Lewis Hamilton said he was “bus useless” after qualifying 12th for Hungarian Grand Prix, while his Ferrari team partner Charles Lakeler took the position of pole.
Hamilton failed to move beyond the second qualifying session after struggling for speed compared to Lakeler over all weekends.
Lakeler took the first Grand Prix pole status of Ferrari, although Hamilton won the Chinese Grand Prix Sprint race from the pole in the second program of the season.
A downcast Hamilton said: “I run a lot. This is what it is.”
He said: “I am just useless,” and said that lack of speed of their speed is to do nothing with the car “.
In Hungary, the second part of Hamilton qualifying was 0.247Secs compared to Lakeler, in which it was knocked and Monegaska was the sixth fastest.
Hamilton is below 12–5 for Lakeler on its qualifying head-to-head this year, the average speed at an average speed of 0.146 seconds.
His form continues to qualify for Hamilton on Saturday in 2025, which was against George Russell in his final year in Mercedes last season.
Nevertheless, his result in Hungary is a trend in which he was usually very close to Lakeler since the seventh race of the season.
Belgium was an exception to that run at the end of Belgium at the end of last week, in which he was knocked in the first session for both Sprint and Grand Prix after making mistakes.
However, disappointed with his own performance, Hamilton congratulated Lakeler on his pole.
The seven -time champion said, “It is surprising to the team that the car is capable of staying on the pole,” therefore a great greetings to Charles. ,
Lakeler came to talk about how he never saw Hunger during his career, but he ends with the most amazing and unexpected poll position of the year on Saturday.
In all three practice sessions, Lakeler was in third place behind McClance, but the world champions appeared out of reach.
However, the change in wind between the second and last parts of the qualifying distanced McLeran from her game and opened the door for Lakeler, who beat the championship leader Oscar Piastry to poll with Lando Noris Third.
Lakeler said that he “did not understand” because the car felt bad in full merit. But he and McLaren drivers put the change in competition down to change the weather conditions, when not only vary to 180 degrees in the air, but the level of air strength, temperature and humidity changed.
“In Q3, the situations changed for everyone,” Lakeler said. “I originally put just a clean lap, which was really a good lap because those situations were really difficult to correct everything, and I was really happy about the lap.
“This is probably the most amazing pole position I have ever done, so I am very happy.”
Lakeler said that the amendment in the car in the final race in Belgium had helped his confidence while emphasizing the border in a qualified lap.
Ferrari introduced a new rear suspension, aimed at damaging the floor to the extent to allow them to run a car without damaging the floor that the validity tests after the car were also thwarted, when it was to be corrected jointly with a new floor before three races in Austria.
Lakeler said: “Upgrades at the spa definitely helped me extract a little more.
“Before the spa, I had to install the car very extremely in a very extreme way in the season to try to get something out of this car from this car.
“It was making the car very, very unexpected and very difficult whenever you go to Q3 for 0.1–0.15Secs. It was extremely difficult to get it correctly. And if you reduce the boundaries of that back car slightly, you will pay the price.
“While with this car, you can play a little more with boundaries, and if you walk a little on the border, you just don’t lose so much. So the car is more estimated, which is a good thing.”
