Lewis Hamilton only drives behind in Ferrari. After qualifying at the Grand Prix of Hungary, the seven -time world champion becomes clear – towards himself.
After qualifying, Hamilton was thoughtful-and went to court with himself: “It is always up to me. I am useless,” said Hamilton with Sky and letting thoughts over his future: “The team is good, the car is on Pole-the team probably has to switch to the driver,” said the completely frustrated coordinated world champion, who was able to win eight times on the Hungaroring.
After all: Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur, who had led his former pupil Hamilton to Maranello (contract until the end of 2026), wanted to smooth the waves. “At the beginning of qualifying” was Hamilton “ahead of Charles”, who also “had to fight” to achieve the decisive third qualifying section, commented the Frenchman.
Sky expert Ralf Schumacher later said in the broadcast that he could well imagine that Hamilton is thinking. “Yes, that is a tendency that is very, very quickly. Personally, it was like that.
As a reminder: Although Schumacher had another year with the DTM team from Mercedes, he decided to end his active racing career prematurely due to the lack of results in March 2013.
He trusts Hamilton “that he can and will do it. Because that is such a bitter disappointment and he no longer knows forward and backwards. Of course not immediately, but this can always happen.” It is still unclear how things will continue for Hamilton at Ferrari. One thing is clear: the former series winner is currently doing the hardest season of his career.
