F1: Ferrari’s Hamilton Says ‘I’m Useless’ After Hungarian GP Qualifying Flop
HUNGARY, AUG 3 – Hamilton described himself as "useless" after qualifying 12th at the Hungarian Grand Prix, with teammate Charles Leclerc taking pole, highlighting struggles despite Ferrari upgrades this season.
- On Sunday at the Hungarian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton called himself “useless” and told Ferrari to “CHANGE driver” after qualifying P12.
- Ferrari's design flaws with the rear suspension and gearbox casing caused issues, and Hamilton's Q2 exit was due to his own mistake.
- In the paddock, Fred Vasseur said he didn’t need to motivate Hamilton, who is frustrated but not demotivated, while Leclerc secured pole in the same Ferrari.
- With the season pausing for three weeks, Hamilton said he will “hopefully” return for Formula One’s next race on August 31, 2025.
- Ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix, Hamilton believes Ferrari’s upgrades are “definitely working” and that the team is “taking steps forward” ahead of 2026 regulations.
