Ferrari's qualifying effort at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix ended
early as both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc exited the session
early. The Italian squad has endured a difficult start to the
campaign, with just one podium in six races. Its chances of adding
to that tally at its home event from Imola took a major hit as both
drivers are set to start the session outside the top 10. Leclerc
could only manage 11th at the end of Q2, while Hamilton's best
effort was one and a half tenths behind - leaving him in 12th.
Sunday will mark Hamilton's lowest starting position on the grid
since joining the Italian squad at the start of the year. There was
another surprise exit in the drop zone as local favourite Kimi
Antonelli failed to progress out of the session. The Mercedes
rookie is due to commence the race weekend in 13th - his second
non-top 10 start of the season.
