Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton has revealed that unresolved issues behind the scenes are impacting his race performances. After placing 12th in his latest race, the former champion admitted to moments of doubt, notably describing himself as 'absolutely useless' after a disappointing qualification and race finish.

While Hamilton's struggles were evident, his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc also experienced a challenging race. Originally starting from pole position, Leclerc fell to fourth. This drop-off was attributed to a loss of pace and a subsequent battle with Mercedes' George Russell.

After voicing frustration over the team's strategy and his car's drivability, Leclerc later recanted his statements, acknowledging post-race discussions revealed issues with the car's chassis. The incident highlighted ongoing challenges for Ferrari's drivers amid a competitive racing environment.
