Lewis Hamilton has a considerably successful qualifying session at the Azerbaijan GP. Finishing P5 with a still struggling Mercedes, he out-qualified his teammate who sits in P11. However, there is still a battle to be won before Sunday’s race, and Hamilton was spotted burning the midnight oil.
In a post shared on Twitter, Hamilton sits “up late” possibly on the grind for Sprint Saturday. However, fans couldn’t help but pick apart the picture, while others praised the champion for his dedication.
Lewis Hamilton roasted over his recent post
Most fans were sure the driver was far from being productive. One fan assumed the lover boy was “scrolling through Juliana Nalu’s [his rumored girlfriend] Instagram”; while another fan mused he was on the popular dating app, Hinge.
Prob scrolling through @juliananalu's pics on instagram😅.

Other fans took their guess wondering which video game the gamer boy was killing his time on.

Some eagle-eyed fans couldn’t miss the Hoover sitting beside the F1 driver. While some joked that Hamilton stayed back to vacuum the place, others could only imagine him posing for the person cleaning up. Both narratives equally hilarious.

One fan even brought up the much awaited Charles Leclerc ft. XNDA collab. As Leclerc released his music for the world, heads turned to Hamilton who has only been a tease all these years.

Hamilton worried about Mercedes performance
Lewis Hamilton acknowledges that there is still significant work to be done to address the issues with the W14, following the team’s concerning time losses during Azerbaijan GP qualifying down the straights.
Although major changes to the W14 are expected to be implemented at Imola, Mercedes arrived in Baku with a new front and rear endplate, rear corner, and a new front suspension. However, it appears that these adjustments have not brought the team any closer to the front of the pack.

In fact, the opposite seems to be the case, with Hamilton barely making it through to Q3 and George Russell failing to clear that hurdle. This is a worrying sign for the team. Worried, Hamilton explained, “We’ve got a lot of work to do to rectify that in the car, it’s not the easiest one to drive.”
Regardless, he’s more than pleased to be in the third row, starting the race beside Fernando Alonso on Sunday. As Mercedes continues to look for solutions, here’s hoping Hamilton can pull off a miracle in Baku.
