🚨| Lewis Hamilton: "Firstly I think the team, the guys in the garage, did a fantastic job with pit stops, strategy was generally very, very good. The car felt awesome and they've worked so hard to continue to provide a bit of an upgrade here. We're just chipping away at it all the time. We're losing still this first half of the season. We've been losing three to five tenths on the straight depending on which track we go to. That's a hard deficit to overcome just through corners, but we're close." "Today was definitely frustrating for me. I'm here to win and I really believe that this team can win. Whether or not we couldn't win this race, but to win championships you have to pick up every point. The last few races have been difficult with penalties and stuff. Today I lost several seconds behind Charles, which I think ultimately probably could have, would have made the difference at the end. But we'll take it offline." "My goal is to try and lead this team to the top, to the championship. We've got some work to do for sure." "We need to hit the ground running in Monza. Perfect execution. So, I hope our pace is a little bit better in Monza. I hope we're able to do well, to go to Monza as a Ferrari driver and hopefully be fighting towards the front would be something special."

🚨| Lewis Hamilton's post-race interview. "I mean, I don't count on myself unlucky. I think about, I think about my mistake that I made yesterday, so I take full responsibility really for the fourth place I ended up getting because I damaged the car, then when they rebuilt the car they missed something on the suspension, so the balance was completely different, so that meant I was probably a good couple tenths, maybe three tenths slower than I should have been in qualifying, and then I ended up further back, got in the incident, five second penalty, so just like a domino effect from I think a decision mistake from myself, so, but the team have been doing a great job with strategy, pit stops, we are continuing to improve the car, I think our pace today without the damage, I think we could have been challenging for the win." Q: Yeah, we're waiting on the obviously the release, and you were looking for a front wing change, and I think he's fine, and you were immediately concerned for him, but you're worried you might pick up a penalty for that. "I mean, I don't know what, I mean I didn't do, I did what the green light went, and so I went, you're looking over here, you're not looking over there, so that's more kind of probably on the team ultimately, but I'm just, when it happened, then I noticed him and I stopped, and I might just, what went through my mind in that moment was back when Kimi hit and broke a leg, and my heart really sank for a second, but I'm really grateful he's okay." Q: Just to look on the positive, you go to Hungary, it's a great track for you, you know, you're second in the Championship again, it looks like that will be the case, there's an engine upgrade coming, are you very hopeful that the season can gather momentum for you? "I think so, I think we've, this weekend, a bit unfortunate, and then Silverstone again, I think it's really great to see the performance that we're bringing, and we're improving the car constantly, I think we've got more stuff coming in the pipeline to try and close that gap down, but to be here and have the pace generally that we did as a team is really encouraging, and I think yeah, I think there's still a long way to go, I can't afford weekends like this in the sense of my performance yesterday, so I'm going to step it up in terms of focus level for next week."

Q: I understand the drivers are going to meet with the some of the stewards and some of the race directors Later "Not that I know of.." Q: You haven't saw a meeting or anything like that? "No, I try and avoid those things." Q: Haha "Yeah, I'm not gonna.. I don't think I'll be there. I don't know anything apart from drivers briefing." Q: But in terms of that, so you wouldn't be seeking any kind of I don't know just flexibility I guess under the driving standards that we have at the moment given that that seemed to be a racing incident? "Not particularly. It's not something that's not something I've come into this weekend thinking about, no. I'm sure they'll look at it and look at... I think that you know the FIA is trying to do the best job and be consistent. Obviously, it's not always the case that the consistency is achieved but yeah, I'm not really thinking about last weekend. It's done. I'm moving forwards." F1 2026 || Hungary

🚨| Lewis Hamilton: "I feel optimistic. 5th is not the greatest, but it could be far far worse, so I'm grateful to be there and of course I wish I was up further ahead, however I think our race pace was pretty good in the race. Charles had a good race pace this morning and I feel optimistic, I think the car is in a better place, so I think hopefully with the right strategy, with the right execution, I think hopefully we can challenge the guys ahead."

🚨| Lewis Hamilton on the up and down weekend so far. "I think when we started off FP1 the car felt great, I was consistent, but of course there was still, there's always areas that you feel like you can improve, so we made subtle changes to try and fix those improvements and it flipped the car on its head and it was horrible through sprint qualifying and then all through the race I just had no confidence in the balance, and we made all these changes into qualifying, so I was learning a new car again, a new balance again, which I'm much happier with, but now trying to progress with it, learning it in only like six laps was a challenge, but also the Mercedes are up ahead now that we have a bit of a deficit on power, so I think tomorrow I think our race pace should be better and I think as I said the car is better (for the race)."

🚨| Lewis Hamilton after qualifying. "[Lando Norris] did a great job. I didn't go quicker in the last lap. I was good through the session. I think we've done a good job this weekend. But I've got to go and see the stewards. [Tomorrow is] all dependent on the stewards, so we'll see what happens in the next half an hour. But I always think of the worst. So tomorrow might be damage limitations." F1 2026 | Hungary

🚨| Lewis Hamilton on that last pit stop decision and the first half of this F1 season. "I definitely don't think we should have taken the stop. The call came literally just before the pit lane entry, and I didn't have time to debate. And you've got to trust the decision that's been taken. In hindsight, my tyres were totally fine. I was probably going to lose out to Max, but I think I could have kept third at least. And then, yeah, just opened up the door obviously to the penalty there at the end." "I definitely am [optimistic for the second half of the season]. I'm massively grateful to the team, because they've really done a great job in this first half. I think the last three races, for me, have not been great. Lots of mistakes. A mistake at Silverstone that cost dearly and then obviously in the last race as well. So, yeah. And then this weekend. So, a lot of penalties in the last three races. So, I've got to work hard to not give them the opportunity to give me [more] penalties moving forwards." F1 2026 | Hungary
