168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton delivered a frustrated rওesponse to his latest quꦇalifying woes in Italy.

The Mercedes driver qualified in sixth for the F1 Italඣian Grand Prix despite topping two out of three practice ses🐓sions.

Hamilton has beaten teammate George Russell in qualifyin🤡g only four out of 16 times this season.

“I’m n༒ot very good. Simple as,” a gutted Hamilton said afterwards. “Simple as that…

“I am just not very good at qualifying.”

The interview responded: “But you haven’t just suddenly got bad💎?”

Hamilton said: “I clearly have. I can’t put a lap together. It’s unbelievably frustra💃ting.

“I’ll keep working at it. That’s all I can do.”

Hamilton has already rule⛄d out victory in Sunday’s grand prix.

Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, Russell, Charles Leclerc and Car🅺los Sainz are the five♐ drivers who will line up ahead of him.

Max Ver♋stappen will be seventh, a place beh🐻ind Hamilton.

But despite the promise of a positive weekend after Friday’s pacಌe, a miserable Saturday might again have cost Hamilton.

Qualifyi𝔉ng has become a rare Achilles’ heel for the seven-t🌃ime F1 champion.

That is despite Hamilton having an 𝔉al📖l-time record 104 pole positions.

He told Sky Sports: “Qual෴ifying has been my weakness for a minute now, and I can’t figure it out.”

Meanwhile, teammate Russell was delighted with Saturday at Mo🐼nza.

“Ending up P3 is a little bit better than I exℱ𝓡pected,” he said.

“It was a really tough sess✨ion, Q1 and Q2, and fortunately we saved it until the end. We’re not too far behind the McL🌼arens; they’re so fast at the moment.

“We’r🎉e working so hard to catch them up, but I’m super happy with third.

“I think it’s going to be a tight battle.ꩲ Everybody’s so close out there. It’s so exciting for F1.

“We’ve all been waiting for this competition and knowing if you do a great job, you’ve got a chance of victory. I’m pretty p𝓀umped.

“I’ll get some nice pizza tonight to fuel me up and a bit of extra weight, so not too light tomorrow! Hopefully w꧑e can fight for a good result.”
