Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton has lamented a “big, big struggle” with his Formula 1 car’s balance following the first two practice sessions for the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion finished 0.306secs slower than Leclerc and appeared to struggle with rear-end stability on the evidence of several oversteer snaps

Heading into the Hungarian GP, Leclerc was the Ferrari driver with more concerns. The Monegasque racer described the Hungaroring as his worst circuit, predicting a challenging weekend after four podiums from his last six outings.
