It marked the third weekend in a row that seven-time world champiꦜon Hamilton has been out-performed by his teammate in qualifying.

After th🅘e session,🍬 Russell was asked why he is having a different experience to Hamilton in Mercedes’ W15.

"I'm just focused on myself and my tea𓆏m and trying to maximise it,” Russell replied.

"I can't really comment on Lewis' feeling.🎉 Ultimately, we are not quite where we want to be.

"From my side, I feel a bit more confidence and consistency with the car. We🐷 know we need to improve in the h♍igh-speed corners and on this track there are quite a few of those,” Russell added.

"I think we will be in a much better place tomorrow whenಌ we have more fuel in the car and the pace is a little slo🍷wer from everybody. But this circuit is not playing to our strengths.”

Speaking to F1TV, Hamilton conceded: “I don’t know if I’m dealing with that great. I mean, lesಌs consistent than George.

“George is doing a better job with our car, thr🌼ee qualifyings in a row thaℱt he’s out-qualified me. He just seems to get on a lot better than I do.

“I’m just try🐲ing to keep my head above water and j💎ust continue to realise how it could be way worse.”
