168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s “disastrous” sprint qualifying performance at the F1 Austrian Grand Prix has been put down to los꧒ing crucial time in traffic on his final lap.

Hamilton secured sixth on the grid for the Saturday sprint race, qualifying 0.2s behind Mercedes teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell.

The seven-time world champion endured a scrappy qualifying session at the Red Bull Ring, narro🦩wly making it through in SQ1 after making a mistak꧋e on his first medium tyre effort.

�ꦓ�It was a similar story on his final run as he ran wide at Turn 3, costing himself crucial lap time.

Reflecting on the session, Hamilton said: “I wasn’t in the mix, in the whole session. It was pretty disastroꦦus from my point of view. What can I say? Practice felt good, the car generally felt good.

“I💯 don’t think we had the pace♉ for pole. But, very bad laps…”

However, it appears Hamilton lost even more time behind Ferrari’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc.

Leclerc was out of sync after🤪 an anti-stall issue kept him in the pit lane longer than expected.

This meant that Leclerc’s out-lap crossed with Hamilton’s best lap, resulting in the latter being affected by the turbulent air into the fi𝓡nal couple of corners.

When analysing Hamilton’s SQ3 effort, Sky🐎’s Anthony Davidson felt Leclerc cost Hamilto▨n around two-tenths.

“As Lewis said himself, it ꧂wasn’t plain-sailing. Not all of it was on his shoulders, some of it was out of his control,” Davidson explained.

“You can see he is catching the Ferrari. He is definitely going to be in turbulen♚ce through Turn 9 and particularly 10, so you are losing valuable tenths of a second.

“It’s hard to absolutely quantify the right amount. ✨Probably two tenths,ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ I’d say, is what you could lose in those two corners.

“There is nothi🗹ng he could have done beওcause Leclerc was out of position.”

It was ꦑstill a positive day for Mercedes though as George Russell qualified fourth.

It means Mercedes’ recent resurgence continues fol🐎lowing an upturn in form since the Canadian Grand Prix.

Davidson feels like there’s more to come from Mercedes during the reꦍmainder of tꦑhe weekend.

“The car has clearly got pace, as Russell♊ proved,” he added. “It’s a good thin🀅g. It’s nice to hear Mercedes disappointed, for once, that they’re not right at the sharp end.

“It wasn’t too long ago that they would have taken a result lik🌄e this. Onwards and upwards for Lewis. Th𒁃ere is more from the car.

“Like Toto said, getting out of sync from the word go, with that rally-style moment at Turn 1, really went against him from the beginning. I feel like the car can have more pace 🗹for tomorrow and Sunday.”
