Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc suffer home humiliation in Ferrari qualifying disaster

Ferrari's qualifying effort at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix ended early as both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc exited the session early.

The Italian squad has endured a difficult start to the campaign, with just one podium in six races.

Its chances of adding to that tally at its home event from Imola took a major hit as both drivers are set to start the session outside the top 10.

Leclerc could only manage 11th at the end of Q2, while Hamilton's best effort was one and a half tenths behind - leaving him in 12th. 

Sunday will mark Hamilton's lowest starting position on the grid since joining the Italian squad at the start of the year.

There was another surprise exit in the drop zone as local favourite Kimi Antonelli failed to progress out of the session.

The Mercedes rookie is due to commence the race weekend in 13th - his second non-top 10 start of the season.
