While Lewis Hamilton is not retiring, he and Ferrari did perhaps “underestimate” the challenge of his adaptation. That is the concession made by Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur, with Hamilton having hit a new mental low at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Talk of a retirement announcement, however, has since been put to bed.

Hamilton qualified in 12th place, being dumped out in Q2 while Leclerc got himself on pole. After the session, the Brit described himself as 'useless' and even suggested that Ferrari should replace him with another driver. In the race, he failed to make up any positions in the race and was lapped for the first time in three years.
