WALLOON REGION, BELGIUM, JUL 25 – Lewis Hamilton spun at the final corner due to rear tire lock-up and will start 18th in the sprint race, marking his first career spin in sprint qualifying, officials said.

- In the final sector, Lewis Hamilton locked up the rear tires at the Bus Stop chicane and spun into the runoff area, a mistake he summed up simply as `I spun.`
- Despite the frustration, Lewis Hamilton admitted he was `massively frustrated` by the early exit, adding `So hopefully tomorrow will be better`.
- Starting P18 for Saturday’s sprint, Lewis Hamilton faces an uphill battle to score points only given to the top eight, and he said he felt no improvements and `to be there is not great`.
