Lewis Hamilton failed to finish on the podium in 2025, the first time that has happened to him in 19 seasons of Formula 1

Lewis Hamilton said after the final race of what has been an annus horribilis for him at Ferrari that he wanted to shut off from the world over the winter.

"I'm already looking forward just to the break, just to disconnecting, not speaking to anyone," the seven-time champion said, after the worst season of his career.

"No one's going to be able to get hold of me this winter. I won't have my phone with me and I'm looking forward to that. Just completely unplugged from the matrix.

"I've generally always had it around, but this time it's going in the fricking bin."
