F1 Qualifying Results: Lewis Hamilton Suffers DOUBLE Early Exit After…read more
In a shocking turn of events during Belgian Grand Prix qualifying, seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton endured a nightmare session, suffering a double early exit that left fans and pundits stunned.
The Mercedes driver failed to make it out of Q1, marking one of the most disappointing Saturdays of his decorated career. His lap times were well off the pace, with tyre strategy and track conditions working against him. The result was compounded by his earlier elimination from the Sprint Qualifying session, meaning Hamilton failed to reach the top 10 in either of the weekend’s key time trials.
Hamilton appeared visibly frustrated post-session, citing grip issues and a lack of balance in the W15 as key factors in the poor performance.
Meanwhile, Red Bull and McLaren dominated the session, with Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, and Oscar Piastri showing impressive pace in tricky Spa conditions.
With rain threatening to mix things up on race day, Hamilton will now face the tough challenge of charging up the field from a lowly grid position.
