Despondent Hamilton and Ferrari crash back to earth
Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari crashed back to earth on Sunday when 24 hours after Charles Leclerc claimed the team's first pole of 2025 they left Hungary frustrated and dejected. Seven-time world champion Hamilton, who on Saturday said he was "completely useless" to the team and ready to be replaced, wound up 12th while Leclerc dropped from race leader to a grumbling fourth. Hamilton, backed beforehand by team boss Fred Vasseur, was in a bleak mood suggesting that he remained trapped by a crisis of confidence that has turned his spectacular marquee signing for Ferrari into a nightmare. "When you have a feeling, you have a feeling," he said enigmatically, responding to a question about his comment suggesting that he was no longer good enough for Ferrari and should be replaced. He added: "There's a lot going on in the background that isn't great." Asked if he still loved racing, he replied to say he did, but with little conviction. Leclerc appeared to be little happier after he had failed to convert pole into victory for the 15th time in 16 attempts during the last three years. His one success came in last year's Monaco Grand Prix, his home event. "We lost a podium, so I am very disappointed," said Leclerc, having warned the team during the race that they had bungled his car's set-up in some unspecified way. "But I spoke too quickly because being out of the car, I had a bit more detail about what went on," he added later. "I thought it was about something else that we had discussed, but unfortunately it was on the chassis. "There was an issue on that side and we will look into it for it not to happen again. It doesn't really make me feel any better because when you're fighting for a win, and then you have these kind of issues, it never happens. "We need to look into it to make sure it never happens again because the car was just undriveable. "It was around lap 40 because as soon as I started to struggle and to complain, it was basically when we started to have the issue and it got worse and worse. "It's very frustrating to have everything under control, to know that the pace is in the car to win, and then you end up being nowhere. We lost a podium.' Hamilton, 40, winner of a record eight Hungarian Grands Prix and a record nine poles at the circuit, finished where he started and with his worst result at the circuit, inevitably sparking talk of his possible retirement. But as he headed off towards a summer break, he could look at the joy in the Aston Martin garage where, despite a back muscle injury, his one-time McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso had finished a season's best fifth, aged 44. str/nr

Lionel Messi Exits Inter Miami's League Cup With Apparent Leg Injury
Lionel Messi limped out of Inter Miami's Leagues Cup match against Mexican club Necaxa after just 10 minutes on Saturday with an apparent leg injury. Messi was sent tumbling to the turf four minutes earlier, when he was involved in a collision with Necaxa defender Alexis Pena at the top of the visitors' penalty area at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. The living legend, who celebrated his 38th birthday last month, tried to continue. Messi needed to be treated by Miami's training staff on the pitch before walking slowly to the sideline and then to the Herons' dressing room. He was replaced by fellow Argentine Federico Redondo. Jordi Alba had the tying goal on a header that made it 2-2 in the second minute of stoppage time to force the shootout, which Inter Miami won 5-4. Inter Miami converted all five of its penalty kicks, and goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo denied Tomás Badaloni in the third round of the shootout. Suárez hit the winning shot into the top left corner. Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the match that Messi was not necessarily in pain but felt a pull. He indicated that Messi will be examined on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury. "There's probably something there," Mascherano said through an interpreter. Miami opened the scoring seconds after Messi exited, with Herons newcomer Rodrigo De Paul — Messi's teammate on Argentina's 2022 World Cup-winning squad — setting up Venezuelan attacker Talasco Segovia's blast from outside the box. It was De Paul's first assist for his new club. The night soon took another wrong turn for the hosts, though, as Inter defender Maximiliano Falcon was shown a straight red card in the 17th minute. Necaxa would capitalize on their man advantage by equalizing before the first half was finished. Inter Miami, the 2023 Leagues Cup champion, also won its 2025 competition opener 2-1 over Atlas last Wednesday. The Herons round out the first phase of the competition, which includes 18 MLS representatives and all 18 teams from Liga MX on Aug. 6 against UNAM Pumas.
