Lewis Hamilton called himself “absolutely useless” and suggested Ferrari should change drivers after he qualified 12th for the Hungarian Grand Prix, with teammate Charles Leclerc on pole.

Lewis Hamilton reckons Ferrari needs to “change driver” after his early exit in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix while Formula 1 team-mate Charles Leclerc took pole. The seven-time world champion will start 12th for Sunday’s contest at the Hungaroring, while Ferrari stablemate Leclerc stormed to pole with his final lap in Q3.

Lewis Hamilton was appalled at his own F1 qualifying performance in Hungary, describing his performance as “useless.” The 40-year-old, who is yet to register a podium this season with Ferrari, could only qualify a disappointing 12th on the grid for Sunday’s race.
