Lewis Hamilton says the brake issue that disrupted his second practice at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has been “a b𝔉ig issue all year”.

Hamilton comp🐬lained about his braܫkes throughout FP2 at Imola on Friday.

🐻He voiced his concerns over team radio: “These brakes in m🅘ode warm up are horrendous. Mate... it’s not braking”.

In a separate radio mes꧑sage, he complained about the brakes again: “These damn brakes, mate. Ugh, these brakes are a problem.”

Hamilton ended the session 11th fastest, 0.6s off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s best time.

Reflecting on his Friday, Hamilton said: “P1 was good. I was really, really༒ happy with the car in P1. It felt like we had made a step forward. I was feeling really💯 positive.

“I literally changed like two of the tiniest things that shouldn’t have had barely any effect at all - the smallest change I’ve probably෴ done this year. I had some brake issu🦩es that made a massive difference.

“That was then a fight with that. That’s been quite a big issue all year actually. I’ve never experience💛d that before so that’s a new thing for me this year.”

Hamilton confirmed that the ongoing brake problems aren’t linked to the fact he’s using Brembo brakes at Ferrari, rather than Carbon Industrie (what he🅺 used at M😼ercedes).

“No. It’s not the tr🙈ansition. It’s the performance,” he clariꦺfied.

When asked if it could be fixed, Hamilton🎃 replied: “I mean it’s a lottery. We will roll the dice and you put one on and it works, and you put another one and it doesn’t.

“We will see. I hope tomorrow we figure somethiℱng out. We’re working on it.

Leclerc rules out pole challenge

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc r𝕴eturned to the paddock for practice after missing Thursday’s media d꧒ay through illness.

After struggling in FP1, Leclerc fared better in the second sessiꦿon, ending the day in sixth.

“The whole FP1🌠 was very tricky. We’ve had s🌞ome different problems,” Leclerc explained.

“FP2 we put everything together a bit more and it was feeling better on my side. But still, we’re lacking performance. We know. Our ꧋weak point at the moment is the qualifying pace and we still need to work on that.”

Leclerc ruled out꧂ challengin൲g the McLarens for pole.

“To go and take pole, hon𝐆estly I don’t think we’ve got it in the car for now but the race pace was strong so that’s positive,” Leclerc added.

“But [it’s] also a track where overtaking is very difficult, so we’ve got to focus on our qualifying pace, that’s where we are putt🐽ing all our effort into.”
