It continued Hamilton’s d🎉ifficulties on a Saturday, meaning he’s now lost the teammate head-to-head to Russell.

It’s just the second time in his F1 career, after♊ 2014, he’s lost a teammate head-to-head in qualifying.

Hamilton was brief in his analysis af𝓡ter qualifying.

He told Sky Sports: “Same Saturday as always.”

When pressed on 🍰the issues he faced, Hamilton added: “Same thin🦹g that happens every Saturday.

“Yesterday the car was amazing, felt great. Hone𒊎stly, I think it could have been at least second row today. Came today, the tyres did♑n’t work all day.”

Sky Sports pundit Bernie Collins feels like Hamilton 😼was caught out by the drop in track temperature.

She explained that while Mercedes tried different things with their outlaps, Hamilton is “potentially more sensitive” to track condit💃ions.

Collins said: “I think four-tenths off George, he will be re𝓰ally unhappy with that because the first person you’re compared to is your teammate.

“Sure the conditions have changed and he did complain a lo🌠t through the session about the tyre temperature. I t🧸hink they played it a little bit with outlap and the traffic they had. They didn’t get it all together.

“That is difficult to do through thꦍis qualifying. Particularly in Q3, the track temperature took a big d🌄ip.

“I think that’♏s what maybe caught Lewis out - he’s potentially more sensitive to that potentially as George got away with it.”
