Lewis Hamilton left questioning if “tough” 0.8s gap to pole is Mercedes’ true speed
Lewis Hamilton has assessed Mercedes' ongoing competitive struggles after qualify💖ing 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 Mia𝕴mi Grand Prix is a true reflection of Mercedes’ spee🌺d.
Mercedes drivers 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell and Hamilton could only take seventh and eighth in qualifying in Miami in the ﷽team’s latest underwhelming perf𒆙ormance.
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 are being hampered by t♉yre str🀅uggles.
Hamilton was a promising tꦗhird-quickest in Q2 but ended up “nowhere” in the final part of qualifying.
"The track temperatur♓e was pretty similar the whole way through and the grip of the track felt really good,” Hamilton said.
"These tyres are so sensitive. Trying to get the tyres to work and deliver the maximum potential throughout the 🐟whole lap is something we struggle with.
"Then we had that glimpse of hope in Q2 then in ✱Q3 we were nowhere.”
Hamilton suggested Mercedes’ tyre troubles are potentially masking the ✤genuine speed of their W15 challenger.
"Generally, it's been a much better day,” he added. “We went forwards in the Sprint 𓄧and then Qualifying, getting into Q3 was positive.
"Q3 ✱just🌺 wasn't really great but I'm grateful to get into there.
"For us to be eighth tenths off is tough. We are fighting the Haas and I🌺 don't really know if that's the true speed 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 able to use them all y🍸ear."
