168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s poor qualifying results have been debated as F1 heads to Monaco.

The F1 Monaco Grand Prix is infamously often ‘won 🐷on a Saturday’ with qualifying around the street circuit more cꦗrucial than ever.

But, Hamilton has outperformed Mercedes teammate George Russell just once in seven qual✨ifying atte🌳mpts this season.

ꦿ“That’s a question for Hamilton,” Sky Sports’ Carig Slater said in Monaꦅco.

“He is 6-1 down to🔯 Ru꧙ssell in qualifying this year.

“Does it reflect where Mercedes are at, at the moment? Maybe Lewis is plac🌸ing more emphasis on his car’s race set-up?

“Does it💮 reflect, maybe, that Fo🎃rmula 1 these days isn’t so dependent on qualifying? These new cars are much more capable of overtaking?

“Should we also reflect on the races before last year’s summer ꦍbreak...

“Le♓wis had a run of six qu🐷alifying victories - if we can call it that - over Russell in a season which ended, ultimately, with both drivers on parity.

“Or, is it a sign that at the age of 3🍷9, Lewis is less of a great qualifier and maybe more of an expert racer, these days?

“Maybe his skills are more over a race distance.

“It’s an interesting question…

“Qualifying is vital here. This hasn’t been the happiest hunting g♔round for Lewis.

“Only ꦚthree victories in what has been such an illustrious career.

“He has more points at Monaco th🎉an any other driver. Even if you convert previous points systems to the current one, he still comes out on top🌳.

“It is going to be interesting this weekend. It would give him great satisfacti♎on, not only to outqualify Russell but to qualify as high as possible. It is always key to the race itself.”

Ha🐭milton endured particular struggles in qualifying at the Miami round.

But heading into this weekend’s showpiece event (which is also a home race for Monaco residents Hamilton, Russell and Toto Wolff), he w🀅ill be keen to lay down a mark💟er to his younger teammate.

With overta🎐king notoriously challenging on a Sunday at the Principality, Hamilton must address a key flaw to his🅠 season if he has any chance of a result worth celebrating this weekend.
