ZANDVOORT, Netherlands (AP) — Lewis Hamilton wants to rediscover the joy of driving a Formula 1 car in a difficult first season at Ferrari. Hamilton was frustrated at the last grand prix in Hungary, calling his performance in qualifying “absolutely useless” and questioning whether the Italian team might need a different driver. Speaking on Thursday ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, Hamilton said F1's midseason break was a “reset” and he knows what he wants to improve in the final 10 races of 2025.
