Hamilton is eliminated in the first round of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

In qualifying at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton was among the five slowest drivers, putting him out of Q1.

In the first round of qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was eliminated.

Throughout the 18-minute session at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, Hamilton suffered for speed, finishing 7 tenths of a second slower than squad member George Russell.

Hamilton tried a double flyer run at the conclusion of the practise with a recharge circuit in between, expressing amazement at Russell’s pace, especially in the opening sector of the lap.

Hamilton set a specific best on his penultimate lap, a 1:30.343, to move into 15th position and out of the elimination zone, despite radioing in to explain how hard it was for him to progress.

Nevertheless, Lance Stroll of Aston Martin crossed the line seconds later, dropping Hamilton to 16th and out of Q1.

Hamilton apologises to his team

Hamilton wrecked out of the 2017 Brazilian Grand Prix, which was the last occasion he was disqualified in Q1.

Hamilton was informed over the radio that he had been knocked out after struggling for speed in relation to Russell throughout the weekend.

Hamilton, clearly taken aback by the news, expressed regret to his mechanic and the rest of the team for failing to get the car out of Q1.

Russell’s ideal time is presently powerful enough to make it into the Q3 session and guarantee a top-10 grid place, with Q2 well underway in Saudi Arabia at the time of writing.
