Following his disastrous result at the Dutch Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has set an unwanted record as a Ferrari driver.
The seven-time world champion has endured a difficult stint behind the wheel at the Italian squad this year following his highly anticipated switch from Mercedes.
Hamilton has largely been unable to match the pace of team-mate Charles Leclerc and currently finds himself sixth in the drivers' championship.
He faced another setback last Sunday at Zandvoort as a mistake during the race saw him spin into the barrier on lap 23.
Hamilton is still awaiting his first podium in red, and he has now set the unfortunate record of having the most grand prix starts (15) without a top-three finish in Ferrari's history.
The 40-year-old is also closing in on another unwanted Ferrari record, currently held by Didier Pironi.
Pironi, who has six Ferrari podiums to his name, waited the longest time of any driver in Ferrari's history before securing his first podium for the team.
Should Hamilton fail to score a podium in the coming four grands prix, he will make that record his own.
