168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton reckons he had the pace to “easily” finish inside the top five in the F1 Dutch Grand Prix had he qualified higher.

The seven-time world champion suffered a shock Q2 eꦬlimination at Zandvoort after only setting the 12th-fastest time in qualifying. To make matters worse, he received a three-place grid drop for impeding Red Bull’s Sergio Perez in Q1.

But Hamilton impressively battled back to eighth place in what he described as being a “fun” recovery drive, where, at times, he was the fastest driver on tꦍrack.

“If I just qualified like I should’ve qualified and if I didn’t have a problem in qualifying, then yeah [I would have finished higher],” he told me🌳dia at Zandvoort, where are in the paddock.

“I think I had the pace today to easily, definitely [finish] in the top☂ 5. If I started fourth for example then I would’ve finished at least fourth.”

Ha🍨milton was one of three drivers who started on the soft tyre, 🍎which he took full advantage of to make up early ground. He then switched onto hards, before utilising a free pit stop to take another set of softs.

The 39-year-old Briton was catching tꦆeammate George Rus🐟sell in the closing stages but ultimately had to settle with eighth.

“We planned to do a two stop and started on the soft, it was a ไvery good tyre,” Hamilton explained. “The soft tyre felt better than the medium tyre on p🎃ractice day.

“The hard tyre was fairly decent, it was really difficult to see what I needed to do♊ whether to push – I was on a two – so trying to use up the tyre but wasn’t sure whether or not we might go for a one.

“I had a bit of a lock up which meant I had to stay on my strategy. Probably if I’d have done one stop I mi🦹ght have managed it a bit better, maybe finish one place ahead.”
