Reflecting on qualifying in Sao Paulo, Hamilton said: “I mean 🌺it’s fifth. Fifth is never that great. I did the best I could. Hopefully we will have a better race🧔.”
"The car was showing signs of decent performance but generally we’re a coupl🅺e of tenths off the top guys.
"I think the circumstances at the end, the conditions, have us a litt🧸le bit further up, I don’t know, difficult to say.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell admitted he was “really disa🗹ppoin🍎ted” with his final lap and even considered coming into the pit lane as he thought he’d be 10th in Q3.
“Abs👍olutely crazy,” Russell explained🐟. “I’ve never ever seen a change of weather so drastically as that. I was really disappointed with the lap.
“On my lap, I was just sliding around, I had no grip, I didn’t see th🐻at much rain on my visor but I was a second off and I actually wanted to pit because I was confident I was going to be last - but ended up P6.
“P6 isn’t a bad place to start. Car has been perform🏅ing well here and we kno💖w it’s all about race pace. Let’s see how we perform on Saturday and Sunday.”
