Hamilton was disqualified after the qualifying session for the 2021 Brazilian sprint race due to an infringement found on the rear wing of his car, stripping him of his P1 starting position and instead forcing him to start from the back of the grid.

Hamilton qualified almost a second behind polesitter Oscar Piastri and six tenths behind Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc.
