F1 Qualifying Results: Lewis Hamilton suffers DOUBLE early exit embarrassment at Belgian Grand Prix
Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli faced disappointment in Q1 at Spa, failing to advance for the second day in a row and will line up in the back five alongside Lewis Hamilton for the Belgian Grand Prix.
Ferrari’s potential top-ten entry was dashed when a track limits violation nullified his late lap, dropping him out of contention.
Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris continued to impress with leading times, while a more aerodynamically-balanced Max Verstappen secured the third spot.
The session kicked off with a minor incident as Nico Hulkenberg nudged Lance Stroll in the pitlane, resulting in front wing damage for Stroll and a low starting position for both drivers.
Hulkenberg barely made the cut in 13th, whereas Stroll finished 20th, sharing the final row with his teammate Fernando Alonso.
In F1 Qualifying, three stages determine grid positions with eliminations in Q1 and Q2 leading to a top-ten shootout in Q3 to set the front of the grid for Sunday’s race.
