Ferrari have explained the time loss which left168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton feeling like he was in “no man's land” during🧔 the๊ F1 Monaco Grand Prix.

After a penalty for impeding 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen in qualifying dropped him from what would have been a se💃ason-best fourth on the grid to seventh, Hamilton was one of the few drivers who gained positions to claim fifth in Sunday’s race.

But the seven-time F1 world champion finished well adrift of the leaders and crossed the line 51 seconds behind race-winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris after a perp🌠le🍰xing time loss following his second and final pit stop.

Hamilton was left conf♋used by his run to a distant P5 in the Principality.

"I can't comment on the rest of the 𓃲race, for me I was in the middle of nowhere,” Hamilton told Sky Sports F1 after the race.

"I stꦰarted seven𝄹th, was behind two cars for some time, managed to clear them, then I was in no man's land after that.

"The gap was relatively big and I was not racing anyone. I needed a Safety Car or something to come♈ into play but it didn't happen. It was ꦿpretty straightforward from there.”

Hamilton went on to admit that he did🥃 no🐻t fully understand the communications from race engineer Riccardo Adami.

"The information wasn't exactly that clear. I d🎐idn't really understand 'this is our race’,” Hamilton said.

"I didn't know what I was fighting f꧑or. Was I fighting for the next spot ahead?

“But, in actual fact, when I look at the data I wasn't anywhere near any of the guys up front. I used up my ⛄tyres a lot in that moment but I was so far away from them anyway.”

Traffic hurt Lewis Hamilton’s race

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur said that🔯 losing 10 seconds while navigat🎶ing backmarkers was a contributing factor.

“He lost almost 10 seconds more than the others when he joined the g꧟roup of cars who were lapped,” Vasseur 🐼told media including wuqian0821.com.

“I don’t remember who was in this group, but it wasཧ a difficult time for him.

“Probably the fact that the others joined this group, packed one after the other, it was ඣmuch easier, t𝓰hey were aware of the guys coming and a bit less with Lewis and he was alone.

“Compared to Verstappen, who was aꦉhead at this stage, he lost something like 10 seconds in this sequence.”
