‘I'm absolutely useless': Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari should replace him after qualifying 12th
Lewis Hamilton said he is 'absolutely useless' and claimed Ferrari need to replace him after he qualified 12th for the Hungarian Grand Prix - as team-mate Charles Leclerc took pole position. Outside of a sprint win at the second round in China, Hamilton's move from Mercedes to Ferrari has failed to live up to its blockbuster billing and his debut season in red took another sorry twist when he was knocked out of Q2 at the Hungaroring. The 40-year-old has a record eight wins and nine pole positions at the track. However, a week after he qualified only 16th at Spa-Francorchamps, he suffered another setback. Hamilton has now been out-qualified by Leclerc at 10 of the 14 rounds so far and trails his team-mate by 30 points in the standings. And, in an astonishing admission in the moments after qualifying, Hamilton told Sky Sports: '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.' After he failed to progress to Q3, Hamilton emerged from his cockpit and walked towards the Ferrari motorhome holding his gloves in front of his visor to obstruct the full glare of the waiting TV cameras. Hamilton's lowly grid slot looks set to extend his run without a podium finish to 14 races. Until this season he had never gone more than 10 rounds into a campaign without finishing in the top three. Championship leader Oscar Piastri and title rival Lando Norris had been expected to fight for pole, but the McLaren men were left to settle for second and third respectively. Leclerc saw off Piastri by just 0.026 seconds, with Norris only 0.015secs behind the Australian. George Russell finished fourth for Mercedes. Leclerc said: 'Today I don't understand anything in Formula One. Honestly, the whole qualifying was extremely difficult. When I say extremely difficult, it's not exaggerating. It was difficult for us to get to Q2, it was difficult for us to get to Q3. In Q3, the conditions changed a little bit. Everything became a lot trickier and I knew I just had to do a clean lap to target third. 'At the end of the day, it's pole position. I definitely did not expect that. Honestly, I have no words. It's probably one of the best pole positions I've ever had. It's the most unexpected, for sure.'

Australia 22-12 British & Irish Lions: third Test player ratings
Tom Wright Another confident outing from a quality operator throughout the series. Joined the attack well and his kicks from hand regularly created territorial advantage. 7 Max Jorgensen Carried the ball for quite a few metres, including plenty on the way to scoring a poacher's try. Aggressive all game. 7 Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii Glimpse of his quality to put Pietsch in the corner to open the scoring. Also put in a rattling tackle to dislodge the ball from Beirne late on, but anonymous for large spells. 6 Len Ikitau Held up just short on a dart to the line that should have had him on the scoreboard. Summed up a display that didn't reach the heights of previous weeks. 6 Dylan Pietsch Opened the scoring with a dazzling diving finish; the zenith of a performance that was emblematic of his team. Popped up all over the park making aggressive interventions in attack and defence. 9 Tom Lynagh Left proceedings early after taking a knock in the 35th minute. Up to that point it was a broadly competent outing in howling conditions. 6 Nic White What a way to end a Test career. Led from the front in setting the rhythm and pace of the team, kicked beautifully from the base of the ruck and took winding up the opposition scrum-half to pantheon levels. 9 James Slipper If last week showed what he could do in the loose, the veteran was back on top form in the scrum this time out. At his age it's a lot to ask to do both. 6 Billy Pollard Caused a flutter of worry with a poor throw in his first lineout, but redeemed minutes later by winning a turnover penalty. Solid enough after that. 6 Taniela Tupou Brought his considerable mass to bear in an impressive scrum performance. One trademark 20-metre carry just after the weather break. 7 Nick Frost Chief architect of a transformed Australian lineout and senior wrecking ball to the disintegrating Lions. 8 Will Skelton Much is made of the lock's physical stature, which he employed to great effect. Just as important is his evil henchman approach that unsettled the Lions all game. 8 Tom Hooper Led the team in carries as he tirelessly took the fight to the opposition in attack. Wasn't found wanting in defence, either. 8 Fraser McReight Made the breakdown his arena for much of the game, winning turnovers and being a general menace. Also topped the tackle chart for his team. 8 Harry Wilson Always willing to work harder than anyone else, even if he is coming off second best physically, which he often was here. 6 Replacements Brandon Paenga-Amosa (for Pollard, 72) n/a; Angus Bell (for James Slipper, 57) 6; Zane Nonggor (for Tupou, 60) 6; Jeremy Williams (for Skelton, 63) 7; Langi Gleeson (for Hooper, 77) n/a; Tate McDermott (for White, 58) 8; Ben Donaldson (for Lynagh, 33) 7; Andrew Kellaway (for Jorgensen, 77) n/a. Hugo Keenan Bundled over his own line early on, and had a mix up with a clearing kick outside the 22 in second half. Other than that, a competent job in tricky conditions. 6 Tommy Freeman A few decent runs out on the right before his early exit, but second fiddle to the irrepressible Pietsch. 6 Huw Jones Not the ideal context for a classy 13 to operate in given the downpour and disjoined nature of his team. Pushed to the wing, where he shanked an attempted chip and chase into touch. 5 Bundee Aki This was a game in which a big carrier should have set the tone but he was penalised in key moments, dropped too many balls and was easily marshalled by the Wallabies. 4 Blair Kinghorn Offered more security out wide under the high ball than the departed Lowe, but did throw a loose pass that set up the second Aussie score. 6 Finn Russell Some inventive kicks amid the tempest to keep his side interested. A tricky day for an outside-half whose forwards were second best, but has to take responsibility for some of the imprecision in the backs. 6 Jamison Gibson-Park His quiet authority is usually such a boon to any team, but that was decisively shouted down by the performance of White. 5 Andrew Porter Energetic with carries in the loose but splintered under the pressure of Tupou and Skelton's weight in the scrum. 5 Dan Sheehan A poor performance by his standards. Throws were stolen or misdirected too often, no usual try to his name and faded under the captaincy pressure when Itoje left the field. 5 Tadhg Furlong Lost out to Slipper in the tight and his team didn't have enough ball for him to show some of his physicality on the hoof. 5 Maro Itoje Limited impact due to a head injury, but was right up there as one of the better performers prior to early exit. Plenty of tackles and worked hard. Unable to win a lineout, however. 6 James Ryan Was trying manfully to duplicate his impact off the bench last week, and mostly failing until accidental knee to the head removed him from action. 6 Tadhg Beirne In a good match for back-rowers the Ireland man again showed his quality. Stole an early lineout, won some jackal turnovers and was full of running even late on. 7 Tom Curry Not as hugely impactful as his previous two outings, but led the tackle line from the front on a day when the Lions had to do a lot of defending. 7 Jack Conan Put in an honest shift as always. Was caught with the ball on the ground by Hooper at one point which summed up his general lack of ascendency. 6 Replacements: Ronan Kelleher (for Sheehan, 57) 5; Ellis Genge (for Porter, 42) 5; Will Stuart (for Furlong, 57) 6; Ollie Chessum (for Itoje, 27) 5; Jac Morgan (for Ryan, 42) 6; Ben Earl (for Conan, 63) 5; Alex Mitchell (for Gibson-Park, 71) n/a; Owen Farrell (for Freeman, 37) 5

SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: A Lions series win has always got to be applauded, so big congratulations to Andy Farrell and Maro Itoje - but here is why I don't think the Class of 2025 can be seen in the same bracket as the best ones like 1974 or 1997
It wasn't a great night for the Lions and, man for man, there is not one of their players who could say they got the better of their opposite number. In the first Test, every single Lions player was better than every Australian player, but this time it was completely the other way round. There can't be any excuses for that because there was a lot at stake for the Lions, but Australia won hands-down. How will this tour be remembered? A lot of it depends on the outcome and there's no doubt they will have slipped down the pecking order a bit because of how it went in this last Test.
