“I’m not very good. Simpl🔯e as,” a gutted Hamilton s🍷aid afterwards. “Simple as that…

“I am just not very good at qualifying.”

The inte🌼rview responded: “But you haven’t just sud﷽denly got bad?”

Hamilton s🍌aid: “I clearly have. I can’t put a lap together. It’s unbelievably frustrating.

“I’ll keep working at it. That’s all I can do.”

Hamilton has already ruled out victory🔯 in Sunday’s grand prix.

Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Russell, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sain💛z are the five drivers who will line up ahead of hi💝m.

Max Verstappen wilꩵl be seventh, a place behind Hamilton.

But despite the promise of a positive w🌄eekend after Friday’s pace, a miserable Saturda💯y might again have cost Hamilton.

Qualifying has become a rare Achilles’ heel for the seven-tim♓e F1 champion.

That is despite Hamilton having an all-time record 104 pole posi✅tio🍒ns.

Meanwhile, teammate Russell was delighted with Saturday at Monꦯza.

“Ending up P3 is🔥 a little bit better than I expected,”🌌 he said.

“It was a really tough session, Q1 and Q2, and﷽ fortunately we saved it until the end. We’re not too far behind the McLarens; they’r🧔e so fast at the moment.

“We’re worki🐓ng so hard to catch them up, but I’m super happy with third𒅌.

“I think it’s go🦄ing to be a tight battle. Everybody’s so close out there. It’s so exꦚciting for F1.

“We’ve all been waiting for this competition and knowing if you do a great job, you’ve got a chance o🔜f victory🍒. I’m pretty pumped.

“I’ll get some nice pizza tonight ღto fuel me up and a bit of extra weight, so not too light tomorrow! Hopefully we can fight for a good result.”
