Hamilton's Ferrari issues continue with another early exit in Qatar

The seven-time world champion was once again eliminated before reaching the final part of the session after finishing 18th in Sprint Qualifying.

Adding to his points tally will therefore be difficult in Saturday's Sprint, as only the top eight will be awarded with points.

Charles Leclerc finished SQ1 in P13.
