Lewis Hamilton described himself as "absolutely useless" after qualifying 12th for the Hungarian Grand Prix, while teammate Charles Leclerc secured pole position for Ferrari. This marks a significant low point in Hamilton's debut season with the team.

The seven-time Formula 1 champion has now qualified outside the top 10 for the second consecutive race, a stark contrast to his illustrious career. Hamilton noted that while the Ferrari car is performing well, he implied that perhaps a change in driver is necessary.

Despite the setbacks in qualifying, Hamilton showcased his racing prowess by maneuvering through a wet track to finish seventh. As he navigates his inaugural year with Ferrari, Hamilton is actively involved in strategizing with team executives for future advancements.
