The seven-time world champion underperformed.\n\nAfter qualifying in twelfth position on Saturday, Hamilton expressed his disappointment, going so far as to suggest that Ferrari &#8220;needed to change drivers,&#8221; while his teammate, Charles Leclerc, secured pole position.\n\nUpon finishing the race on Sunday in the same position, Hamilton reiterated his feelings from the previous day.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0804%2Fr1527611_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Lewis Hamilton tuvo un fin de semana dif\u00edcil en Hungr\u00eda.\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nWhen asked if it was necessary to motivate Hamilton during the summer break and improve his performance, Vasseur replied that such a conversation was not necessary.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t need to motivate him. Honestly, he&#8217;s frustrated, but not demotivated. I can perfectly understand the situation. Sometimes you make comments about what the driver says in the car, but if you put the microphone on other athletes in football, I&#8217;m not sure it&#8217;s much better,\u201d commented Vasseur.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Fred Vasseur<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nVasseur insists that the difference between Leclerc and Hamilton was not as big as it seemed in qualifying, with Hamilton only 0.015 seconds away from passing to Q3.\n\nFerrari&#8217;s boss believes Hamilton&#8217;s frustration stems from his high expectations and his desire to compete at the front of the grid.\n\n&#8220;He&#8217;s demanding. But I think that&#8217;s also why he&#8217;s a seven-time world champion, he&#8217;s demanding of the team, of the car, of the engineers, of the mechanics, of me too. But, first of all, he&#8217;s very demanding of himself,&#8221; added Vasseur.\n\n&#8220;When you are a seven-time world champion and your teammate is in pole position and you are out in Q2, it&#8217;s difficult; it&#8217;s a tough situation. But we can see that in Q1 he was ahead of Charles, in the first set; in Q2 he was a tenth behind. We are not far from having both cars in Q2. And the result of this is that Charles eventually achieves pole position, but no&#8230; Honestly, the difference wasn&#8217;t 1.2 seconds yesterday. But I can understand Lewis&#8217; frustration. This is normal,&#8221; he concluded.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vasseur Understands Hamilton&#8217;s Frustration After the Hungarian Grand Prix Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has expressed his full understanding of Lewis Hamilton&#8217;s frustration after the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend.
