Hopefully I will be back – Lewis Hamilton dejected after Hungaroring nightmare
A dejected Lewis Hamilton said he will 'hopefully' return for Formula One's next race – after he cryptically claimed 'there is a lot going on in the background that is not great' following the Hungarian Grand Prix. A day after Hamilton described himself as 'absolutely useless', and called on his own Ferrari team to replace him, the seven-time world champion started 12th and finished in the same position at the Hungaroring, a lap behind winner Lando Norris. Charles Leclerc was fourth in the other Ferrari. Fronting up to TV cameras after the conclusion of the 14th race of his Ferrari career which has so far failed to live up to its pre-season hype, Hamilton was asked to reflect on his post-qualifying comments. 'When you have a feeling, you have a feeling,' he told Sky Sports. 'There is a lot going on in the background that is not great.' Asked if he had fallen out of love with racing, Hamilton replied: 'No, I still love the team.' Hamilton then headed for his session with the print media. Quizzed on how he felt a day on from being eliminated in Q2 – a performance made all the more harrowing after Leclerc took pole position, he replied: 'Same.' Put to him that his remarks suggesting that Ferrari 'need a new driver' would worry his fans, the British driver again replied: 'Same.' Asked if he had anything else to say other than 'the same', Hamilton said: 'I have got nothing else to say.' The sport now breaks for three weeks for its mid-season shutdown. The next race takes place in the Netherlands on August 31. 'Very much so,' said Hamilton, who was then asked if he was looking forward to the summer break. Quizzed as to whether he will definitely be driving at the next round in Zandvoort, Hamilton replied: 'I look forward to coming back… Hopefully I will be back, yeah.' Hamilton has won a record eight times at the Hungaroring but this has been an alarming weekend for the 40-year-old. Hamilton stood largely on his own for the drivers' parade, which takes place before every race, and was later accompanied by Italian rookie Kimi Antonelli. By the end of the first lap, he dropped behind Carlos Sainz and Antonelli and was 14th. At the end of the eighth lap, he was 20 seconds behind Leclerc, then leading, in the other Ferrari, and at the end of lap 14 he trailed his team-mate by half a minute. When he left the pits on lap 43 for his sole change of tyres, Hamilton was a lap down on the leaders. Hamilton fought back past Alpine's Pierre Gasly and then Sainz to cross the line in 12th. However, he is 42 points behind Leclerc, has been out-qualified by his team-mate at 10 of the 14 rounds, beaten him in only two races, at Imola and Silverstone, and is still awaiting his first podium in Ferrari colours. But Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, who oversaw six of Hamilton's record-equalling seven titles, said: 'Lewis is wearing his heart on his sleeve. 'It was very raw what he said. He was hard on himself. We have seen it before when he felt he had not met his own expectations. He's been that emotionally transparent since he was a young adult. 'But he is the GOAT. He will always be the GOAT. And nobody is going to take it away for any single weekends or a race season that hasn't gone to plan. That is something he always needs to remember – that he is the greatest of all time.' Hamilton's Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur added: 'I don't need to motivate him (Hamilton). He is frustrated but not demotivated, that is a different story. I can perfectly understand the situation.'

Red Bull reveals cause of Hungarian GP meltdown
Ninth place for Max Verstappen from eighth on the grid, and a lapped 18th for Yuki Tsunoda from a pitlane start, represented a crushing underperformance in Hungary for a team with Red Bull Racing's bulging trophy cabinet. Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko highlighted strategy as one of the elements that failed to work out for the team, but said fifth or sixth would still have been the best Verstappen could have expected in the Hungarian Grand Prix. 'One stop would have been better because the overtaking was really difficult,' he told reporters after the race. 'So maybe sixth or fifth, but the speed... it's just funny, two or three laps, he was doing the same laps as the leaders – but we believe we know what went wrong. "On the first stop the tyres were gone, and the second stop we thought we could overtake – but as we saw for a couple of laps, yes, the speed was there, but then it was over." Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing Max started eighth, lost a place to Liam Lawson on the opening lap, quickly regained it and then passed Lance Stroll for seventh with an opportunist move at Turn 6 on the third lap. But he was then stuck in the DRS train behind Gabriel Bortoleto's Sauber and Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin. During the race, Verstappen fulminated about the timing of his first stop at the end of lap 17, which put him out into traffic – but this was fundamentally because the queue that had formed behind Alonso, stretching all the way to Tsunoda in P19, began to splinter when Alonso stepped up his pace by around a second per lap. Some teams broke early for two-stop strategies, but the majority directed their drivers to extend their first stints with a view to stopping just once. Verstappen therefore became enmired behind drivers who were managing their pace on a track where it is historically challenging to overtake. Crucially, he was behind the other Sauber of Nico Hulkenberg, who had stopped early to get rid of the soft tyres on which he'd started. It took four laps to get by Hulkenberg – with another determined move into Turn 6 – then another two to pass Pierre Gasly's Alpine. Verstappen also spent five laps harrying Lewis Hamilton for 11th place, finally forcing his way past at Turn 4 with a move that earned him a referral to the stewards. By that point Verstappen had long since used up his new-tyre advantage, although he passed Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar for a net ninth place just before Hadjar broke for the pits. Max stopped again for more hard-compound Pirellis at the end of lap 48 and he emerged behind Lawson again – but this time he was unable to make a pass stick and crossed the finishing line ninth on the road.

But Marko claimed it was a tyre issue – or, more specifically, the mechanical and aerodynamic configuration of the car not working to bring the Pirellis into their optimum temperature 'window'. Both Verstappen and Tsunoda had complained throughout the weekend of lack of grip. 'The tyres didn't work," said Marko. 'I say it's only here, and I don't think it will happen again, if what we believe was the reason." When this contention was put to Verstappen himself, he was rather more sceptical. 'I don't know yet,' he said. 'It's a bit easy to say that, but we'll have a look.'

McLaren F1 CEO on Historic 200th Win in Hungary - 'Close to Perfect'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown has described the Hungarian Grand Prix as a race that "was as close to perfect as you can get," after Lando Norris secured his fifth victory of the season, followed by Oscar Piastri in P2. The race win marked McLaren's 200th Grand Prix victory. Brown lauded the team for its flawless pit stops, commendable race strategy, and some hard yet clean racing between the two McLaren drivers in the final laps of the race at the Hungaroring. Charles Leclerc started the race on pole position and maintained a strong lead. However, Norris's one-stop strategy took away Leclerc's lead when he pitted the second time. Soon after, the Ferrari driver's pace dropped significantly due to a problem with his SF-25's chassis. Despite starting from P3 and cruising with hard tires older than 30 laps, Norris maintained consistent lap times. However, Piastri's new set of hard compounds in the last leg of the race helped him cover the eight-odd-second gap to Norris. McLaren had given both its drivers the green signal to contend for the race win, but the instructions were clear that the fight had to be clean.

McLaren CEO Zak Brown looks on in parc ferme with delight during the F1 Grand Prix of Belgium at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps on July 27, 2025 in Spa, pushed as hard as he could in the last five laps, maintaining a gap of around half a second to Norris, who left no room for Piastri to pass. Eventually, Norris crossed the finish line first and closed the gap to his championship leader teammate to just 9 points. Speaking on the race that will stay on the minds of many, especially with the onset of the summer break, Brown stated that there could be no other way to end the first half of the 2025 season. He told Sky Sports F1: "Everyone will sleep well tonight - great way to go into the summer break. You're never perfect in a race but I think that was as close to perfect as you can get. "The drivers were awesome, pit stops amazing, strategy was great to get Lando up there, Oscar drove brilliantly. I couldn't be prouder of this racing team. "All under control. I had some good chats with Andrea [Stella] during the race, it was very exciting. It was a great Grand Prix. "With Lando's first lap, we weren't planning a one-stop strategy, we didn't know if we could but then it got to a point where let's try. Knew it would come down to the last five laps there and good to see them race very hard, very clean and they're both happy boys." Brown also addressed the difference in race strategies, pointing to Piastri's preference to race his teammate. He added: "We were talking to Oscar on the radio on if he wanted to race Lando or Charles. He wanted to race Lando which was understandable. "You just had two different strategies that converged and it couldn't have been closer. Oscar was faster at the end and just couldn't get by. "Unlike Silverstone when Oscar was obviously disappointed he didn't win, I think here he understands everyone gave it their best shot."
