Lewis Hamilton has given a brutal assessment of his debut F1 season with Ferrari. The seven-time world champion left Mercedes at the end of last season after more than a decade with the Silver Arrows, but has struggled mightily with the Scuderia.

Hamilton harshly declared that he deserves to be fired by Ferrari following his 12th-place finish at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The seven-time champion's standing might become impossible if his struggling performance persists during the season's latter half.

Some members of the F1 paddock are concerned about Lewis Hamilton and his increasingly downbeat nature, according to former racing driver Tom Kristensen. Hamilton has endured a tough start to life at Ferrari and sits 42 points behind Charles Leclerc in the individual standings.
