Lewis ‘frustrated – not demotivated'
Formula One's August break will be a welcome getaway for Lewis Hamilton after he triggered fresh speculation about his Ferrari future with self-critical and cryptic comments in Hungary at the weekend. The most successful Formula One driver of all time, with seven world championships and a record 105 wins, has had a tough start to his time at Maranello and has yet to stand on the podium in 14 races. The 40-year-old Briton has also been sending out conflicting messages, his season a roller-coaster of highs and lows – downbeat assessments and despondency followed by peaks of elation and hope. In Canada in June he assured reporters he was at Ferrari for the long term. 'To everyone writing stories of me considering not racing – I literally only just started here with Ferrari,' he said at the time. 'There's no question where my head's at and what I'm working towards achieving with this team. So, there's zero doubts. Please stop making stuff up.' At the Hungaroring last Saturday, after qualifying 12th, he described himself as 'useless' and suggested Ferrari might want to replace him. Post-race, also 12th, Hamilton said there was a lot going on in the background – without explaining – and he looked forward to returning after the break – 'hopefully'. Current boss Fred Vasseur and principal at Mercedes Toto Wolff saw that as just Hamilton being Hamilton, with the former saying the Briton was frustrated and not demotivated. His former boss Wolff said Hamilton had always worn his heart on his sleeve, beating himself up about his performances. With Mercedes in Brazil last year he hinted in a radio message that he might not finish the season, saying later that in the moment he had not wanted to continue. There are legitimate doubts about whether Hamilton can achieve what he wants – the unfinished business of a record eighth title – at Ferrari. He has not won a race for more than a year, not started on pole for more than two, and is enduring the worst podium drought of his stellar career with 16 successive races outside the top three. Sunday was his lowest career finish in Hungary, a circuit where he has triumphed a record eight times and taken nine poles. Teammate Charles Leclerc has been on the podium five times this season and started on pole on Sunday. The Briton won a Shanghai sprint from pole in March but has been out-qualified 10-4 by Leclerc and beaten 11-2 in races, with both disqualified in China. Last season, Hamilton was out-qualified 18-6 by Mercedes teammate George Russell and was beaten 15-9, although they ended up with two wins apiece. The rules are changing next year, the start also of a new engine era, and Hamilton has already said this season is all about settling in before a proper challenge in 2026. 'Lewis has unfinished business in F1,' said Wolff. 'You ask me whether he has it, he definitely has it.' Some others are questioning how much longer he should continue. 'Sad to see Sir Lewis so downhearted. It's tough to know when it's time. Another year? It gets harder. Maybe a good holiday is needed?,' commented 1996 champion and compatriot Damon Hill on X. 'Lewis is tired. He's been doing what he is doing forever. He needs a rest from it for good, a total reset to do something completely different,' former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone told the Daily Mail.

Despondent Hamilton and Ferrari crash back to earth
Lewis Hamilton received sup‑ port from his Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur on Sunday just hours after the Briton cut a dejected figure following a lacklustre drive to 12th place in the Hungarian Grand Prix. While team‑mate Charles Le‑ clerc proved unable to convert Ferrari's first pole position of the season into victory due to unexplained mechanical prob‑ lems during the race, seven‑time champion Hamilton was bat‑ tling to escape midfield and fin‑ ished where he started. As on Saturday, when he was dumped out of Q2 and ap‑ peared miserable, claiming he was 'completely useless' and saying the team should 'bring in another driver', Hamilton seemed utterly deflated. To most observers, it appeared as if the pressures of living up to the hype of his spectacular marquee move from Mercedes, where he won six titles, and ad‑ justing to the culture, car and expectations at Ferrari were overwhelming him. At 40, talk of imminent retire‑ ment circled around him. But Vasseur was swift to de‑ fend Hamilton, who has always been prone to impulsive heart‑ on‑sleeve reactions. 'I don't need to motivate him,' said Vasseur. 'Honestly, he's frustrated, but not demotivated. 'He's demanding, but I think it's also why he's (a) seven‑time world champion. I can perfectly understand this situation. 'Sometimes, you are making comments on what the driver is saying (in) the car, but if you put the microphone on some other sportsmen, in football and so on, I'm not sure that it would be much better. 'Sometimes, just after the race or just after qualifying, you are very disappointed and the first reaction is harsh. I can understand the frustration, but we are all frustrated.' 'He will be back' Vasseur added Hamilton's weekend appeared worse than it really was because of the tight and competitive times that led him to miss out on reaching Q3 on Saturday. 'For sure, when you are a seven‑time world champion, your team‑mate is on pole posi‑ tion and you are out in Q2, it's a tough situation,' he said. 'But overall, we can also have a deep look that he was in front of Charles in Q1 and with the first set that he was one‑tenth off in Q2. We were not far away from having the two cars out in Q2. 'I can understand the frustra‑ tion from Lewis. That's normal and he will come back. He was stuck in a DRS train, but when he was alone, the pace was good. 'I'm sure that he will be back and he will perform.' Fourth‑placed Leclerc backed his team‑mate. 'At the end, we are one team and as much as I want to finish in front of Lewis, I want both of us to be successful and for Ferrari to be successful, and ob‑ viously this weekend has been a tough one for Lewis,' Leclerc said. 'But I have no doubt that it's a one‑off and I'm sure the second part of the season will be a lot more positive.' Hamilton, sixth in the driv‑ ers' standings, but without a podium for Ferrari this year, said he was looking forward to a much‑needed 'break from work' during F1's August hol‑ iday before the Dutch Grand Prix on the final weekend of this month.

Antonelli paying price for ‘wrong steps' by Mercedes
Mercedes have made mistakes in developing their Formula One car and teenage Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli's struggles are a consequence of that, according to technical director James Allison. Antonelli, 18, finished third in Canada in June for his first F1 podium but has since failed to score. He has had two retirements since Montreal as well as 17th in a sprint race in Belgium last Saturday and then 16th in Sunday's main grand prix. The Italian, who took a sprint pole in Miami and is the sport's youngest ever race leader, has retired four times in the last seven rounds and admitted in Belgium he was lacking confidence in the car and not driving as he would like. 'I think he's, like the rest of us, massively fed up with a string of results that are well below what we were collectively achieving earlier in the year,' Allison said in an interview. 'I hope he takes some solace from the fact that we tell him, and it's demonstrably a fact, that we have taken the wrong steps with the car, making our team less competitive, and that he is paying the price for that, as is George (Russell). 'If the car isn't where it needs to be, then it will be a struggle getting through the qualifying stages in your rookie season in F1.' Allison said it was 'utterly clear' to everyone that the car needed to be better and Antonelli's fortunes would improve when it was. 'Hopefully he's listening to us as we say those reassuring words because we absolutely know that he is putting in the effort on his side of that bargain,' he added. Mercedes are third overall, 28 points behind second-placed Ferrari, with one win by Russell in Canada. Russell has been on the podium five times and is fourth overall with 157 points to Antonelli's 63. Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, whose seat Antonelli took when the Briton moved to Ferrari, showed his support for the Italian after Saturday qualifying at Spa. 'He was telling me to keep my head up, and that it's normal to have bad weekends, and to just keep believing,' the Italian told reporters. Hamilton told Sky Sports television he could not imagine what the rookie was going through. 'He's been doing fantastic. But to be thrown in at the deep end at 18... he hadn't even had his driving licence when he first started racing,' he said.
