168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has conceded that he didn’t have an answer for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell’s level of performance in F1 qualifying for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Hamilton could only secure eighth on the grid for Sunday’s race at I♔mola, 𒁃two spots behind teammate George Russell.

The pair were split by the RB of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda as Mercedes’ lacklustre start to th🗹e season continued.

Hamilton has been out-qualified by Russell in 11 of the last 12ꦿ races as he continues to struggle over one-lap with the W15.

Reflecting on qualifying at Imola, Hamilton admitted he “couldn’t reach” the level of performance Russell was able to, who qualified within a tenth of the second Ferrari of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.

“I think George's lap was the maximum pace wise of wh൩at our car could do. I couldn't reach📖 that today,” he said.

“Yesterday was looking strong. But good, positiꦡve, t🤡o see us pace wise a little bit closer.”

Mercedes’ underwhelming qualifying performance continuꦆed a 𒈔peculiar trend where they fall away pace-wise after impressing in practice.

The seven-time world champion revea✨led Mercedes “don’t fully understand” w♍hy they excel on Fridays this year.

“That's one thing we don't fully understand is like on Friday, we seem a bit quicker and then on Saturday, we seem to lose a little bit time to the others,” he added. “Bꦅut George was pretty quick ouಌt there.

“I th🅺ink he really got to check the setup this weekend, like he has done most of this this year. For me, it worked differently.”

Assessing his chances in the race, Hamilton h💞opes to get ahead of Tsunoda quickly be🌟fore settling in behind the cars ahead.

“Yes, we'll also try and get Tsunoda if we can, that'll be helpful,” he added. “And then after that, I think it's really just about managing the tyres and the cars ahead of George 🍨are faster. So that's kind ✨of where we are.”
