Lewis Hamilton has been eliminated early from qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, as has Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz. The pair both failed to get through to the final session of the hour, and will line up in P12 and P11 respectively for the race on Sunday. The Spaniard - and Ferrari generally - has struggled this weekend, and lost the entirety of FP2 with a gearbox issue. However, Hamilton's early exit is more damning, as the 39-year-old was considered one of the favourites for pole position. Both will have to fight their way through the pack at Zandvoort, on a track that is not always easy to pass at.
