Lewis Hamilton endured his worst qualifying for seven years as he qualified 19th-fastest at the US Grand Prix. Mercedes driver Hamilton, who only has six races left before he joins Ferrari for 2025, left it late in Q1 to set his flying lap.

As Formula One returned to action following almost a month long hiatus following the Singapore Grand Prix, 7-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton is not having the best of weekends as he made an early exit in qualifying.

Saturday, however, was a different story for Lewis Hamilton. The Mercedes driver and seven-time champion was shockingly eliminated in Q1 Saturday at the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, and will start Sunday’s main event at the back of the field.
