Lewis Hamilton painted a negative picture in Hungary, with his comments having been criticised by Guenther Steiner.
Former Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner criticized Lewis Hamilton for calling himself “useless” in Hungary, stating it shows an “attitude of giving up.” Hamilton had a disappointing Hungarian Grand Prix, where he was eliminated in Q2 and finished 12th in the race. Despite holding records for pole positions and victories at the venue, Hamilton publicly expressed his frustration, suggesting Ferrari needed a new driver and describing himself as “useless.” Steiner believed Hamilton’s negative attitude was not befitting of a seven-time world champion, noting that while he may be struggling, openly degrading himself was not the right approach. Steiner emphasized the importance of confidence and hard work, urging Hamilton to focus on his strengths as a world-class driver rather than dwell on self-deprecation.
