It was a familiar story for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as he struggled for tyre t𒆙emperature in qualifying.

Hamilton could only secure seventh on the grid in Baku, 0.4s off Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

It continued Hamilton’s difficulties on a Saturday, meaning ♔he’s now lost the teammate head-﷽to-head to Russell.

It’s just the second time in his F1 career, after 2014, he’s lost a teaไmmate head-to-head in qualifying💯.

Hamilton was brief in his anal🌱ysis after qualifying.

He told Sky Sports: “Same Saturday as always.”

When pressed on the issues he faced♑, Hamilton added: “Same thing that happens every Saturday.

“Yesterday the car was amazing, felt great. Honestly, I thi꧑nk it could have been at least second row today. Came today, the tyr🐷es didn’t work all day.”

Sky Sports pundit Bernie Collins feels like Hamilton was c💦aught out by the dro🥂p in track temperature.

She explai🎶ned that while Mercedes tried different things with their outlaps, Hamilton is “potentially more sensitive” to track conditions.

Collins said: 𒊎“I think four-tenths off George, he will be really unhappy with that because the first person you’re compared to is your teammate.

“Sure the conditions have changed and he did complain a lot through the s✤ession about the tyre temperature. I think they played it a little bit with outlap and the traffic they had. They didn’t get it all together.

“That is difficult to do thr♛ough this qualifying. Particularly in Q3, the track temperature took a big dip.

“I think that’s what maybe caught Lewis out - he’ꦆs potentially more sensitive to that potentially as George got away with it.”
