Hamilton casts doubt over future in F1 after poor finish for Ferrari in Hungary
Guardian5 days
Hamilton's struggles reflect the natural challenges of adapting to a new team and car philosophy at Ferrari. The gap to Leclerc was minimal in qualifying sessions, with Hamilton missing Q3 by just milliseconds. Ferrari's recent upgrades show promise, and Hamilton's emotional transparency demonstrates his commitment to excellence rather than decline.
Hamilton's performance raises serious questions about his ability to compete at the highest level in his 40s. Former drivers like Ralf Schumacher see parallels to their own retirement decisions when they could no longer match younger teammates. The consistent gap to Leclerc and lack of podium finishes suggest Hamilton may be past his prime.
