168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton left the F1🃏 Bahrain Grand Prix as the official ‘driver of the day’ after his run to fifth.

It represented a remarkable 24-hour turnaround after his despondency on S๊aturday post-qualifyi𒊎ng.

“Iꦗt happens every Sa🌃turday,” he sighed after qualifying ninth but he would enjoy a far more productive grand prix in Lusail.

Hamilton was P5, one place behind teammate Charles Leclerc, giving Ferrari their best grand prix finish of the season.

However, that speaks volumes about the struggl💎es faced by Ferrari who broug𝓰ht a slew of upgrades to Bahrain to somehow jolt life into their campaign.

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari 'closed the gap'

“It’s been tricky, a tricky start for Leꦆwis aꦅt Ferrari. Yesterday he was particularly down,” Sky Sports’ Naomi Schiff said.

“Coming int꧃o this weekend, it felt like en🌼ergy was particularly low.

“From our unders🉐tanding, we hear that they aren’t able to run the car in the optim🗹um setup.

“That has been frustrating for both drivers.

“They brought the new ♍floor here this weekend. Clearly they have closed the gap becaus🐽e both Charles and Lewis, towards the end, were very competitive.

“Lewis alwayღs come back alive on a Sunday. His issues are on a Saturday with qualifying pace.

“But with long run pace situations, he’s always a lot more 🔥on it. You can feel his energy is lifted, as soon as he delivers per🤪formance.”

Leclerc left Bahrain bemoaning Fer🌳rari’s lack of pace, but for Hamilton his issues clearly lie during qualifying.

It was suggested that, next weekend at the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix,🎐 Ferrari tell Hamilton to test quaওli sims during practice sessions on the Friday.

“I don’t know,” was Schiff’s reaction. “I guess that🍸’s an option - but it feels like something you do with a younger driver.

“Lewis understands ꦇthe processes to get that car into the window it needs to 𓄧be in qualifying.

“I don’t know what’s lacking with him. Wh🧜ether it’s confidence in the car, he’s talking about engine⛄ braking, every week it seems he’s mentioning more issues that he’s struggling to get on top of, after coming from another team.

“For him it’s about being on track, driviꦇng as much as possible, getting to know this car, getting on top of those issues in the lower fuel runs.”

Hamilton’s season so far has peaked with a sprint race win in China but P5 in Bahrai♚n is his best grand prix result so far.
