Lewis Hamilton failed to advance to Q2 for the first time since 2017
Publish date:Lewis Hamilton is no stranger to making history in Formula One, but on Saturday evening, he looked far from his record-breaking form in qualifying at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver struggled to find pace in the car throughout the early stages of the evening in Jeddah. He ended up 16th after the first round of qualifying, a mere 0.087 seconds off of Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll, who finished in 15th place. Hamilton hovered around the elimination zone before moving into 15th just before time expired in the first round. However, Stroll posted a personal best in Q1 for the day just after Hamilton had crossed the line to claim the last spot in the Q2 field.
It’s the first time that Hamilton has failed to make the second round of qualifying since the Brazil Grand Prix in 2017.
Sunday after Houthis rebels in Yemen attacking an Aramco oil depot in the city, several miles away from the Jeddah street circuit on Friday morning.
