Martin Brundle makes 'rewind' wish after shock Lewis Hamilton comment

Former F1 driver Martin Brundle wishes the world could "rewind" to post-qualifying at the Hungarian Grand Prix, to stop Lewis Hamilton from calling himself "useless".  After a troubled session at the Hungaroring, the seven-time F1 champion berated himself, urging Ferrari to sign a new driver. Despite previously claiming nine pole positions at the Budapest venue, Hamilton was eliminated in Q2 after only managing 12th on the grid. To add to his struggles, Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc secured pole position.  It resulted in a raft of staggering comments from the 40-year-old, who said to Sky F1 : "Yeah, I'm useless. Absolutely useless." He later stated: "[The] Team has no problem, you see the car's on pole, so we'll need to change driver." It was the most dejected Hamilton had appeared all season, in what has been a troubling first campaign with Ferrari.  Challenges settling into the Italian squad and adjusting to the Scuderia's culture after 12 seasons with Mercedes were expected. However, Hamilton is the only driver in the top seven of the standings without a podium. The Briton has not appeared on the rostrum in 15 races – a career worst.  Brundle wishes the 105-time race winner had not been so hard on himself after qualifying in Hungary, due to concerns that the sharp comments will remain present for a long period. "He was down, wasn't he?" said Brundle on Sky Sports F1 . "And I think I found it a very difficult watch, without doubt.  "I wish we could, for Lewis, rewind to [Saturday] and edit that out for him, because that'll play out for a very long time, and it was probably better unsaid, but that was his feeling at that moment.  "He wears his heart on his sleeve, we know that. But yeah, difficult times. And the other [Ferrari], Charles being on pole, that's very much salt in his wounds."
