Lewis Hamilton will be lining up at the back of the grid for the start of the US Grand Prix on Sunday!
Lewis Hamilton did not advance out of the first qualifying segment at the United States Grand Prix, qualifying in 19th place, his worst result at the Circuit of the Americas. This marked a significant change from his previous best qualifying position of fifth place. Hamilton was only faster than Zhou Guanyu at the end of Q1, with a mistake at Turn 12 costing him. Despite finishing the sprint race in sixth place, Hamilton is expected to move up at least one position on Sunday due to a grid penalty for Liam Lawson related to his power unit. Hamilton’s reaction to his early exit was brief, as he simply said, “Ah, alright guys.”
