Lewis Hamilton will start Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix from 18th place, after enduring his worst qualifying season in seven years. The seven-time world champion is the most successful F1 driver at the Shanghai International Circuit but made a very costly error in Q1 at Turn 14. Hamilton ran deep into the corner which cost him several tenths of a second, resulting in a shocking Q1 elimination. There was some delight for Hamilton ahead of qualifying in the first sprint race of 2024, as he finished in second. He does have some pace but recovering from 18th will be difficult. Will he score a point? Have your vote below!
