Lewis Hamilton delivers worrying “I’m definitely not fast anymore” admission
Lewis Hamilton said he's "🐷definitely not fast anymore" after a poor spri🎉nt qualifying display in Qatar.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has admitted he’s “definitely not fast anymore” after another disappointing F1 sprint qualifying outiꦚng at the Qatar Grand Prix.
Hamilton could only qualify seventh in Qatar, 0.4s off McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.
Worryingly for Hamilton, he was around four-tenths off teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, who put his Merce🌟des on the front row ꦍof the grid.
It continues Hamilton’s disappoin๊ting run of qualifying results - something he’s not been able to get on top of this year ahead of his m𒅌ove to Ferrari next year.
Speaking to F1 TV after qualif🅰ying, Hamilton described his sprin🌜t qualifying display as the “same as every other quali”.
“Same as eveꦦry other quali, not that great,” he said. “I’m just slow. Same every weekend. So… yeah, car felt relatively decent, no issues, not really much more to say.”
Hamilton was then asked about his ch﷽ances in the sprint race: “The long run didn’t feel too bad but when you’re always back where I am it makes it almost impossible pretty much to be competing for wins from there. But that’s the sprint, I’ll do what I can tomorrow.
“The positive is the car is fast. And, George should🔯 be able to shoot for pole tomorro𓂃w.”
The interview concluded with Hamilton being asked: “but we kn🎀ow this isn’t a you ♐thing…”
After mis-hearing the question, the interviewer clarified: “We know this can’t be♑ a y🧜ou thing because you’re saying the car is fast…”
Haꦺmilton replied: “Who knows. I’m definitely not fa💞st anymore”.
Hamilton is clearly lacking confidence ov⭕er one-lap in his final year with M🐬ercedes.
In conventional qualifying, Russell is 17-5 up in the head-to-head over one-lap (5-1 in sprint week♒ends).
The 39-year-old ha💝s often shown great pace up until Q3 before his challenge faltering, as♑ seen in Las Vegas.
This weekend though, it appeared that he ඣsimply didn’t have Russell’s pace in sprint qualifying.
