Lewis Hamilton was eliminated in SQ1 for Sprint qualifying at the 2025 F1 Belgium Grand Prix event.
Lewis Hamilton was unexpectedly eliminated in the first segment of Belgian Grand Prix Sprint qualifying due to a spin at Spa. This was caused by a rear-locking issue which dropped him to 18th place, missing out on advancing by 0.238s. The last time a Ferrari was eliminated in this stage was in 2023 when Sprint qualifying was introduced. Other notable eliminations included Alex Albon, Nico Hulkenberg, Franco Colapinto, and Kimi Antonelli. Both Hamilton and Antonelli had secured Sprint poles earlier in the season in China and Miami.
