While Lewis Hamilton is not retiring, he and Ferrari did perhaps “underestimate” the challenge of his adaptation. That is the concession made by Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur, with Hamilton having hit a new mental low at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Talk of a retirement announcement, however, has since been put to bed.

When it comes to F1 team-mate head-to-heads Lewis Hamilton has been on a poor run of form compared to Charles Leclerc in 2025. The Monegasque driver has outperformed his team-mate on 10 occasions in qualifying this year, with Leclerc also boasting five podiums in comparison to Hamilton, who is yet to achieve a result better than P4 with Ferrari.
