Lewis Hamilton was knocked out in Q2 in Hungary, and his assessment, a stern one, renders him 'useless' and calling to Ferrari to change drivers.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Hamilton judged his session and took responsibility for what was ultimately a dissappointing result when compared to his teammate's pole position.
"It's me every time," the 7-time world champion said, after what seems to be an endless run of lacklustre performances, following his two Q1 exits on the trot in Belgium
