168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton was left mystified by his pace drop-off in qualifying for the F1 Canadian Grand Prix while his Mercedes teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell claimed pole.

Seven-time world ch📖ampion Hamilton topped final practice with a blistering lap and the Mercedes pair looked favourites to take pole, and possibly secure a rare front-row lockout in Montreal.

Russell did go on to snatch pole ahead of Red Bull’s168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen, but Hamilton could only manage seventh after his pace dramatically fell🌳 away in Q3. 

It marked the first time in Hamiltꦬon's career that he has not qualified inside the top five in Ca꧅nada. 

Hamilton was baffled by his drop-off in performance, expl🔯aining the grip he had felt in his W15 earlier in the day just “vanished”.

"The car was feeling great all w🐓eekend and a🍌s soon as we got to qualifying, that kind of vanished for me," Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.

"The grip just disappearsཧ for me. P3, I had plenty of ♑pace in me, and then get to qualifying and the tyres won't work.

"Nothing had changed on the car.”

Hamilton and Russell were ♚boosted by further Merc🦋edes upgrades to the W15 this weekend, with both drivers praising the team’s step forward.

"Congratulations to George for a great job. It's really great for the 🦂team,” Hamilt🎶on added.

"Obviously, e🙈veryone has worked so hard to bring upgrades back at the factory, so this will be a real huge boost for everyone back at the factory.”

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff was also at a loss to explain why H𒐪amilton’s seꦛssion had unraveled.

"It seemed that Lewis was actually having the u▨pper hand and both cars comfortably beating everyone," Wolff told Sky Sports F1.

"And then at the end, it got so tight, also for George, a𓄧nd Lewis - the time didn't 💖show up. We can't comprehend at the moment why it wasn't a little bit more in our favour."
