After suffering his first Q1 exit in two years, Hamilton revealed he had made big changes to his car after finishing second to Red Bull’s168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen in Saturday morning’s sprint race.
“I just struggled. I made massive cܫhanges into qualifying. It wasn’t to▨o bad in some places. I couldn’t stop in Turn 14. It is what it is,” Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.
"This morning, George and I had very similar cars🍬, but this aftern♈oon we’re trying to experiment still with the car so I went one way a long way and he went the other way just to see if we could find anything.
"That’✅s what we need to do at the moment but it didn’t work. I’ll give it my best shot…18th is pretty꧋ bad.
“When I was making the set-up changes I was like ‘it can’t get any worse, surely’ and it did. S*** h𒅌appens."

“Each time he s𒆙ays that, George says: ‘The ꦚlast time I checked, the cars are pretty similar…’
“He has gone again, for that. So it’s interestin🍨g.”
