Hamilton questions driving in F1: 'why are you doing it?'

Hamilton is one of the most decorated F1 drivers in the history of the sport. However, that does not stop him from doubting himself amid bad results. At the Hungarian Grand Prix, he said Ferrari should replace the driver (I.e. him) as he qualified 16th and his teammate, Charles Leclerc, was on pole position.

Hamilton is looking forward to the last ten races in the 2025 season. When asked how hard it was for him to separate having fun from being under pressure, he admitted that it was very important to him.

Hamilton won the Shanghai sprint race but other than that has failed to get onto a feature race podium. His highest result has been fourth place at the Canadian, Austrian and British Grand Prix.

He then questions, "It was fun for me. And I think for anyone, in whatever career you’re in, if you’re not enjoying what you’re doing, then why are you doing it?"

He then said the noise around his move has dimmed his enjoyment.
