Lewis Hamilton had ‘zero pace’ in ‘confusing’ sprint for Mercedes
Lewis Hꦅamilton left confused by his and Mercedes teammate George Russell's contrasting issues in United Sꦚtates GP sprint.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton says he had “zero pace” in a “confusing” sprint race for Mercedes at the F1 United States Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion finished sixth, one place behind Mercedes teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell, who slipped back from second after he encountered struggles with front tyre we🎉ar.
Hamilton, in contrast, reported issues with rear tyre wear o🐎n his W15.
“I wouldn’t say it’s a surprise. We’ve had that problem many a time,” Hamilton told Sky🌄 Sports.
“The car was feeling good yesterday and we were both on for the front𒁃 and second rows, with George was so close to pole.
"So definitely a con꧅fusing result in terms of he had one problem, I had another problem. I had zero pace.
"[Russell] was at least able to hold on to them for a while so we will look into it. There are changes we can make [for main qualifying] but it’s a lot hotter than it was yesterday, so that’s obviously part of the rea𒐪son.”
After losing out to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris at the start, Russell came b🌌ack at the McLaren driver in the early exchanges before his pace dramatically dropped off and he wꦿas passed by both Ferraris.
“I was quick in the beginning and then I had no tyres left, but the Feꩵrrar🐲is were right behind me and they weren’t exactly relaxing,” he explained to Sky Sports.
“I felt that if I backed off a little bit they were going to be on my tail. I spoke with Lewis after the race and he had♍ no rear tyres left, so we’re clearly missing something.”
Russell added: “It’s just getting on top of these tyres. It’s a little bit hotter today. It’s the first🌃 time we’ve ran the medium tyres. In practice we ran the hard t🃏yres and we had really great race pace and you could push really hard on it.
“Clearly on the medium it was different. It was a bit of a shame to end up P5. It was almost a pr🃏actice session ahead of the main event tomor🐻row, so we have got another opportunity.”
