Hamilton's Frustration Peaks at Hungarian GP: Calls for Ferrari Driver Shakeup

Lewis Hamilton expresses deep frustration after a challenging qualifying at the Hungarian GP, hinting at possible driver changes within Ferrari.

Lewis Hamilton's recent performance at the Hungarian Grand Prix has sparked discussions about his future with Ferrari. After a particularly tough qualifying session, where he failed to advance beyond the second knockout stage, Hamilton openly expressed his dissatisfaction with his current form.

"I'm useless, absolutely useless," Hamilton candidly admitted in an interview with Sky Sports. This stark admission came in the wake of his teammate Charles Leclerc securing pole position for the upcoming race, highlighting a stark contrast in their performances.

Hamilton suggested that Ferrari might need to reconsider their driver lineup, stating, "It's not their [Ferrari's] problem; the other car is on pole, so they probably need to change driver." This comment has fueled speculation about potential changes within the team, as Ferrari looks to optimize their strategy for future races.

As the F1 season progresses, all eyes will be on Ferrari's next moves and how Hamilton plans to overcome his current challenges. The dynamics within the team could shift significantly, impacting the competitive landscape of the sport.
