Lewis Hamilton’s qualifying woes; 1-6 down to George Russell heading to Monaco
"Maybe Le𝕴wis is placing more emphasis on his car’s race set-up?"

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s poor qualifying results have been debated as F1 heads to Monaco.
The F1 Monaco Grand Prix is infamously oftenꩲ ‘won on a Saturday’𒀰 with qualifying around the street circuit more crucial than ever.
But, Hamilton has outperformed Me﷽rcedes teammate George Russell just once in seven qualifyin🙈g attempts this season.
“That’s a question for Hamilton,” Sky Sports’ Carig Slater said🌄 in Monaco.
“He is 6-1 🌠dow♓n to Russell in qualifying this year.
“Does it reflect♐ where Mercedes are at, at the moment? Maybe Lewis is placing more emphasis on his car’s race set-up?
“Does it reflect, maybe, that F𒅌ormula 1 these days isn’t so dependent on qualifying? These new cars a🤡re much more capable of overtaking?
“Sho🧸uld we also reflect on the races before last year’s summer break...
“Lewis had a run of six qualifying victories - if we can call it that -ꦏ over Russell in a season which ended, ultimately, with both drivers on parity.
“Or, is it a sign that at the age of 39, Lewis is less of a great qualif♏ier and maybe more of an expe🌺rt racer, these days?
“Maybe his skills are more over a race distance.
“It’s an interesting question…
“Qualifying is vital here. This hasn’t been the happiest hunting♎ ground for Lewis.
“Only three victories in what has been such an illustriouܫs ༒career.
“He has more points at Monaco than any other driver. Even if you con🥃vert previous points systems to the current one, he still comes out💜 on top.
“It is going to be inter🧸esting this weekend. I𝄹t would give him great satisfaction, not only to outqualify Russell but to qualify as high as possible. It is always key to the race itself.”
Hamil꧅ton endured particular🍬 struggles in qualifying at the Miami round.
But heading into this weekend’s showpiece event (which is also a home race for Monaco resident🅘s Hamilton, Russell and Toto W🌞olff), he will be keen to lay down a marker to his younger teammate.
With overtaking notoriously challenging on a Sunday at the Principality, Hamilton must address a key flaw to his season if he has any chance of a resul♛t worth celebrating this weekend.
