“That was o🧸n the used tyre as well,✨” Hamilton explained.

Pᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚure pace, that’s where we are. Charles was fortunate to get through. I think he did a new tyre [run] and just got it through.

“The sprint race was a better qualifying. As I said, we are where we are. We need some upgrades. We need some improvements. We’ve got lots of 🔯things that need to be b🐬etter.”
