"Thursday, was really good. Me and 🦩George were on the same set-ups but he went 'left' and I went 'right'. 'Right' was definitely not good for a single lap but🦋 I felt more comfortable with more fuel, so I hope that reflects in the race," Hamilton explained.
"I've definitely sacrificed more than I hoped to and I hope it pays off. It's a lot of work to do to get past all those quick cars ahead of me but i♓t will be fun.”

ဣ“I don’t really know the big differences, to be honest, because as far as I’m aware with the cars we’re pre🥀tty similar.
“I don’t really focus too much on his set-up. Mine w✃as actually more set up for the race than the set-up he ran. At least it wꦚas on Friday [for qualifying].”
Hamilton reported several issues during the race including power issues 🐻and a broken seat.
“For a while like my battery was dead, so down the straights I was just derating th🔯e whole way down the straight,” he explained.
“S🔴o I lost a lot of ground to the McLarens. I was fixing that out for some laps, and th𝓀at took a good 10 laps, and I lost plenty of seconds through that.
“And then, after that, was just really trying to 🎀get back on it, and catch up, as soon we got that fixed. And then there was a bit of overheating of the brakes. And then in general, the performance was so-so.”
