Hamilton slumped to eighth in the race after run♉nin🌟g as high as third in the early stages.

Mercedes’ ༺tyre wear issues continued, meaning Hamilton was the first of the leading group to make his first pit stop.

Embarrassingly for Mercedes, Hamilton even lost out to Alpine’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly in the final stint, meaning they had the sixth-fastest car at Intꦉerlagos.

It capped off a tough day for the team, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell failing to make the chequered flag.

“It didn't feel as disastrous as yesterday,” Hamilton said. “Yesterday I literally had no tyres left, they were worn to zero. I feel like I drove a better race today in t🍸erms of managing the tyres to the best of my ab🌺ility. 

“But the car, there's moments it works and moments it doesn't, and it's so inc💙onsistent through the lap♐. So we have to figure out what that is. 

﷽“Then also we are 🌊really slow on the straights and at least sliding the car through the corners. So one to forget but hopefully there's lots of learning from today.”

Hamilton conceded there just being one practiไܫce session ahead of qualifying made life more difficult for Mercedes.

“One thing the car is really unpredictable,” he added. “In a sense of one weekend it feels good, one session it feels good, and then not. I'm sure we will go and look at thܫings and find things we should have done differently but with the one session it's difficult. 

“But I'm s🍰till proud of the team, they still came here and did their work, they held their head up high and that's what we have to continue to do. Just keep pushing forward. Two more races with this thing and then hopefully no more driving it.”
