168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton was left mystified by his pace drop-off in qualifying for the F1 Canadian Grand Prix while his Mercedes teammate168澳洲5最新开奖结果: George Russell claimed pole.

Seven-t🔯ime worldꦐ champion Hamilton topped final practice with a blistering lap and the Mercedes pair looked favourites to take pole, and possibly secure a rare front-row lockout in Montreal.

Russell did go on to snatch pole ahead of Red Bull’s168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen, but Hamilton could only manage seventh afterꩲ his pace dramatically fell away in Q3. 

It marked the first ti𒆙me in Hamilton's career th🌠at he has not qualified inside the top five in Canada. 

Ha🌼milton was baffled by his drop-off in performance, explaining the grip he had felt in his W15 earlier in the💖 day just “vanished”.

"The car was feeling great all weekend and as s🎶oܫon as we got to qualifying, that kind of vanished for me," Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.

"The grip j🎃ust disappear🍒s for me. P3, I had plenty of pace in me, and then get to qualifying and the tyres won't work.

"Nothing had changed on the car.”

Hamilton and Russell were boosted by furthe💯r Mercedes upgrades to the W15 this weekend, with both drivers praising the team’s step forward.

"Congratulations to George for ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚa great job. It's really great for the team,” Hamilton added.

"Obviously, everyone🃏 has worked so hard 𒐪to bring upgrades back at the factory, so this will be a real huge boost for everyone back at the factory.”

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff was also at a loss to🌳 explain why H💫amilton’s session had unraveled.

"It seemed that Lewis was actually having the upper hand and both♉ cars comfortably beating everyone," Wolff told Sky Sports F1.

"And then at the end, it got s🐻o tight, also for George, and Lewis - the time didn't show up. We can't com🔥prehend at the moment why it wasn't a little bit more in our favour."
