F1 CEO Backs Lewis Hamilton's Dream For Eighth Title Amid Hungary Disaster
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali has backed Lewis Hamilton in his quest to win his eighth championship title, revealing that he will be back in strong form after the summer break. This statement arrives after the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend, where a dejected Hamilton said that he was "useless" and that Ferrari should change the driver. The seven-time world champion was hugely upset after qualifying P12 for the race at the Hungaroring. The Grand Prix was no good either, as Hamilton didn't gain positions and finished in the same place he started, outside of the points. The Briton has been having a hard time adapting to the Ferrari SF-25 F1 car and achieving the kind of setup that suits him best. While there have been positive moments, such as the sprint race victory in China, and a best finish of P4 in Austria and Great Britain, the race in Hungary proved to be a major setback for him. When the media asked him after the race on Sunday if he would be back for the next race at Zandvoort, Hamilton said: Stefano Domenicali arrives in the paddock during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 3, 2025 in Northampton, United Kingdom. Stefano Domenicali arrives in the paddock during previews ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Great Britain at Silverstone Circuit on July 3, 2025 in Northampton, United Kingdom."I look forward to coming back... Hopefully I will be back, yeah." The "hopefully" in his statement raised many eyebrows, leading many to wonder if Hamilton was planning on ending his career. However, the reassurance from him that he still loves racing offered some hope. Domenicali, who has led Ferrari in the past, praised Hamilton and confirmed his faith that he will come back stronger after the summer break. He told Sky Sports F1: "Lewis is a jewel, an incredible athlete. So no matter if it is a difficult moment, he will react, and I am pretty sure he will show the reason why he is here. "He wants to achieve his 8th title, and he will triumph again. So stay with Lewis and he will do a great race, and be very, very strong after the summer season."

The team boss said: "I don't need to motivate him. Honestly, he's frustrated, but not demotivated. You know, it's a completely different story. I can perfectly understand the situation. Sometimes you are making comments on what the driver is saying in the car, but if you put the microphone on some other sportsmen in football and so, I'm not sure that it would be much better. "They are in the performance, and sometimes they are making comments, even when they jump out of the car. I can understand the frustration, but we are all frustrated. And sometimes if you ask me, I can't say this, I will go to the stewards [for swearing]! "But sometimes just after the race or just after the quali [qualifying], you are very disappointed and the first reaction is harsh. But we all know that we are pushing in the same direction."

F1 Insider Concerned About Lewis Hamilton's Future at Ferrari after Hungarian GP
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Former Formula One driver and Sky Sports F1 reporter Martin Brundle has shared his concern about the future of Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari. Given the seven-time world champion's struggles since his Ferrari move early this year, Brundle stated he couldn't see Hamilton endure two more seasons if the situation were to continue this way. Apart from his Chinese Grand Prix sprint race victory, Hamilton has for the most part been outperformed by his teammate Charles Leclerc. While the factor of adapting to his SF-25 F1 car could be taken into consideration, last weekend's race at the Hungaroring reached a new low in his Ferrari career. Hamilton was knocked out of Q2 in the qualifying session, leading him to start the race from P12. On race day, Hamilton was unable to recover positions, and he finished the race in the same position as he started. An incident involving Max Verstappen also occurred during the race at the Hungaroring, after the four-time world champion nearly pushed Hamilton off the track. While Verstappen was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing by the FIA, Hamilton appeared so dejected after the race that he didn't even attend the stewards' enquiry. Twelfth placed Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari in parc ferme during the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 03, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. Twelfth placed Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari in parc ferme during the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 03, 2025 in Budapest, stated his observations in his Sky F1 column, writing that while the summer break could offer Hamilton a much-needed break, the future looks slightly hazy. He wrote: "I'm not looking forward to writing this next section, it's about Lewis Hamilton, who endured what must have been one of the worst weekends of his career, in and out of the car. "He struggled for ultimate pace in qualifying, and with the pack so close he would start only 12th when his team-mate Leclerc was on pole. He would then describe himself as 'useless' in post-qualifying interviews and suggest the team should change the driver. That was best left unsaid, but he obviously wanted to openly punish himself. "He's clearly in a difficult place personally, and during the race he would finish in that same 12th position, never really showing signs of progress. He sat in the car in parc ferme post-race for what seemed an age, was very downbeat in interviews again, and then declined to attend a stewards' enquiry about a rather ambitious move Max Verstappen made on him during the race in the blind and fast Turn 4, in which Lewis chose to drive off the road to avoid contact. "He didn't want to contest the incident and conceded via his team, but Max did attend the meeting with a rational explanation from his viewpoint, and avoided a penalty. The summer break couldn't be more timely for Lewis to have a reset." Brundle then revealed the harsh reality that could face Hamilton if he fails to bounce back. He added: "It's painful to observe this great champion in so much strife, and we have to expect that he can weather the storm and return to form given his talent and experience, but otherwise I simply can't see him enduring two more seasons at Ferrari, or anywhere else, like this."

Former F1 CEO Asks Lewis Hamilton to Consider Retirement, Names Replacement
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Former Formula One CEO Bernie Ecclestone has advised Lewis Hamilton to retire from F1, as he has been racing "forever" and he must now get used to "doing other stuff away from motor racing." Ecclestone also named drivers he would consider as Hamilton's replacement at Ferrari. As F1 enjoys the summer break, one of the highlights from last weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix was Hamilton, who started the race in P12 and finished in the same position. The seven-time world champion seemed very low after being knocked out in Q2 during the qualifying session, even going to the point of stating later that he was "useless" and that Ferrari should look for another driver. Since his move to the Maranello-based team early this year, Hamilton has struggled to adapt to his SF-25 F1 car. He has yet to secure a podium finish this season, while his teammate Charles Leclerc has been on the podium five times in the last 14 rounds, with his best finish being P2 in Monaco. Ecclestone believes Hamilton is now tired, given his long stint in the world of motorsports, and has thus advised the Briton to pursue a different path. He told the Daily Mail: Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari speaks in the media pen during the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari speaks in the media pen during the F1 Grand Prix of Hungary at Hungaroring on August 3, 2025 in Budapest, Hungary."Lewis is very talented, was and probably still is. But like a lot of leading sports personalities, when they reach the top, there is only one way to go, and it's not a good direction. It's only down. "They get tired. Lewis is tired. He's been doing what he is doing forever. He needs a rest from it for good, a total reset to do something completely different. He may not think it, but he will soon get used to doing other stuff away from motor racing in retirement. I think he should have done it a while ago." Hamilton reportedly signed a deal with Ferrari that lasts until the end of 2027. Despite his dream of winning his eighth championship with Ferrari, Ecclestone believes Hamilton should take his three-season Ferrari payment and make way for another driver. He added: "The guy is not a cheat. But he would be cheating himself if he goes on. He should stop now. If I were looking after him, I would negotiate with Ferrari immediately and say, 'If you have someone to replace Lewis, he'll step aside'. "If I were Lewis, I would say to Ferrari that I wanted to be paid all my contract, in full. They signed him because they thought he could do a job. 'It isn't working, so I can make way if you want me to, but that's the arrangement'. It could work for both parties." Ecclestone then named rookie drivers Isack Hadjar and Gabriel Bortoleto as potential replacements for Hamilton, given their performance in 2025 thus far. The 94-year-old former F1 boss said: "If I could steal him, I'd take Isack Hadjar from Racing Bulls. He has done super well in his first year and is a great guy. I also rate our friend from Brazil (Bortoleto). He is talented. Both of them are sensible, too."
