Hamilton Calls Ferrari Driver Change After Poor Hungarian GP Qualifying

Lewis Hamilton endured a disappointing qualifying session at the 2025 Hungarian Grand Prix, failing to advance past Q2 and starting 12th on the grid, while his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc secured a shock pole position. Frustrated with his performance, Hamilton suggested in multiple interviews that Ferrari might need to replace him, stating, "It's me every time. I'm useless, absolutely useless," and emphasizing that the team and car were not at fault. Despite Hamilton's struggles, Leclerc's pole marked a significant achievement for Ferrari and came as a surprise after McLaren dominated earlier sessions. Hamilton has not reached the final qualifying segment in three consecutive races and trails Leclerc in qualifying head-to-heads for the season. Known for his past success at the Hungaroring with eight wins and nine poles, Hamilton's recent form has been poor, with only a sprint race victory in China as a highlight since joining Ferrari. His comments reflect growing frustration amid a challenging 2025 campaign, contrasting sharply with Leclerc's strong performances and Ferrari's progress.
