Lewis Hamilton is remaining defiant and positive that Ferrari can end the 2025 season strongly despite a third double non-score in the Brazilian GP.
Hamilton retired in Sao Paulo after contact with Carlos Sainz and Franco Colapinto, whilst team-mate Charles Leclerc was taken out in the Oscar Piastri vs Kimi Antonelli incident at Turn 1 to add the Dutch GP and a double DSQ in China to Ferrari's troubled season.
The Scuderia remains without a grand prix victory 21 races into the season, and is 36 points behind Mercedes and just four behind Red Bull in third place.
The SF-25 has been battling ride height problems all season, with the team forced to raise the ride height to prevent plank wear, which caused Hamilton's disqualification in China.
Reflecting on the situation, Hamilton, who remains without a podium and has just three chances left to preserve his record of earning a podium finish in every season of his career, was firm that he and Ferrari will continue to deliver the maximum possible.
"We will come back fighting in the next races," Hamilton told media, including RacingNews365.
"There are still points on the table, and so that will be our mindset.
"I don't ever expect anything, [so for Las Vegas], we are just going to turn up and give absolutely everything."
Turning his attention to Ferrari's 2026 chances, Hamilton added that he was "keeping everything crossed" that the Scuderia could ace the new regulations.
"I never expect anything, except for us to just give our best always," he added.
"I know everyone is working as hard as they can in the background to make sure we start on the right foot next year.
"I have no idea where we will be, but I'm keeping everything crossed and hoping for the best."
