Hamilton could only qualify sixth for Sunday’s race, while teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell was eighth overall.

The seven-time world champion looked like he was going to be in the fight for pole after a late surge in Q2, topping th𒐪e timesheets.

Speaking after qualifying, Hamilton conceded that the “peaky” nature of this year’s Mercedes made it difficult to extract the maximum 🃏from the car in qualifying. 

“I have been struggling all weeওkend with this car. The car has been a bit of a nig♍htmare to drive, it just doesn’t like this track. 

“We made some good changes going into qualifyi👍ng, much, much happier witꦕh the car. I wish we did it this morning but then Q1 and Q2, we weren’t looking too bad, Q3, the second lap was great but the car is just really peaky. 

“Sometimes it works, sometimes it ༺doesn’t so I wasn’t able to extract much more from it again. I think in a perfect world I could have been fifth but that’s about it.”

Hamilton 🍰is predicting a challenging race for Mercedes.

“It’s going to be a real challenge with our car tomorrow,” he added. “We’ve got overheating, brakes 🐎overheating, it’s going to be very hard for us to battle for sure.

“I don’t know what kind of race we’re going to have b𓃲ut it’s going to be on the knife-edge.”
