Humiliation leads to Hamilton’s emotional breakdown

[Saba Sports News] In the qualifying session of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton, who drives for Ferrari, was eliminated in Q2, marking the first time in 11 years he failed to qualify for Q3 in Hungary. After the race, Hamilton seemed to have an emotional breakdown, publicly asking the team to change drivers. In yesterday’s Hungarian Grand Prix qualifying session, Hamilton performed poorly and missed Q3, while his teammate Charles Leclerc took pole position. The same car, one with pole position and the other eliminated in Q2 – such results were a big blow to Hamilton. After the race, the British veteran was still in a low mood. When asked why he said “it’s always like this” in the TR (team radio), Hamilton said he wasn’t complaining about the team, but about himself: “Oh, I was talking about myself. It’s always me who’s the problem.” When seven-time champion Hamilton publicly said these words in front of the media after the Hungarian qualifying session, the pit lane fell silent. This legendary driver, who had previously won nine poles and eight races at the Hungarian circuit, had just experienced the first time since 2014 that he didn’t make it to Q3 here. Just a few meters away, his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc was celebrating his first pole position of the season with the team.
