F1 legend Lewis Hamilton is hurtling towards his worst nightmare at Ferrari, despite the move to Maranello initially prompting hopes of a record-breaking eighth championship for the Brit.

While Lewis Hamilton is not retiring, he and Ferrari did perhaps “underestimate” the challenge of his adaptation. That is the concession made by Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur, with Hamilton having hit a new mental low at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Talk of a retirement announcement, however, has since been put to bed.

Hamilton harshly declared that he deserves to be fired by Ferrari following his 12th-place finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The seven-time champion's standing might become impossible if his struggling performance persists during the season's latter half.
