The Belgian Grand Prix sprint was one to quickly forget for Lewis Hamilton who suffered a qualifying shocker in his Ferrari which scuppered his chances of points

The seven-time world champion has broken his silence on an incident that occurred during the Belgian GP sprint qualifying.

Lewis Hamilton became “complacent” during his “easy” championship-winning years at Mercedes, with his move to Ferrari for F1 2025 bringing a “big shock” to the system. That is the claim of Jacques Villeneuve, the 1997 World Champion, who reckons the seven-time World Champion “needs a helping hand to get his mojo back.”

For Hamilton, who joined Ferrari in 2025 aiming to fight for wins and titles, the result was a bitter setback. Ferrari’s early elimination in SQ1 added to the unwanted record books, especially as the team had never before been knocked out in the first segment of a Sprint Qualifying session.
