Lewis Hamilton suffered a rare and unexpected spin during sprint qualifying at the Belgian Grand Prix, leaving him 18th on the grid. The seven-time world champion called it a first in his career and expressed deep frustration. F1 pundit Martin Brundle cleared Hamilton of fault, pointing to a rear axle failure under braking as the likely cause. Despite high hopes at one of his favourite tracks, Hamilton struggled throughout the session. He remains hopeful for a better race day.
