168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s difficul𒊎ties in qualifying this season might be “a changing of the guard”, according to David Coulthard.

Hamilton has beaten 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes teammate George Russell only four times fr🥀om 15 qualifying sessions t🦂his year.

Last week at Zandvoort, Hamilton was unusually knocked🐬 out of Q2 before declaring his weekendꦇ “done”.

Ex-F1 driver Coulthard tried to assess Hamilton’🍬s Saturday struggles for Channel 4, saying: “I wish I had an explanation.

“Things that separate drivers like Lewis from the merely good drivers is the ability to qualify aﷺ car. In w🧸hatever the conditions are, they usually find a lap time.

“All that has, kind of, gone alongside George!

“It feels like a c☂hanging of the guard. I know that will upset꧅ a lot of people because Lewis has still got brilliant success, I am sure, ahead of him.

“Like a footballer who loses a yard, 🍃he is still useful to th♔e team but not as useful as he used to be.

“What it’s maybe turning out to be… the natural transition for Lewis to go off to Ferrari, and for Mercedes to bring in Kimi Antonelli to see if he’s the bright young thಌin🌟g to push George.”

Hamilton is into his final year with Mercedes befo💎re joining Fer♈rari in 2025.

Teenage starlet Antonelli is widely expected to be his replacemen♌t at Mercedes next year.

Coultha𓄧rd analysed qualifying last weekend at Zandvoort where Hamilton finished 12th: “Going into qualy I thought it was a case of Mercedes, McLaren and where could Max throw himself in among it.

“[Hamilton] seemed ꧟to drop back a bit, in what were fairly stable conditions all the way through.

“That suggests to 𒀰me🌊 that they were running close to their limits on engine and performance through the free practice sessions.

“Then, when it came to it, Red Bull had more in the t♏ank.

“What an amazing lap from Lando, reminding us t💫hat McLaren has a Mercedes engine. Making the main team look average.

“Lewis was speechless when he was told that he was out.🐻”

A bad weekend in the Netﷺherlands for Hamilton followed a joyous period where he won two out of three grands pr꧟ix, including at Silverstone.

This weekend at the F1 Italian Grand Prix he will go to the home country of his future emplo𒆙yeඣr, Ferrari, aiming to prove Coulthard wrong.
