Disconsolate Hamilton reacts to struggle in Hungary
‘The team have no problem … it’s me every time’
Lewis Hamilton said he is “absolutely useless” and claimed Ferrari need to replace him after he qualified 12th for the Hungarian Grand Prix - as teammate 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.
The 40-year-old has a record eight wins and nine pole positions at the track. However, a week after he qualified only 16th at Spa-Francorchamps, he suffered another setback. Hamilton has now been out-qualified by Leclerc at 10 of the 14 rounds so far and trails his team-mate by 30 points in the standings.
