After a 12th-place finish in Sunday’s (Aug. 3) Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton had some strong words to share in his assessment of himself. The seven-time champion went as far as to say that Ferrari ought to change drivers after a disappointing weekend where his teammate, Charles Leclerc, took the pole and finished fourth.
Alex Gintz and Tom Blackburn sit down to dive into Hamilton’s time with Ferrari so far as well as his future with the team. Likewise, they take a stab at defining how this year may be impacting Hamilton psychologically and if continuing in F1 is in his best interest.
