It was a familiar story for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as 💫he struggled for tyre temperature in qualifying.

Hamilton could only secure seventh on the grid in Baku, 0.4s off Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

It continued Hamilton’s difficulties on a ܫSaturday, meaning he’s now lost the teammate head-to-head to Russell.

It’s just the second time in his F1 career,⛦ after 2014, he’s lost a teammate head-to-head in qualifying.

Hamilton was brief in his analysis after qual🍰ifying.

He told Sky Sports: “Same Saturday as always.”

When🐷 pressed on the issues he f⛄aced, Hamilton added: “Same thing that happens every Saturday.

“Yesterday the car was amazing, felt great. Honestly, I think it could have been at least second row today. Came꧒ today, the tyres didn’t work all day.”

Sky Sports pundit Bernie Collins feels like Hamilton was caught out by the drop in track🉐 temperature.

She explained that while Mercedes tri💙ed di💞fferent things with their outlaps, Hamilton is “potentially more sensitive” to track conditions.

Collins said: “I think four-tenths off George, he will be really unhappy with that because the first person you’re compared🎶 to is🍸 your teammate.

“Sure the conditions have changed and he did complain a lo🦂t through the session about the tyre temperature. I think they played it a little bit with outlap and the traffic they had. They didn’t get i✨t all together.

“That i𓆏s difficult to do through this qualifying. Particularly in Q3, the track temperature took a big dip.

“I think that’s wh🐭at maybe caught Lewis out - he’s potentially more sensitive to that potentially as George got away with it.”
