Lewis Hamilton was downbeat after Friday practice for the F1 Saudi Arabian Gran🔯d Prix, admitting he’s “just seeing if I can get in the top 10 at the moment”.

Hamilton s💦truggled for pace in Friday practi🍌ce at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

Hami✤lton could only set the 13th-fastest time in the more representative second session.

The seven-time world champion was over six-tenths slower than Ferrari teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, who was fourth in the order.

Looking ahead to qualify🎉ing, Hamilton set an underwhelming target to get into the top 10.

“I don’t know mate. For me, I am just seeing if I can get in the top 10 at t🎶he moment,” Hamilton said.

Fe🐈rrari struggled more on the soꦡft tyre in Friday practice.

After setting the fastest time of anyone o♛n the mediums, Leclerc struggled to improve initially on the soft🥀er rubber.

It 𒁏was a similar story for Hamilton, who found little time on the red-marked tyre.

“Not th🥃eဣ greatest. I think getting the tyres working today was the issue for us,” Hamilton explained.

“It was nothing to do with the team but we were s🦂truggling to get the tyres working.”

Can168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton fix his qualifying woes?

Qualifying has contiꦐnued to be Hamilton’s Achilles' heel since the🌳 start of last year.

Hamilton was annihilated by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell inཧ the qualifying head-to-hea🔯d in 2024, beating Russell just five times across 24 races.

It was the first time in his F1 career since 2014, against Nico Rosberg, where Hamilton was beaten by a teammate in qualifying acros🉐s a whole season. 

Against Leclerc in 2025, he’s only beaten him once,𒀰 out-qualifying him in Shanghai.

Based on F𝓀riday practice, Hamilton will have little chance of beating Leclerc.

When asked about the changes he can make to his Ferrari overnight, Hamilton quipped that he usually “goes backwards” on a Saturday, but given how low he was in the order in FP2, itཧ would be difficult to fall even further back.

“Normally, Saturday goes backwar🐎ds,” Hamilton added. “There’s not a lot of backwards for me to go from where I am. Hopefully overnight we☂ will make some improvements to the car.

“There were a few bꦫits through the session that felt good and just when we get to the soft tyres it’s not there. We will make some changes overnight and hopefully come back stronger🙈.”
