After starting from P12 on the grid, Lewis Hamilton crossed the finish line in the same position. Yesterday, the seven-time world champion was downbeat, saying "I'm useless" as well. Charles Leclerc also reacted to his teammate's statements.

After yesterday's qualifying session, talking to Sky Sports, the British driver said: "It's me every time. I'm useless, absolutely useless. The team have no problem. You've seen the car's on pole. So we probably need to change driver."

Leclerc reacts to Hamilton's self-critical words

After the Hungarian Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc was asked about his teammate's comments.

"At the end we are one team and as much as I want to finish in front of Lewis, I want both of us to be successful and Ferrari to be successful, and obviously this weekend has been a tough one for Lewis," the Monegasque driver began to GPblog among others.

He continued: "But I have no doubt that it's a one-off and I'm sure the second part of the season will be a lot more positive."

Leclerc himself finished in P4, after starting from pole position a day ago. The Ferrari driver also reflected on his radio message, explaining "the issue was an outlier".
