and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton were both nursing problems with their Ferrari cars during the closing stages of the F1 Spanish Grand Prix, it ꦿhas emerged.

Leclerc claimed a hard-earned third place to complete the podium behind the dominant McLaren duo having outpaced his seven-time world champion teammate Hamilton, who ꦐcrossed the line two𝓰 places lower than he started in seventh.

Hamilton outqualified Leclerc for only the second time this season and started a season-high fifth on the grid at Ba🌠rcelona, only to endure a difficult afternoon. 

The 40-year-old Briton unusually struggled for pace during the 66 lap race ♔and was even passed by Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg following a late Safety Car. Hamilton was promoted to sixth thanks to Max Verstap🅺pen’s post-race penalty.

Speaking to medi🃏a including on Sunday evening, Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur revealed that Hamilton suffered a problem in the final stint, but w𝔍ould not say exactly what the issue was.

“You are experienced enough to not draw a concluꦉsion after the first words of the driver,” Vasseur sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚaid.

“If you want to create a polemic, you can, but it’s not 𝓰the case. I think we did 70 per cent of the race in front of [George] Russell. I’m not sure that Russell said that the race was a disaster.

“But then we had an issue on the 🥂car, the last stint, before the Safety Car, and the result ಞis not good. But he did 45 laps in front of Russell.”

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff claimed oil had been coming from Leclerc’s car in the latter stages during his own post-race media brie💞fing, but Vasseur said he did not know what his counterpart wa𒐪s referring to.

“We had a small issue also on the other car, but not about the oil,” Vasseur clarified. “I don’t know where it’s coming from, from the ca🔯r. I don’t know that.”

Hamilton blames himself for ‘really bad day’

Hamilton made no mention of the apparent car problem he encountered as he put the blame on himself for his lack💙lustre performanc🐬e in Spain.

"Well what do you want me to say? I'🍷ve had a really bad day and have nothing to say. It was a difficult day," he told ꦐSky Sports F1.

“There's nothing elsꦆe to add to it. It was terrible. There's no point explaining it. It's not your fault. I just don'๊t know what to say.”

When it was suggested to him that Ferrari can find answers, Hamilton responded: “I’m sure they w𝓡on't ๊- it was probably just me."

Hamil⛄ton went on to claim the Spanish Grand Prix was “the worst race I’ve expe♕rienced”.

"I have 🥃no idea why it was so bad. That was the worst race I've expe♋rienced balance-wise,” he said.

Asked if there were any positives to take from th🍰e weekend, Hamilton repജlied: “zero.”
