    Lewis Hamilton Subtly Plays Blame Game After Shock Q2 Exit at Azerbaijan GP Qualifying

    Lewis Hamilton had a disappointing end to Qualifying at the Azerbaijan GP. The seven-time world seemed to have decent pace at the start of the session. However, the Briton failed to even make it to the top 10. Now, Hamilton has hinted that he was not to be blamed for this result.

    The Ferrari driver hoped to have a decent run in Baku this weekend after marginal improvements in Monza. However, the 2025 season seems to be brutal for Lewis Hamilton. In Q2, the seven-time world champion failed to put in a decent lap to even make it to the top 10. Lewis Hamilton will start the race from P12, behind teammate Charles Leclerc who starts in P10.

    Following the session, Lewis Hamilton asserted that he was not going to take the blame for his exit. The 40-year-old did not directly name any other factor for his result. Though it seems that the British driver might be trying to play the blame game towards Ferrari.

    I don’t feel [Q2 elimination] down to my driving.
    Lewis Hamilton said post-qualifying

    Lewis Hamilton revealed that he wanted to have a run on the medium tire in Qualifying. Though Ferrari informed the 40-year-old that the tire would likely not work due to warm-up issues. This ultimately led to the Briton losing time and fuel, ending his session.

    I wanted [a medium] but they said the warm up was too long or something like that so I ran out of time and ran out of fuel.
