'Everything Went Wrong' — Vasseur Lays Into Ferrari After Hungary Disaster

Fred Vasseur has come out swinging after a forgettable weekend at the Hungaroring, declaring that “everything went wrong” for Ferrari during last weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, with both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton failing to get near the podium.

A Weekend to Forget at the Hungaroring

When your team principal uses those exact words, you know it wasn’t just a bad afternoon — it was a full-scale capitulation. Ferrari copped a blow at a circuit where pace and tyre management matter enormously, and they got both wrong. The Scuderia arrived in Hungary with genuine title hopes still flickering, but whatever could go sideways, did. Strategy, execution, race pace — none of it clicked into place.

Hamilton, in his debut Ferrari season, would’ve been desperate to deliver at a track that historically rewards smooth, technical driving. Leclerc too. Neither got the result. That stings double.

What It Means Going Forward

The damage isn’t just to the points tally — it’s the momentum question. Ferrari’s rivals won’t be losing sleep over this being a one-off. When a team boss is that direct in public, it usually means there are harder conversations happening behind closed doors.

With the season in full flight, Ferrari can’t afford another weekend where the wheels fall off — literally or otherwise. Vasseur will want answers, and he’ll want them fast. Head over to the F1 Hub for the latest standings and how the championship picture is shifting after Budapest.

The Scuderia gave it a red-hot crack and came away empty-handed. That’s a tough pill to swallow with the business end of the season closing in.
