Lewis Hamilton flummoxed by Mercedes pace | ‘Not easy’ being leapfrogged by Williams in F1 Italian GP qualifying
The seven-time world champion could only qualify eighth for Sunday’s grand prix at Monza, two tenths behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, who put his W14 on the seco𒆙nd🐽 row in fourth.
Hamilton was left p﷽erplexed as to why the pace of his Mercedes W14 has “fallen off” since first practice on Friday.
“Not the greatest,” Hamilton said of his qualifying. “It started off actually in Pꦰ1, run𒉰 one, it was the best the car felt but it’s fallen off since then.”
Asked why🌳 he felt that was♍, the 38-year-old Briton replied: “I don’t know.”
Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, Alex Albon’s Williams and the McLaren of Oscar Piastri split the two Mercedes, and Hamilton admitted it will be hard to over൩take the cars ahead given their straightline speed.
“I think we are all similar pace,” Hamilton said. “What’s impressive is how quick the ဣWilliams is - to be leapfrogged by the Williams and McLaren so it’s not easy.
“George did a g♎reat job♕ today so I just go to progress somehow. The Williams will be impossible to overtake as they’re fastest on the straights but when there’s a will there’s a way.”
