Despondent Hamilton says he's 'useless' and Ferrari should replace him
The seven-time Formula One world champion, who is 40, has an unrivalled record in Hungary with eight wins and nine poles but Saturday's performance was far from those heights.
"It's me every time. I'm useless, absolutely useless," he told Sky Sports television when explaining why he had said "every time, every time" over the radio after failing to make the cut.
"The team have no problem. You've seen the car's on pole.
"So we probably need to change driver."
Hamilton joined Ferrari from Mercedes in January and has yet to stand on the podium for Formula One's oldest, most glamorous and successful team although he did win the Shanghai sprint from pole in March.
Leclerc has had five top three finishes in 13 races so far this season.

Partizan Belgrade 0-2 Hibernian: What Gray said
Hibernian head coach David Gray: "To come here and win 2-0 is unbelievable, it took some effort. "We asked the players to come over here, give everything and to make sure the tie is still alive when you go home, we've certainly done that. "We've put ourselves in a fantastic position but I've just reminded the players that's all it is at the moment in time. Based on our second half performance there's things we need to improve on. To come here, into this atmosphere, the players can take a lot of confidence from it. "Credit to Partizan, they stayed really aggressive and positive in the game. They kept playing the way they were which was really dangerous. We probably protected what we had, played it a bit safe but I can't fault the players' efforts and everything that came with that. "If you'd offered me that result before the game I'd have bitten your hand off."
