Hamilton was too greedy over the top of the hill with the kerb, with all four wheels going just over the white line and costing him dearly.

The British 40-year-old had the pace and was on track to finish in seventh, which would have comfortably seen him through to Q2.

On his team radio, Hamilton said: “Is everything okay?”

To which his race engineer Riccardo Adami said: “Track limits at turn 4.”

Hamilton asked: “Am I out?”

Adami finished with: “Yeah, lap time is deleted.”

It comes after he qualified in 18th for the sprint race on Friday before finishing the race today in 15th.

He spun off track in the sprint qualifying after locking up, leaving him unable to complete his lap.

He said: “I spun… There’s not much to say.

“Tomorrow’s a new day. Obviously I’m massively frustrated… Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.”

Hamilton’s woes in Spa came after the British driver held crunch talks with Ferrari chiefs ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix.

He prepared documents and held a number of meetings following his fourth-place Silverstone finish.

Hamilton remains without a Grand Prix podium after 12 races, although he did win the China sprint and finish third in the shorter Miami race.

Ferrari has not won a title of any kind since the Constructors’ Championship in 2008, while their last drivers’ title was with Kimi Raikkonen in 2007.

Hamilton said: “The team have had amazing drivers – Fernando [Alonso], Sebastian [Vettel] – and yet they didn’t win a title with Ferrari.

“I refuse for that to be the case with me, that’s why I am going the extra mile. If you take the same path, you get the same results.”
