Lewis Hamilton‘s woes at Ferrari have continued even after finishing 13 races in the 2025 season. Hamilton remained on the backfoot of performances since the beginning of the Hungarian GP and has been unable to achieve a good enough qualifying position. The Briton got eliminated from the Q2 qualifying session, as he will have to start the race from P12. Now, the 40-year-old lambasts his performance in Hungary and puts forth some shockingly negative statements about himself.

Lewis Hamilton‘s time at Ferrari has been nothing short of a massive challenge. The Briton has remained vocal on the issues he is facing in terms of performance at the Italian constructor. While Hamilton is giving it his all to improve his results, he is unable to do so because of the mediocre pace of the challenger. Because of this, the seven-time champion finally breaks down and calls himself a completely useless driver.

Speaking on his Q2 exit, Lewis Hamilton opens up and reveals that he is the one committing the mistake on the track every time, while his team is giving it their all. Hamilton shockingly labeled himself ‘absolutely’ useless as his woeful time on the track continues. To make matters worse, Charles Leclerc scored an impressive pole position for the Hungarian GP, which further makes the 40-year-old look bad.

Hamilton pointed out that the team was clearly not the problem, as the other car of Charles Leclerc achieved the pole position. The Briton continued his roast session and declared that the Italian constructor probably needed to replace him with another driver to score better results during races and qualifying sessions. Although the 40-year-old’s disappointment is real, he will definitely score a great recovery drive on Sunday and give it his all to achieve a good finish in the race.

It’s me every time. I’m useless, absolutely useless. Team’s not the problem, can see the other car on pole. Team probably needs to change driver.

No. Not really much… There’s nothing positive about today, apart from the fact that Charles is on pole, which is.. Congratulations to him. Its really great for the team.
