Lewis Hamilton left questioning if “tough” 0.8s gap to pole is Mercedes’ true speed
Lewis Hamilton has assessed Mercedes' ongoing competitive struggles after qualifying🍨 in Miami.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton is unsure if the eight-tenth gap to pole position at the F1 Miami Grand Prix is a truꦆe ൩reflection of Mercedes’ speed.
Mercedes drivers 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell and Ham🐎ilton could only take seventh and eighth in qualifying i🎃n Miami in the team’s latest underwhelming performance.
Both Russell and Hamilton were over eight tenths adrift of Red Bull’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen but the seven-time world champion thinks Mercedes a🅰re being hampered by tyre strug꧟gles.
Hamilton was a promis♏ing third-quickest in Q2 but ended up “nowhere” in the final part of qualifying.
"The track temperature was pretty similar the whole way through and the grip of the track felt really good,” Hamilton saidꦉ.
"These tyres are so sensitive. Trying t♌o get the tyres to work and deliver the maximum potential throughout the whol♎e lap is something we struggle with.
"Then we had that glimpse of hope in Q2 then in Q3 we were nowher💛e.”
Hamilton suggested Mercedes’ tyre troubles are potentially masking the genuine s✃peed of their W15 challenger.
"Generally, it's been a much better day,” he added. “We went forwards in the Sprint and then Qualifying, gettin♛g into Q3 was positive.
"Q💙3 just wasn't really great bu♋t I'm grateful to get into there.
"For us to be eighth tenths off is tougꦿh. We are fighting the Haas and I don't really know if that's the true spe♉ed of our car or whether it's the tyres.
"I think there's a lot in these tyres that we are struggling to... we have not been a꧒ble to use🧸 them all year."
