.
Now, a video has been released showing gameplay footage from the new video game, also showing Hamilton playing the game in his living room. The post also revealed the game’s release date, May 30.
Hamilton posted the video to his story, saying: “This story is yours,” as the seven-time champion looks to create a more positive narrative around his Ferrari move before the Japanese Grand Prix next weekend.
