Lewis Hamilton reveals internal Ferrari F1 turmoil
Following the Hungarian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton expressed concerns about his future at Ferrari, particularly after qualifying 12th and describing himself as ‘useless’.
The seven-time champion is currently sixth in the drivers’ championship standings, yet has not secured a podium finish with Ferrari while his teammate, Charles Leclerc, has claimed five podiums in 2025.
Despite a disappointing race in Hungary, Hamilton remained pessimistic during a post-race interview, even stating he doesn’t remember an incident with Max Verstappen.
Amid speculation about his possible removal from the team, Hamilton affirmed his love for racing but hinted at underlying issues affecting his performance.
While opinions differ on Hamilton’s future, team principal Fred Vasseur has received a contract extension, indicating Ferrari’s desire for stability and potentially retaining the champion for the 2026 season.
