168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s “disastrous” sprint qualifying performance at the F1 Austrian Grand Prix has been put down to losinꦬg crucial tim𒁃e in traffic on his final lap.

Hamilton secured sixth on the grid for the Saturday sprint race, qualifying 0.2s behind Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

The seven-time world champion endured a scrappy qualifying session at the Red Bull Ring, narrowly making it through in SQཧ1 after making a mistake on his first medium tyre effort.

It was a similar story on his final run as he ran wide at Turn 3,ꦗ costing himself crucial lap time.

Reflecting on the session, Hamilton said: “I wasn’t in the mix, in the whole session. It was pretty disastrous f💟rom my point of view.💦 What can I say? Practice felt good, the car generally felt good.

“I don’t think we had the pace for pole. But, very 🐎bad laps…”

However, it appears Hamilton lost even more time behind Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.

Leclerc was out of sync after an ✱anti-stall issue kept him in the pit lane longer than ♌expected.

This meant🃏 that Leclerc’s out-lap crossed with Hamilton’s best lap, resulting in the latter being affected by the turbulent air i♐nto the final couple of corners.

When analysin꧙g Hamilton’s SQ3 effort, Sky’s Anthony Davidson felt Leclerc cost Hamilton a𝕴round two-tenths.

“As Lewis said himself, it wasn’t plain-sailing. Not all of it was on his shoulders, some of it was out of his control,” Davidson eꦅxplained.

“You can see he is catching the Ferrari. He is 💜definitely going to be in turbulence through Turn 9 and particularly 10, so you are losing valuable tenths of a second.

“It’s hard to absolutely quantify th🀅e right amount. Probably tw♕o tenths, I’d say, is what you could lose in those two corners.

“There is nothing he could have done ෴because Lecl🅷erc was out of position.”

It was still a positive day fo🎃r Mercedes though as George Russell qualified fourth.

It means Mercedes’ recent resur🃏gence continues following an upturn in form since the Canadian Grand Prix.

Davidson feels like there’s more to come from Mercedes during the remainder of the weeke🅺nd.

“The car has clearly got pace, as Russe♔ll proved,” he added. “It’s a good thing. It’s nice to hear Mercedes disappointed, f🐎or once, that they’re not right at the sharp end.

“It wasn’t too long ago that they would have taken a result like this. O🌞nwards and upwards for Lewis. There is more from the car.

“༺Like Toto said, getting out of sync from the word go, with that rally-style moment at Turn 1, really went against him from the beginnಞing. I feel like the car can have more pace for tomorrow and Sunday.”
