Lewis, you again
At Silverstone, a 5″ penalty during his home GP for an early start. At Spa-Francorchamps, another 5″ to be served during the pit stop for the contact that took Russell out. And now in Budapest, a 3-place grid penalty for impeding Piastri. In short, for Lewis Hamilton, it’s anything but a simple period from a disciplinary point of view.

Of course, the Brit is still second in the world championship, 45 points behind leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli, and tomorrow he will start 2 positions further up, but it is undeniable that Hamilton is going through a complicated moment in his excellent 2026 world championship.
In the evening, Lewis entrusted a thought to Instagram about this period. In his post, he did not forget to praise the competitiveness of his Ferrari.
Hamilton’s outburst
“Sometimes you just can’t find a moment of peace. Another weekend where I felt great during all sessions, but then everything went to hell. Going from being so close to pole position to then starting from fifth place is extremely frustrating.

I always do my best to stay positive: sport is made of ups and downs, but also of details. Every point counts and every opportunity must be seized. After 3 penalties in 3 weekends, it’s becoming difficult to maintain that positivity. However, I won’t let setbacks diminish the progress we’re making as a team. With the pace we have, I hope we can get something from the race tomorrow. The car is getting better and better, and we’ve been competitive all weekend.
