The seven-time world champion ended up three-tenths adrift of pole-sitter 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris as🌺 he could only qualify fifth for Saturday’s sprint race in Brazil. 

Hamilton, who also qualified fifth for Sunday’s grand prix, was outpaced by Mercedes teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell who claime🤪d a spo꧙t on the second row in fourth. 

“[This] is generally the pace our car has been for quitဣe 🌳some time,” Hamilton said. “It’s our normal average scoring position – always pushing for more.

“My last ဣlap wasn’t really that spectacul𝓡ar, I think I probably could’ve been one or two places further forwards but I gave it my best.”

Hamilton added:ജ “Maximising the time on each of the tyres is always a challenge; getting the right temperatures etc… I think I did, just had a bit of snap at the last corner and lost a tenth and a half.

“The c♍ar needs to be ea👍sier to drive, which it’s not.”

Russell said he is looking t♋o🔜 challenge the front-runners in the sprint race. 

"We’d like to stand here and say we made some gains, but the truth is🐽 that conditions play a huge role,” he said. 

"Sometimes it comes into your window, sometimes it goes away,ಌ and it just worked in Q3. The lap was good, it was clean. P4 – I think that’s where we expected we’d be.

"Excited for this afternoo🎃n. I trust our race pace is going to be better than our qualy pace. I’m sure Max is going to be quickest. The Ferraris are behind us, which is good news, and then eyes forward on Lando."
