F1 Hungarian GP: The major issue that cost Lewis Hamilton a shot at pole
Hamilton qualified seventh for Sunday’s race at the Hungaroring after ꦬhe was forced to abandon his final lap due toꦿ an issue with his rear wing.
His DRS failed to open meaning he lꦺost crucial lap time in the first sector of tꩲhe lap.
On the other side of the garage, 168澳洲🦂5最新开奖结果:Ge✃orge Russell claimed a shock pole position, leaving Hamilton even more frustrated about what🐠 was possible withoutཧ the issue.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff apologis🧸ed to Hamilton after qualifying over tea🌳m radio: “Sorry for the f***-up with the DRS.”
Speaking afterwards, Hamilton vowed to support Russell’s efforts o𓂃n race day.
“I just had my DRS not working, otherwise huge congratulations to George, it’s an amazing feeling to get the first pol🦋e position, and it is huge for the team, we don’t know where the pace all of a sudden came from, it came from nowhere, that’s a huge posit😼ive.
“I’ll do what I can tomorrow to support him, he 🗹should be able to win from that position at this track, and I’ll try and work my way up.”
Hamilton 🐈believes he could have challenged for pole position without his DRS failure.
“For sure, for sure. It’s definitely… frustrating to final𝄹ly after all the struggles that we had not be able to fight for the fro☂nt row and do it but they’ll be other times.
“I don’t know where our race pace is gonna be now because yesterday we were slow in both, but maybe all of a sudden we found something, if we have great, and if t෴hat’s for both of us hopefully we can attack tomorrow.”
‘Bittersweet’ for Wolff
Wolff conceded that it was “bittersweet” for Mercedes after squandering potentially their f🤡irst front-row lockout since Saudi Arabia last year.
“In these moments you want to cry of joy for the pol🎉e position but equally you know the car was good for him to🅘 be there as well so very, very bittersweet.”
