Lewis Hamilton It doesn't raise his head. “I am useless “,” I have been shit all the time ” o “You have to forget this and get up” They were some of the messages that the world's heptacampeon launched during the last weekend in Hungary. All the illusion that was when his signing of Ferrari was announced is hitting a very hard reality.
Despite the victory in the China Sprint at the beginning of the season, the most laureate pilot's journey of all time in Maranello is being a journey through the desert that nobody expected. With that of Budapest, There are already 14 races without stepping on the podium for Hamilton. Not once we have been seasonal.
Reviewing the negative records in Ferrari, the British matches the second worst premiere in Ferrari matching the 14 races without podium of Ivan hair. There is only one name with a worse record: Didier Pironi, who stayed out of the podium in 18 races.
The worst for Hamilton is the comparison with Leclerc. While Monegasco achieve pole in Hungary, English failed to pass the cut of Q2. And it is Charles who has achieved five podiums so far this year for the zero Lewis trophies. Hamilton himself admits that the problem is more of his than the car.
No Hungary served
Since 2007, the year of his debut, Hamilton had always finished in the top six at least in Hungary. Only abandoned in the 2010 edition. In addition, He managed to add eight victories and 12 podiums in total in Budapest. Not to forget its 9 poles in the Hungarian circuit. They are numbers that nobody else can boast throughout history.
Despite these records, not one of Lewis's gardens saved him from a season to forget and left his favorite circuit with empty hands. In the World Cup it is sixth in the general classification in the absence of 10 races for the end and Leclerc already takes 42 points.
Now, with four weeks of summer holiday break, Hamilton has the opportunity to make a 'reset' for a second half of the championship that will not be simple. Let us remember that The teams already focus on the new regulation of 2026 And, therefore, there will be no great news in the cars of this campaign. Thus, Hamilton has to row with a car with which he has no sensations. One of the great challenges for a champion who had never had such low morals. We will see how it comes out of this.
