Charles Leclerc reckons Lewis Hamilton’s dire Hungarian GP weekend will prove to be an outlier as he tipped his Ferrari F1 team-mate to bounce back.
Charles Leclerc believes that Lewis Hamilton’s difficult weekend at the Hungarian Grand Prix was an exception and expects his Ferrari teammate to make a strong comeback. Despite Hamilton struggling recently, Leclerc acknowledges that Hamilton had been closing the gap between them before the summer break. Hamilton’s disappointing performance in Hungary, where he qualified outside the top 10, was in stark contrast to Leclerc’s unexpected pole position.
Additionally, Ferrari’s struggles continued in the race, with Hamilton unable to advance and a chassis issue affecting Leclerc’s chances of victory. Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur noted that Hamilton was closer to Leclerc’s pace than the qualifying results suggested. Vasseur expressed confidence in Hamilton’s abilities and highlighted his strong performances earlier in the season. Overall, both Leclerc and Vasseur believe that Hamilton will bounce back and be competitive in the upcoming races.
