Leclerc Takes Pole, Hamilton 12th at Hungarian GP

Lewis Hamilton described himself as 'useless' after qualifying 12th for the Hungarian Grand Prix, his worst result at the Hungaroring since 2014, while his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc claimed Ferrari's first pole position of the year. Hamilton, who joined Ferrari from Mercedes, struggled to adapt and failed to advance beyond Q2, attributing his performance issues to himself rather than the car. Leclerc's strong form continues, further highlighting Hamilton's difficulties as he trails his teammate in qualifying this season. Despite congratulating Leclerc and Ferrari, Hamilton admitted the season has been extremely challenging as he works to integrate into the new team. The contrast between Hamilton's tough qualifying sessions and Leclerc's consistent podiums remains a focal point of Ferrari's 2025 campaign. The result adds pressure on Hamilton to improve as the season progresses.
