F1 CEO Backs Lewis Hamilton's Dream For Eighth Title Amid Hungary Disaster
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. Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali has backed Lewis Hamilton in his quest to win his eighth championship title, revealing that he will be back in strong form after the summer break. This statement arrives after the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, where a dejected Hamilton said that he was "useless" and that Ferrari should change the driver. The seven-time world champion was hugely upset after qualifying P12 for the race at the Hungaroring. The Grand Prix was no good either, as Hamilton didn't gain positions and finished in the same place he started, outside of the points. The Briton has been having a hard time adapting to the Ferrari SF-25 F1 car and achieving the kind of setup that suits him best. While there have been positive moments, such as the sprint race victory in China, and a best finish of P4 in Austria and Great Britain, the race in Hungary proved to be a major setback for him. When the media asked him after the race on Sunday if he would be back for the next race at Zandvoort, Hamilton said: Stefano Domenicali arrives in the paddock during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 3, 2025 in Northampton, United Kingdom. Stefano Domenicali arrives in the paddock during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 3, 2025 in Northampton, United Kingdom."I look forward to coming back... Hopefully I will be back, yeah." The "hopefully" in his statement raised many eyebrows, leading many to wonder if Hamilton was planning on ending his career. However, the reassurance from him that he still loves racing offered some hope. Domenicali, who has led Ferrari in the past, praised Hamilton and confirmed his faith that he will come back stronger after the summer break. He told Sky Sports F1: "Lewis is a jewel, an incredible athlete. So no matter if it is a difficult moment, he will react, and I am pretty sure he will show the reason why he is here. "He wants to achieve his 8th title, and he will triumph again. So stay with Lewis and he will do a great race, and be very, very strong after the summer season."

The team boss said: "I don't need to motivate him. Honestly, he's frustrated, but not demotivated. You know, it's a completely different story. I can perfectly understand the 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, I'm not sure that it would be much better. "They are in the performance, and sometimes they are making comments, even when they jump out of the car. I can understand the frustration, but we are all frustrated. And sometimes if you ask me, I can't say this, I will go to the stewards [for swearing]! "But sometimes just after the race or just after the quali [qualifying], you are very disappointed and the first reaction is harsh. But we all know that we are pushing in the same direction."

Former F1 CEO Asks Lewis Hamilton to Consider Retirement, Names Replacement
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Former Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone has advised Lewis Hamilton to retire from F1, as he has been racing "forever" and he must now get used to "doing other stuff away from motor racing." Ecclestone also named drivers he would consider as Hamilton's replacement at Ferrari. As F1 enjoys the summer break, one of the highlights from last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix was Hamilton, who started the race in P12 and finished in the same position. The seven-time world champion seemed very low after being knocked out in Q2 during the qualifying session, even going to the point of stating later that he was "useless" and that Ferrari should look for another driver. Since his move to the Maranello-based team early this year, Hamilton has struggled to adapt to his SF-25 F1 car. He has yet to secure a podium finish this season, while his teammate Charles Leclerc has been on the podium five times in the last 14 rounds, with his best finish being P2 in Monaco. Ecclestone believes Hamilton is now tired, given his long stint in the world of motorsports, and has thus advised the Briton to pursue a different path. He told the Daily Mail: Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari speaks in the media pen during the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari speaks in the media pen during the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary."Lewis is very talented, was and probably still is. But like a lot of leading sports personalities, when they reach the top, there is only one way to go, and it's not a good direction. It's only down. "They get tired. 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. He may not think it, but he will soon get used to doing other stuff away from motor racing in retirement. I think he should have done it a while ago." Hamilton reportedly signed a deal with Ferrari that lasts until the end of 2027. Despite his dream of winning his eighth championship with Ferrari, Ecclestone believes Hamilton should take his three-season Ferrari payment and make way for another driver. He added: "The guy is not a cheat. But he would be cheating himself if he goes on. He should stop now. If I were looking after him, I would negotiate with Ferrari immediately and say, 'If you have someone to replace Lewis, he'll step aside'. "If I were Lewis, I would say to Ferrari that I wanted to be paid all my contract, in full. They signed him because they thought he could do a job. 'It isn't working, so I can make way if you want me to, but that's the arrangement'. It could work for both parties." Ecclestone then named rookie drivers Isack Hadjar and Gabriel Bortoleto as potential replacements for Hamilton, given their performance in 2025 thus far. The 94-year-old former F1 boss said: "If I could steal him, I'd take Isack Hadjar from Racing Bulls. He has done super well in his first year and is a great guy. I also rate our friend from Brazil (Bortoleto). He is talented. Both of them are sensible, too."
