168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s poor qualifying results have been debated as F1 heads to Monaco.

The F1 Mon💝aco Grand Prix is infamously often ‘won ꦅon a Saturday’ with qualifying around the street circuit more crucial than ever.

Butꩵ, Hamilton has outperformed Mercedes teammate George Russell just once in seve🍌n qualifying attempts this season.

“T𒆙hat’s a question for Hamilton,” Sky Sports’ Carig Slater sa♛id in Monaco.

“He is 6-1 down⛎ to Russell in qualifying this year.

“Does it reflect where Mercedes are at, at the moment? Maybe Lewis is placing mo⛎re emphasis on his car’s race set-up?

“Does it reflect, maybe, that Formula 1 these days isn’t so dependent on qualifying? These new cars are much more🐭 capable of overtaking?

“Should we also reflect on the𒁏 races before last year’s sum𝓀mer break...

“Lewis had a run of six qualifying victories - if we can call it that - over ꦉRussell in a season which ended, ultim🌠ately, with both drivers on parity.

“Or, is it a sign that at the age of 39, Lewis i𓂃s le💖ss of a great qualifier and maybe more of an expert racer, these days?

“Maybe his skills are more over a race distance.

“It’s an interesting question…

“Qualifying is vital here. This hasn’t bee൩n the happiest hunting ground for Lewis.

“Only three victoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚries in what has been such an illustꦐrious career.

“He has more points at Monaco than any other driver. Even if you convert🍸 previous points systems to the current one, he still comes out on top.

“It is going to be interesting this weekend. It would give him great satisfaction, not only to outqualify Russell but to qualify as high as possible. It is always key to the race i🌺tself.”

Ham𝓰ilton endured particular struggl🅠es in qualifying at the Miami round.

But heading into this weekend’s showpiece event (which is also a home race for Monaco residents Hamilton, Russell and Toto Wolff), he will be keen to 🌃lay down a marker to his younger teammate.

With overtaking notoriously challenging 🅘on a Sunday at the Principality, Hamilton must add🌟ress a key flaw to his season if he has any chance of a result worth celebrating this weekend.
