And whatever Ferrari<\/a> have brought to their car to help him hasn\u2019t worked so far. A recent rear suspension update appears to have made his life more difficult, if anything.<\/p>\n Hamilton<\/a> will be aware that time is running out for him to achieve his dreams with the Scuderia. Fully focusing on the 2026 F1 regulations<\/a> is now his best approach. He can use the rest of this year to learn.<\/p>\n Ferrari aren\u2019t internally ignoring Hamilton\u2019s \u2018useless\u2019 comments<\/a> at the Hungarian Grand Prix. His frustration got the better of him after qualifying 12th.<\/p>\n After half a year in the job, Hamilton is \u2018now realising\u2019 how different Ferrari is<\/a> and the level of commitment required to win with them. It\u2019s why many before him have failed too.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Ferrari will be concerned by what Lewis Hamilton did as soon as he finished the Hungarian Grand Prix<\/a><\/p>\n Martin Brundle has made a \u2018painful\u2019 Hamilton prediction<\/a> and can\u2019t see the seven-time champion remaining at Ferrari beyond 2026.<\/p>\n Whether or not he becomes a player in the Formula 1 driver market<\/a> again, or decides to retire, is another question. Perhaps a Mercedes return would be on the cards if Kimi Antonelli continues to struggle?<\/p>\n Sky Sports F1\u2019s Bernie Collins has quashed rumours that Hamilton may not be allowed to run the same Ferrari setups as teammate Leclerc. It doesn\u2019t explain his poor form.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s already started the rumours around why is Ferrari not allowing Lewis [to have] the same car setup. They ran very, very slightly different wings,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe didn\u2019t hear any reason from Ferrari as to why they ran slightly different wings, but I suspect it\u2019s driver preference. One will be slightly better in qualifying, one will be slightly better in race conditions, I\u2019d imagine. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any conspiracy there. These things kick off very, very quickly. I think it\u2019s everyone in that team, will be working to try and get the best out of both drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: Lewis Hamilton\u2019s last Hungarian Grand Prix radio message leaves Ferrari in a difficult position<\/a><\/p>\n What can Lewis Hamilton do in the second half of the 2025 Formula 1 season?<\/p>\n Spending more time on track with Ferrari\u2019s recent upgrades should help both drivers to extract more performance from them. They just need those laps under their belts.<\/p>\n![\"Ferrari](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2227782318-1024x683.jpg\")
