Lewis Hamilton says the b💙rake issue that disrupted his second practice at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has been “a big 🐼issue all year”.

Hamilton complained about his brakes throughout FP2 at📖 Imola on Friday.

He voiced his conc🦄erns over team radio: “These brakes in mode warm up are horrendous. Mate... it’s not braking”.

In a separate radio🍰 message, he complained about 🅺the brakes again: “These damn brakes, mate. Ugh, these brakes are a problem.”

Hamilton ended the session 11th fastest, 0.6s off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s best time.

Reflecting on his Friday, Hamilton said: “P1 was good. I was really, really happy with the car in P1. It felt like we had made a step forward. I w﷽a♈s feeling really positive.

“I literally changed like two of the tiniest things that shouldn’t have had barely any effect at all - the smallest change I💙’ve probably done this year. I had some brake issues that made a massive difference.

“That was then a fight with that. That’s been quite a big issue𓄧 all year actually. I’ve never experienced that before so th🀅at’s a new thing for me this year.”

Hamilton confirmed that the ongoing brake🍌 problems aren’t linked to the fact he’s using Brembo brakes at Ferrari, rather than Carbꦛon Industrie (what he used at Mercedes).

“No. It’s not the transition. It’s the pe෴rforman♌ce,” he clarified.

When asked if 🤡it could be fixed, Hamilton🃏 replied: “I mean it’s a lottery. We will roll the dice and you put one on and it works, and you put another one and it doesn’t.

“We will see. I hope tomorrow ꦿwe figure something out. We’re working on it.

Leclerc rules out pole challenge

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc returned to the paddock f♌or practice after missing Thursday’s media day through illness.

After struggling in FP1, Lecle𒀰rc fared better in the second session, ending the day in sixth.

“The whole FP1 was very tricky. We’ve had some different problems,” Leclerc𝔍 explained.

“FP2 we put everything together a bit more and it was feeling better on my side. But still, we’re lackin🥀g performance. We know. Our weak point at the moment is the qualifying pace and we still need to work on that.”

Leclerc ruled out challen💯ging the McLarens for 🦩pole.

“To go and take pole, honestly I don’t think we’ve got it in the carꦍ for now but the race pace was strong so that’s positive,” Leclerc added.

“But [it’s] also a track where overtaking is very difficult, so we’ve got to focus on our qualifying pace, tha🅰t’s where we are putting all our effort into.”
