Disaster in Texas: Lewis Hamilton Crashes Out on Lap 3 at United States Grand Prix




Lewis Hamilton's weekend in Texas came to a crushing halt after he suffered a dramatic crash on the third lap of the United States Grand Prix. What began as a race filled with hope quickly spiraled into disappointment as the seven-time world champion saw his car careen off the track, ending his race far earlier than anyone expected.


Hamilton, who had already endured a tough weekend at the Circuit of the Americas, struggled from the start. After losing several positions in the opening laps, things went from bad to worse when he lost control of his Mercedes in a high-speed section of the track, sending him straight into the barriers. The impact was hard, and while Hamilton emerged unscathed, his hopes of salvaging anything from the weekend were shattered.


“I'm gutted,” Hamilton said, speaking to reporters after the crash. “We were pushing hard to make something out of a difficult weekend, but it just wasn’t meant to be today. I’m fine physically, but mentally, it’s tough to take.”


The incident capped off a miserable few days for Hamilton, who had been off the pace in practice and qualifying. Despite his reputation for bouncing back, this early exit from the race dealt a heavy blow to his season, particularly in the context of the championship battle, where every point matters.


As the dust settles on this nightmare weekend, questions are being raised about Mercedes' struggles and whether they can give Hamilton the car he needs to compete at the highest level. Meanwhile, Hamilton will be left wondering what might have been had luck been on his side in Texas.


With only a handful of races left this season, time is running out for Hamilton to find redemption and end the year on a high note.
