Hamilton Joins Baddeer and Fisichella in Unwanted Qualifying Record at Ferrari

At this moment, the qualification for the Qatar Grand Prix is taking place in Lusail, Qatar. After the first segment of qualifying, the seven-time world champion and British Ferrari driver, Lewis Hamilton, found himself in a disappointing 18th position.

At the previous event in Las Vegas, Hamilton also couldn’t advance beyond the first segment of qualifying, finishing last in that round.

Championat is providing a live online broadcast of the Qatar Grand Prix qualifying.

Consequently, Hamilton has become the third driver in recent history to fail to progress from the first qualifying segment in back-to-back instances. The two previous occurrences happened during the 2009 Formula 1 season when the injured Felipe Massa was replaced in succession by Italians Luca Badoer and Giancarlo Fisichella.
