Hamilton's Tough Spa: Qualifying Woes for Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton faced a difficult Belgian Grand Prix weekend, being eliminated in the first session of both sprint and main qualifying. His main qualifying lap was deleted for exceeding track limits at Raidillon, placing him 16th on the main race grid, while a gearbox-related rear axle lock-up caused a spin in sprint qualifying, leaving him 18th for the sprint race. Ferrari had just introduced a new rear suspension aimed at improving downforce, but Hamilton expressed disappointment in the lack of immediate improvement. Despite these setbacks, Hamilton was seen consoling rookie Kimi Antonelli, demonstrating notable sportsmanship. The challenges highlight Ferrari's ongoing performance struggles, but Hamilton remains committed to ending the team's long title drought. He has apologized to his team and remains focused on future success.
