Lewis Hamilton’s dreams turned into a nightmare once again as he faced a back-to-back qualifying disaster at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The most successful driver in the history of the Hungaroring found himself struggling to make an impact during Saturday’s session, failing to secure a spot in the top 10 pole position shootout for the second race in a row.
The seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, who was aiming to bounce back from a tough qualifying in Belgium, could only manage a 13th place on the grid for Sunday’s grand prix. Expressing his frustration, Hamilton’s radio message, “Every time. Every time,” echoed through the airwaves, capturing the disappointment of the Mercedes driver.
Accompanying Hamilton in the disappointing drop zone was his teammate Kimi Antonelli, who grappled with a lack of rear grip throughout the crucial lap. On the brighter side for Mercedes, Charles Leclerc managed to navigate his way into the top 10 shootout, despite a hair-raising moment at high speed in Turn 4.
As the Hungarian Grand Prix looms ahead, Hamilton faces an uphill battle to carve his way through the grid and salvage crucial points in the championship race. Will the British driver be able to turn his luck around on race day, or is this the beginning of a downward spiral for the reigning champion? The stakes are high, the pressure is on, and the drama unfolds at the Hungaroring.
