168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton was downbeat after his latest F1 qualifying defeat at the Monaco Grand Prix to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, claiming he doesn’t expe🥀ct to beat his Mercedes teammate again this year.
After sho🃏wing great pace through practiceღ, Hamilton’s performance fell away in the dying moments of Q3.
Hamilton was beaten yet again by Russell, meaning the younger British driver leads 7-1 in the qual🏅ifying head-to-head.
The seven-time world champion is on a poor run of form, pa🐼rticularly on Saturdays, and is on course to be out-qualified by a teammate for the first time since 2014.
R🦂eflecting on qualifying, 🔴Hamilton was visibly disappointed, citing the fact that Russell had the new front wing as a reason for the difference in their performance.
“For sure, for sure. Great💯, yesterday. We have worked hard to imp🍬rove this car,” he said.
“From the get-go it felt great and we were competit🌺ive yesterday and this morning. We didn’t make any drastic changes. The team worked hard, back at the factory, to bring an upgrade for the past two weekends, and an upgrade here. But we only have one, which George has.
“So I anticipated it would be difficult to out-qualify George because he has the [upgraded] compone�꧂�nt. It’s great to see that we are bringing upgrades.”
Hamilton was incredibly downbeat about his qualifying display, ꧅particularly as he was beaten yet🌄 again by Russell.
The 39-ye🌟ar-old made a remarkable claim where he doesn’t “anticipate” that he will be ahead of Russell at all this year on a Satu❀rday.
“I don’t anticipate being ahead of George in qualifying particular༺ly, this year. We have got to keep pushing,” he commenꦆted.
Hamilton was left perple🔥xed by his lack of qualifying performance relative to practice.
He topped the timesheets in FP1 before finishing in the top three in the other two 💜sessions.
“Once we got to qualifying, I don’t understand,” he added. “I already know automatically that I will lose two tenths, goin🎶g into qualifying. That is definitely frustrating.
“It’s something I haven’t asked for. I am not driving any different. 📖The laps are really great. I don’🎃t know. It’s just lacking, for some reason.”
