Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton said he will be taking up the matter with the FIA after his shock Q1 exit during the Belgian GP qualifying.

Hamilton is a five-time winner of the Belgian GP, including last year, when he inherited victory after George Russell’s disqualification. You have to go back to his debut season in 2007 for the last time he finished the race but failed to stand on the podium, crossing the line in fourth place. It’s a track he loves and where he flourishes.

No wins. Nary even a podium finish. And virtually no hope of a championship. Lewis Hamilton is so fed up with his results at Ferrari midway through his first season with the team that he’s taking matters into his own hands.

Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton got eliminated from Q1 at the Belgium Grand Prix after his final lap time was deleted.

“And for me, I refuse for that to be the case with me.” To that end, Hamilton has been providing the entire team with reports on areas where they can improve, including on the marketing side of things. “I’m going the extra mile,” he added during the FIA Press Conference.

Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz called out Adami’s attitude. He claimed that Hamilton’s former engineer at Mercedes, Peter Bonnington, would have handled the situation better.

Formula 1 fans have been reacting on social media after watching Lewis Hamilton's interview on the back of qualifying at the Belgian Grand Prix. It has been a torrid weekend so far for the Ferrari man after he qualified 18th for Saturday's sprint race due to a rare mistake.

Lewis Hamilton made headlines before the Belgian Grand Prix with one of the standout comments of the 2025 Formula 1 season, saying he ‘refuses’ to leave Ferrari without winning a world championship. Hamilton noted that Ferrari have had ‘amazing’ drivers like Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso during their title drought.
