168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton believes McLaren could have comfortably won the F1 Italian G♛rand Prix had they “backed off” and man♒aged their tyres.

McLaren were unable to convert their front row start at Monza into a race victory as they were out-foxed by Ferrari and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri led teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris after the first round of s💦tops, with Leclerc clos𝓀e behind.

However, after his off-track moment at Turn 4, McLaren switched Norris to a two-stop strategy before doing thﷺe same with Piastri.

This handed Leclerc track position and ultimately the victor♑y at Monza.

Giving his view on the race afterwards, Hamilton suggested McLaren should have won had they simply 🔯reduced their pace early on.

“McLaren had the pace but pushed too hard,” Hamilton explained. “They were doing much too fast laps, early on. They 🔯killed their tyres.

“I guess they planned for a two-stop, that’s why they were pushing so hard. If they backed o🍬ff longer they could’ve made a one-stop.

“I was getting the information about the times༒ they were doing. There is no way the tyres would last, at that pace. Charles d🅺id a fantastic job, well done to him.”

In terms o⛄f Hamilton’s race, he secured fifth, beatiꦉng the two Red Bulls and teammate George Russell.

It was a relatively straightfo✤rward race for Hamilton g♏iven he didn’t have the pace of the top two teams.

Hamilton revealed Me♛rcedes planned to do a one-stop bꦛut struggled with tyre degradation.

“We were pl🔯anning to do a one-stop but my tyres were droppingꦚ off, just trying to hold onto Carlos,” he added.

“Definite𒐪ly u🤪nexpected. But they had an upgrade so it was inevitable that they would be quick compared to us.

“I wish 💎we were in the fight but onwards and upwards.”

Mercedes missing an upgrade

Hamilton feels that Mercedes’ lack of pace relative to Ferrari was due to the fact the Italian outfit had an ext♓ensive upgrade for this weekend.

“The only positive is that we have good reliability, but everyone around us did too,” he said. “Ultimately we didn’t have the race𝓰 pa𒐪ce. I am not sure why.

“Even if I started further ahead, it would’ve been hard. If I was ahead of the Ferraris they would h𒊎ave come out ahead because they had more pace than us.

“They had an upgrade this weekend and we didn’t. Thatꩵ’s how it goes. There will be a race where we have an upgrade and they don’t, and we’ll be stronger, hopefully.

“It is very, very fine, small margins between all of us. Unfortunately today we didn’t have the pace, and we had more deg. I could have done a one-stop but I would’ve come out🎀 in the same place.”
