Lewis Hamilton is "devastated" about Ferrari's current problems and has called upon the team to produce more upgrades in their bid to find performance.

Hamilton starts P12 today with Charles Leclerc his team-mate only one place further up the grid.

The Scuderia have had a difficult season so far with the SF-25 well behind their competitors' cars and Hamilton said: "I definitely feel devastated, I feel just gutted I guess, because the car was generally feeling really good,” he said.

"I honestly felt like the setup was just right, the brakes were working, everything was kind of in place, and we just can’t go quicker.

"I think we made progress this weekend with the bit that I was talking about before. It's still not where it needs to be.

"And there's performance in that. And we need more upgrades for sure. We've got to start adding performance to this car.

"Clearly, we're not at the level. I mean, look at Max's rear, it just doesn't move. He's doing, like, I don’t know, like 6-10kph faster through Turn 2 than us, and we can’t match that. Same with the McLarens.

"So we just got to keep pushing, keep applying pressure. I believe that the guys can find some performance."
