Lewis Hamilton was put on the spot over an Instagram story he posted ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix. The legendary Ferrari driver told fans to ‘follow the smoke’ after posting a teaser for an announcement on August 8th. The seven-time world champion put up an Instagram story with a video of a smoking matchstick, propped up against a matchbox.

The Hungarian Grand Prix treated us to one of the most bizarre starts in F1 history in 2021, with Lewis Hamilton at the centre of the drama.

Appearing on the Backstage Pitlane podcast, former Jordan, Williams and Toyota driver Schumacher claimed that Hamilton’s woes at Spa exposed his weakness with adapting to car changes. And he pointed out that Hamilton’s “inappropriate comments” only add to the pressure when events do not go his way.
