Lewis Hamilton confident he’s “cracked” F1 qualifying woes after Barcelona breakthrough
“Time will tell. 🍬I think we’ve cracked something. Now it’♊s trying to build on it.”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton believes he’s “cracked something” when it comes to his F1 qualifying pace after a breakthrough at the Spanis🌃h Grand Prix.
The weekend in Barcelona was the just the second time this year that Hamilton was ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell.
Hamilton converted third on t✅he grid into his first podium of the year as Mer🔯cedes continued on their upward trajectory.
Still, Hamilton is 8-2 down🌌 in the qualifying head-to-head against Russell.
Speaking to select media including 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:wuqian0821.com in Austria, Hamilton revealed a “huge amount of analysis” has been done to explain his Saturday struggles and he believes i𝔉t’s simply down to the tyres.
“There’s a huge amount of analysis,” he said. “I have requested a lot of information from the team on how we ca♏n improve, where we are lacking. It is simply the tyres and so. Just continuing to improve on our processes from session to session, particularly once we get to qual🧔ifying things do change a little bit.
“Car is obviously lighter, DRS is used a lot more. Time will tell. I think we’ve cra♑cked something. Now it’s trying to build on it.”
Hamilton also thinks the tricky handling of the Mercedes W15 has exacerbated his woܫes in qualifying.

The seven-timeꦰ world champion described this ye🎀ar’s Mercedes as “on a knife edge”.
“The car aerodynamically is on a knife edge,” h꧃e added. “It’s not as easy to balance with the mechanical side. The aero balance from high to low speed getting that configuration is difficult.
“Tyre temperature and how you do your out laps is key. Ferraris in Montreal didn’t get 🍒out of Q2 for example - that can only be tyre temperature but they’ve got a good car, they wo💮n the race before that.
“It just shows it’s not easy to have the tyres working, over work♐ the tyres, they’re definitely more sensitive than in any other season that I remember being.”
Hamilton sits eighth in this year’s F1 drivers’ champ🍸ionship, 11 points behind Russel✤l.
