The suggestion from Lewis Hamilton that Ferrari should find someone to replace him is nonsense. The remark was made soon after he watched his team-mate take a shock pole position on a track that he himself has dominated at over the years with eight wins and nine poles.

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 has called himself “absolutely useless” and suggested Ferrari should change drivers after he qualified 12th for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
