Seven-time world champion Ferrari's Hamilton still battling speculation
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'. BRITON FRUSTRATED: Current boss Fred Vasseur and former principal at Mercedes Toto Wolff saw that as just Hamilton being Hamilton, with the former saying the Briton was frustrated and not demotivated. 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.

Norris wins in Hungary to trim Piastri lead as McLaren reel off another 1-2
Lando Norris trimmed McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri's lead in the drivers' world championship to just nine points on Sunday when he switched tactics to lead him home by just 0.698 seconds in a thrilling finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The 25-year-old Briton, who moved from a two-stop strategy to one stop, held off series leader Piastri, on fresher tyres, over the closing laps of a strategic contest to claim McLaren's 200th victory and their record 13th win in Hungary. It was Norris's first win at the Hungaroring in the event's 40th race, avenging his 'team orders' defeat in 2024 when Piastri claimed his maiden success, his fifth victory of the season and the ninth of his career. The dominant McLaren pair finished 22 seconds clear of third-placed George Russell of Mercedes with pole sitter Charles Leclerc of Ferrari fourth, grumbling at the Italian team's poor planning after he slipped out of the leading position. 'I wasn't planning to do a one-stop,' said Norris. McLaren's Lando Norris celebrates on the podium with a trophy after winning the Hungarian Grand Prix in Hungaroring, Budapest, Hungary. Reuters 'But it was the only option to get back into things and it was tough. Oscar was pushing all the way.' Piastri said he had done all he could to triumph. 'It was great racing,' he said. 'Lando did a great job.' His drive brought McLaren their fourth consecutive 1-2 finish. Two-time champion Fernando Alonso came home fifth for Aston Martin ahead of Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto, Lance Stroll in the second Aston Martin, rookie Liam Lawson of Racing Bulls and frustrated four-time champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull. Mercedes' rookie Kimi Antonelli was 10th ahead of Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar with seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton 12th in the second Ferrari, 24 hours after declaring himself undeserving of their race seat. Heavy overnight rain had 're-set' the track on a breezy afternoon in front of a big crowd at the Hungaroring. The track temperature was only 31 degrees, encouraging thoughts of a one-stop race as tyre-wear decreased and Leclerc controlled the pace ahead of Piastri, Russell and Norris. Piastri pitted on lap 18, seeking an undercut. He returned in fifth as Leclerc responded to stay ahead. Norris inherited the lead and had a 10-second advantage, as the Monegasque regained second, with Piastri third. Lando Norris celebrates after winning the Hungarian Formula One Grand Prix race. AP He then chose to stay out until pitting, in just 1.9 seconds, for hards on lap 31, rejoining fourth and facing a long run home. At the front, Leclerc responded to an apparent 'bluff' call from McLaren and pitted, falling to fourth and gifting Piastri the lead ahead of a rapid Norris as the race dissolved into a strategy and tyre-management contest between the two McLarens. Norris revelled in his delayed one-stop tactic as Piastri made a second pit on lap 45, the Briton leading with a frustrated Ferrari second, Leclerc blaming his team for bungling his plan before being passed by Piastri around Turn One on lap 51. This left Norris, on ageing tyres, leading his team-mate in a classic scrap to the flag, negotiating traffic and separated by half a second over the final laps. On lap 68, the Australian went close to passing in Turn One and on lap 69, he locked up. 'Remember how we go racing,' Piastri's engineer Tom Stallard reminded him. For Leclerc, soon left a distant third by the two McLarens, it was another pole wasted - the 15th time he failed to convert pole into a win in 16 attempts - and it grew worse when Russell, after two attempts, passed him on lap 63.
