168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has labelled his Mercedes F1 car “a nightmare” after suffering a shock Q1 elim꧅in𒈔ation at the United States Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion had a terrible day at a t🌄rack he usually excels at and could only set a time good enough for 19th, marking ꧃his worst-ever qualifying performance at COTA.

Hamilton locked up under braking and 🃏went deep at Turn 12, a mistake which cost him half a second, and led to his worst qualifying result of the 2024 campaign.

After the session, Hamilton revealed he had “some sort of failure” in 🥂Saturday afternoon’s sprint race which for💟ced Mercedes to change the set-up of his W15.

“In the sprint, we had some sort of failure from the for🦋mation lap on the front suspension and had that throughout the sprint race,” he explained.

“Thaﷺt made the balance really difficult. We did change a couple of things. Itꦗ pushed us in the direction of what we would have done yesterday. The car was a nightmare in qualifying.”

Hamilton is due to sta🤡rt 18th with RB’s Liam Lawson set to serve a back of the grid penal♚ty for taking on a complete new power unit.

However, Hamilton indicated he is keen to start from th☂e pit l𓆏ane so further set-up changes can be made to his car.

“I should probably star﷽t from the pit lane, otherwise I won't be going anywhere,” Ham𒁏ilton added.

When𒊎 asked what he was struggling with, Hamilto♌n replied: “It’s just a very inconsistent balance and no grip.”

It is the first time in 12 attempts that Hamilton has failed to qualify inside the top five at Austin in regular gra༒nd prix 🧸qualifying. He has three pole positions at the circuit.

Hamilton qualꩵified only seventh ꦏfor the Austin sprint and finished the race sixth.
