168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton will look to make changes to his Mercedes F1 car ahead of qualifying at the ﷽Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion has endured a miserable weekend so far in Brazil. He failed to make the cut for the top-10 in sprint qualifyi♌ng and was knocked out in SQ2, before a frustrating run to 11th in the sprint.

Hamilton lost ground on the opening 𓂃lap and while he was able to recover to finish where he started, he admitted the 24-lap sprint race was “one of the worst of the year”.

"Probably one of theꦡ worst [races] of the year. The car was all over the place. It was a real, real struggle,” the outgoing Mercedes driver explained.

"Our car does not like this track. At least we have time now to make some changes going into qualifying. We definitely🧔 can’t make it worse."

Hamilton’s teammate, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, fared better as he took sixth ahead of Alpine's 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly

“It’s just how it is at the moment,” Russell commented. “Often those cars in the midfield are pushing in the beginning to be 🐲within 𝔉the DRS.

“I think we finished the race six seconds behind Carlos [Sainz], six seconds ahead of Gasly, which is exactly what we thought would happen be✱fore the race.

🐟“We will try to improve but we are not going to make a pole position, race-winning car from now until qualifying starts.”

Russell has closed to within nine points o꧂f sixth-placed Hamilton in the drivers’ standings.

Mercedes, me﷽anwhile, rem🍷ain fourth, 150 points adrift of Red Bull with four grands prix and one sprint race remaining this season.
