US EditionHamilton 'Devastated' as Ferrari Hit New Quali Low
- Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc failed to advance past Q2 in the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix qualifying at Imola on Saturday, finishing 12th and 11th respectively.
- The disappointing performance stemmed from the SF-25 car hitting a performance ceiling and tyre issues that affected Ferrari more than rivals like Aston Martin, who reached the top 10 on medium tyres.
- Both drivers expressed strong dissatisfaction, with Leclerc calling the result "painful" in front of home fans and Hamilton describing himself as "devastated" despite feeling the car had better balance and brakes.
- Hamilton expressed deep disappointment that they couldn’t advance further, while Leclerc was at a loss for words regarding Ferrari’s performance and seemed pessimistic about his prospects for Sunday.
- The qualifying setback intensified pressure on Ferrari, fourth in the constructors' standings, with team boss Fred Vasseur calling it a disappointing session and confirming an upgrade for the Spanish Grand Prix in two weeks.
