'I'm absolutely useless and Ferrari need a new driver' — Lewis Hamilton struggles to new low

A week after he qualified only 16th at Spa-Francorchamps, the Briton suffered another setback in Budapest. Hamilton has now been out-qualified by Leclerc at 10 of the 14 rounds so far

Lewis Hamilton said he is "absolutely useless" and claimed Ferrari need to replace him after he qualified 12th for the Hungarian Grand Prix - as team-mate Charles Leclerc took pole position.

Outside of a sprint win at the second round in China, Hamilton's move from Mercedes to Ferrari has failed to live up to its blockbuster billing and his debut season in red took another sorry twist when he was knocked out of Q2 at the Hungaroring.
