168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s difficulties in qualifying this season might be “a changing of the guard”, according to David Co🍒ulthard.

Hamilton has beaten 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes teammate Geo🅷rge Russell only four times from 15 qualifying sessions this year.

Last week at Zandvoort, Hamilton was unusually knocked out of Q2 before declaring his ꦉweekend “done”.

Ex-F1 driver Coulthard tried to assess Hamilton’🔜s Saturday struggles for Channel 4, saying: “I wish I had an explanation.

“Things that separate drivers like Lewis from the merely good drivers is t🌼he ability to qualify a car. In whatever the conditions are, they usually find a lap time.

“All that has, kind of, gone alongside George!

“It feels like a changing of the guard. I know that will upset a lot of p🍰eople because Lewis has still got brilliant success, I am sure, ahead of him.

“Like a footballeꦦr who loses a yard, he is still usef𓆏ul to the team but not as useful as he used to be.

“What it’s maybe turning out to be… the natural transition for Lewis to go off to Ferrari, and foꦚr Mercedes to bring in Kimi Antonelli to see if he’s✤ the bright young thing to push George.”

Hamilton is into hisﷺ final year with Mercedes before joining Ferrari in𝔍 2025.

Teenage starlet Antonelli is widely expected to be his replacement at Mercedes next yea🍷r.

Coulthard analysed qualifyi♈ng last weekend at Zandvoort where Hamilton finished 12th: “Going into qualy I thought it was a case of Mercedes, McLaren and where could Max throw himself in among it.

“🔯[Hamilton] seemed to drop back a bit, in what were fairly stable conditions all the way through.

“That suggests to me that they were running close to their limits on engine and performance through 🎃the free practice sessions.

“T𒆙hen, when it came to it, Red Bull had more in the tank.

“What an amazing🐎 lap ♓from Lando, reminding us that McLaren has a Mercedes engine. Making the main team look average.

“Lewis was speechless 🐻when he was t🐓old that he was out.”

A bad weekend in the Netherlands for Hamilton followed a jo⭕yous period where he won two out of three grands prix, including at Silverstone.

This weekend at the F1 Italian Grand Prix he will ꦑgo to the home country of his future employer, Ferrari, aiming to prove Coulthard wrong.
