[Saba Sports News] A comment from F1 commentator Karen Chandhok triggered a storm on social media. This former F1 driver did not hold back in naming Lewis Hamilton as the worst-performing driver at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on a show, stating that his qualifying lap was 0.6 seconds slower than his teammate and he lost a shocking 31 seconds in the race, which was inexplicable. Technical data showed that Hamilton lost 73% of his total time in high-speed corners, with oversteer problems causing him to be 0.3 seconds slower than Charles Leclerc in each S-corner segment on average. After this statement, millions of Hamilton fans worldwide immediately went berserk, sparking a collective backlash against Chandhok on social media. Hamilton, currently embroiled in a difficult period of his career, is experiencing the darkest moments of his career after a fleeting victory in the China Grand Priix. His despairing statement after the Jeddah circuit collapse, revealing he “needs a brain transplant to drive the car,” broke the hearts of his fans. Sources inside the team disclosed that after the Saudi Arabian GP, this British driver shed tears alone in the garage for 20 minutes.
