Lewis Hamilton flummoxed by Mercedes pace | ‘Not easy’ being leapfrogged by Williams in F1 Italian GP qualifying

Hamilton was left perplexed as to why the pace of his Mercedes W14 has “fallen off” since first pract🔴ice on Friday.
“Not the greatest,” Hamil♎ton said of his qualifying. “It started off actually in P1, run one, it was the best the car felt but it’s fallen off since then.”
Asked why he felt that was, the 38-year-𝔍old Briton replied: “I don’t know.”
Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, Alex Albon’s Wil🐼liams and the McLaren of Oscar Piastri split the two Mercedes, and Hamilton admitted it will be hard to overtake the cars ahead given their straightline speed.
“I think we are all similar pace,” Hamilton said. “What’s impressive is how quick the Williams is - to be leapfrogged by the Willia𝐆ms and McLa🐭ren so it’s not easy.
“George did a great job today so I just go to progress somehow. The Williams will be impossible to overtake as they’re fastest o🅠n the straights but when there’s a will there’s a way.”
