2016 F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Rosberg has warned 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton that his 🧸poor qualifying form could make his Ferrari stint “a painful adventure”.

Hamilton endured a difficult final year with Mercedes, particularly on Saturdꦡays.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell came out on top in the qualifying head-to-head, winning 19-5 against Hamilton💜.

It’s only the second time in Hamilton’s F1 career that he’s lost out in a qualifying head-to-head to a teammate - th😼e first time was against Rosberg in 2016.

Speaking on the, Rosberg explained why his ex-teammate will be concerned about his one-lap p♈🐻ace heading into next year.

“Especially going forwa𝕴rd now. He has two years at Ferra🦄ri. He will 100 per cent be worried – what if this form of mine continues?” Rosberg said.

“Was it just the 🌞car, Mercedes? Or was it something else? What if this form of mine continues to Ferrari? If it does, it would be really quite a painful adventure because that’s not what Ferrari hired him for.

“Ferrari hired him to be on a level with Leclerc and fight for world championships. I think he will be very worried about th�♔�at.

“We can only hope he finds back to his good old self with a re෴set at Ferrari and he’s once again the brilliant driver that we know.”

Hamilton’s form “weighing on his shoulders”

Hamilton’s run of poor performances in qualifying at the end of the yꦐ♑ear left him despondent.

It even led to a remarkable adm🧸ission from him that he’s si♏mply no longer quick enough.

While Hamilton remains up there as one of the “very best” in race pace, his poor qualifying displays are gi🀅ving him too much work to do.

“The proꦚblem with our sport is that if you don’t qualify high up, you really struggle,” Rosberg added. “Even though he still seems to be at his very, very best in race pace.

“We’ve seen over 🐓and over again his race pace is just insanely𝓡 strong. When you qualify poorly all the time, almost, and he says it himself – he’s just not quick enough in qualifying.

“That’s something that was weighing on his shoulders at the end of the year because when you get beaten race in, race out from your teammate who’s younger but, let’s remember, not a world champion. He’s just a four𓂃-time race winner.

“We insiders, we know that Russell is brilliant, but there are still some question marks because he’s not a world champi♛on. When you get beaten all of the time – and in the case of Lewis, who is statistically the GOAT – that’s really tough.”
