Lewis Hamilton stunned the media with his self-critical comments after Hungarian GP qualifying in what became a “difficult watch”, according to Martin Brundle.
Former F1 driver Martin Brundle expressed a desire for a “rewind” to the post-qualifying moment at the Hungarian Grand Prix to prevent Lewis Hamilton from calling himself “useless.” Hamilton, a seven-time F1 champion, publicly criticized his performance, suggesting Ferrari should acquire a new driver. Despite his history of securing pole positions at the Hungaroring, Hamilton was eliminated in Q2, starting 12th on the grid while his teammate Charles Leclerc claimed pole position. Hamilton’s self-criticism and negative remarks to Sky F1 were seen as unprecedented for the seasoned driver. Brundle sympathized with Hamilton’s dejection and wished the sharp comments could be taken back to spare him lingering negative effects, particularly with Ferrari teammate Leclerc’s success compounding the disappointment.
