168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has declared that 2024 has been his “worst start” to an F1 season ever aft🌌er failing to finish the Australian Grand Prix.

The seven-time world champion retired with an 🦩engine problem during the early stages of Sunday’s race in Melbourne, compounding what was a miserable weekend for him and his Mercedes♕ team.

Hamilton had alread𒊎y suffered his worst qualifying result in Australia since 2010 prior to his DNF, which followed seven and ninth-place finishe♚s at the opening two rounds in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

The 39-year-old Briton has scored just eight points across the opening three rounds and sits ninth in t𒀰ꦇhe drivers’ championship.

💎Hamilton believes things are even worse than in 2009 when McLaren made a terrible s🦂tart to the campaign.

“I mean, this is the worst start to s🌃eason I’ve ever had,” Hamilton conceded.

When asked if it has been worse t🔴han 2🍌022 and 2023, Hamilton replied: “Oh, yeah, for sure,” before adding: “And it’s worse than 2009 I think.”

But Hamilton insists he is trying to remain upbeat abou𝔉t the situation.

“Surprisingly I fee♏l pretty good. I think I’m trying to keep things in perspect🍸ive, you know?” Hamilton said.

“It could ♛be so much worse, I’m really grateful and have really enjoyed my t♎ime here in Australia.

“I’m still enjoyinꦏg working with the team, of course I’d love to be fighting fo♓r wins and finishing races.

“It’s never a great feeling when you come all this way and don’t even see half of the race, but what I know is that we will bounce back and will get there, we just have to chip away at itℱ.”

To rub salt into Mercedes’ wounds, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell also failed to see the chequered flag as he crashed out of sevent🦩h place on the final lap.

Mercedes hoped they would enter the seasoღn fighting for podiums and wins with their revamped W15, which has so far finished no higher than fifth.

“I think it’s tough on the spirit,” Hami🐈lton admitted.

“I think for everyone in th🐼e team, when so much work is going on throughout the winter for everybody, you come in excited, motivated and driven, and then you’re with the mindset♉ that you’re going to be fighting for wins.

“And then obviously that’s not the case. And ꦍthenꦕ you’re like, ‘Okay, maybe second, third’. No, it’s not the case, and it cascades a bit further down. And you just go through the motions. It’s challenging.

“But I continue to be inspired by the people I’ve worked with. They continue to put in the effor🔴t and show up and that’s the most important thing.”
