168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s difficulties in qualifying this🅘 season might be “a changinꦕg of the guard”, according to David Coulthard.

Hamilton has beaten 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes teammate George Russell only four times🌠 from 15 qualify🧸ing sessions this year.

Last week at Zaജndvoort, Hamilton was unusually k💎nocked out of Q2 before declaring his weekend “done”.

Ex-F1 driver Coulthard trie⛦d to assess Hamilton’s Saturday struggles ▨for Channel 4, saying: “I wish I had an explanation.

“Things that separate drivers like Lewis from the merely good drivers is the ability to qualify a c🍨ar. In whatever the conditions are, they usually find a lap time.

“All that has, kind of, gone alongside George!

“It feels like a changing of the guard. I know that will upset🅰 a lot of people because Lewis has still got brilliant success, I am sure, ahead of him.

🃏“Like a footballer who loses a yard, he is still useful to the team but not🀅 as useful as he used to be.

“What it’s maybe turning out to be… the natural transition for Lewis to go off to Feꦆrrari, and for Mercedes to bring in 🌄Kimi Antonelli to see if he’s the bright young thing to push George.”

Hamilton is into his final year with Mer🔯cedes before joining🍷 Ferrari in 2025.

Teenage starlet Antonelli is widely expected to be his replacement at Merced𒈔es next🍷 year.

Coulthard analysed qualifying last weekend at Zandvoort where Hamilton finished 12th: “Going into qualy I thought 🉐it was a case of Mercedes, MဣcLaren and where could Max throw himself in among it.

“𒀰[Hamilton] seemed to drop back a bit, in what wer♔e fairly stable conditions all the way through.

“That sugges🤡ts to me that they were running close to their limits on engine and performance through the free practice sessions.

“Then, when it came to it, Red Bull 🐈had more in the 🐲tank.

“What an amazing lap from Lando, reminding ꦺus that ♊McLaren has a Mercedes engine. Making the main team look average.

“Lew🍨is was speechless when he was told that he was out.”

A bad weekend in the Netherl꧟ands for Hamilton followed a joyous peri🌞od where he won two out of three grands prix, including at Silverstone.

This weekend at the F1 Italian Grand Prix he will go to the home country of his future ♏employer, Ferrari, aiming to prove Coulthard wrong.
