Lewis Hamilton questions McLaren for ‘pushing too hard’ and ‘killing their tyres’
Lewis Hamilton was surprised by how mu༺ch McLaren pushed during the early stages of the Italian Grand Prix.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton believes McLaren could have comfortably won the F1 Italian Grand Prix had they “backed off” an💯d managed their tyres.
McLaren were unable to convert their front row start at Monza into a race victory as they were out-foxed by Ferrari and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri led teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris after the first round💜 of stops, with Leclerc close behind.
However, after his off-track moment at Tꩵurn 4, McLaren switched Norris to a two-stop strategy before doi𝔍ng the same with Piastri.
This handed ♚Leclerc track position ꧒and ultimately the victory at Monza.
Giving his view on the race afterwards, Hamilton sugges𒐪ted McLaren should have won had they 🦩simply reduced their pace early on.
“McLaren had the pace but pushed too hardꦉ,” Hamilton explained. “They were doing much too fast laps, early on. They killed their tyres.
“I guess they planned for a two-stop, tꦍhat’s why they were pushing so hard. If they backed off longer they could’ve 🦩made a one-stop.
“I was getting the information about the times they were doing. Theℱre is no way the tyres would last, at that pace. Charles did a fantastic job, well done to him.”
In terms of Hamilt෴on’s race, he secured fifth, beating the two Red Bulls and teammate George Russell.
It was a relatively straightforward race for Hamilton🌼 given he didn’t have the pace of the top two teams.
Hamilton revealed Mercᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚedes planned to do a one-stop but struggled with tyre degradation.
“We were planning to do a one-stop but my tyres were dr🍌opping off, just trying to hold onto Carlos,” he added.
“Definitely unexpected. But they had an upgrade so it was inevitable that they♒ would be quick compared to us.
“I wish we were in the fight but onwa🍨rds and up💯wards.”
Mercedes missing an upgrade
Hamilton feels that Mercedes’ lack of pace relative to Ferr𓆉ari was due to the fact the Italian outfit had an extensive upgrade for this weekend.
“Th👍e only positive is that we have good reliabilit𒁃y, but everyone around us did too,” he said. “Ultimately we didn’t have the race pace. I am not sure why.
“Even if I started further ahead, it would’ve been ha𓆏rd. If I was ah𝔉ead of the Ferraris they would have come out ahead because they had more pace than us.
“They had an upgrade this weekend and we didn’t. T🅰hat’s how it goes. There will be a race where we have an upgrade and they don’t, and we’ll be s🌜tronger, hopefully.
“It is very, very fine, small margins between all of us. Unfortunate𒉰ly today we didn’t have the pace, and we had more deg. I could have done a꧟ one-stop but I would’ve come out in the same place.”
