Formula 1 fans believe Lewis Hamilton was victim of the 'Nico Rosberg curse'
Topping qualifying was still a huge feat for, with his Dutch rival on a five-race pole position streak ahead of the weekend in a season where Red Bull have been utterly dominant.
The only other time a Red Bull hasn’t topped qualifying was in Azerbaijan where Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc took pole, and on race day, the Milton Keynes team is unbeaten in 2023. However, some fans suggested a curse may have been the reason Verstappen finished just three thousandths behind Hamilton in Hungary.'Sorry guys' - Hamilton apologises for losing three positions as teammates are wiped out
Nico Rosberg, 2016 world champion, was in attendance at the Hungaroring as a pundit for Sky, and when he took a selfie in front of Verstappen’s garage ahead of qualifying, his followers brought up his curse, only to be proved right. F1 followers have long joked that the German’s pictures with drivers’ cars only leads to bad luck, so when he then posted an almost identical image in front of Hamilton’s car on Sunday, some fans of the no.44 lost their minds.A flood of comments along the same vein came rolling in, pre-race, and it was little surprise for many to see Hamilton then drop back.
