Suffering a wretched weekend at the Hungaroring, Charles Leclerc is convinced it was a one-off for Lewis Hamilton and that the rest of the season will be more positive. Hamilton raised eyebrows during the Hungarian Grand Prix as he voiced his disappointment over his performances in qualifying and the grand prix.

“What?!” Leclerc replied to his race engineer, Bryan Bozzi, after being told the result. He laughed to himself afterwards: “Mamma mia. My God!” The bemusement initially hidden by Leclerc’s helmet remained etched on his face after he hopped out of his car and celebrated with his team.

Ferrari feared Charles Leclerc might not finish Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix after the Monegasque, who started on pole position, suffered a dramatic loss of performance after his second pitstop.
