Lewis Hamilton conceded that Ferrari simply doesn’t have the pace♛ in Mia🐓mi this weekend, revealing that “the car is just different every time we go out.”

Hamilton was knocked out in Q2, settlin𓄧g for 12th on the grid for Sunday’s race.

While Hamilton was within a tenth of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, it was the first time the seven-time world champi🅺on had not made it into Q3.

It’s unlikely Hamilton would have fared well in Q3, given that both Williams💝 drivers beat Leclerc.

Reflecting on qua♐lifying, Hamilton told media at the Miami Grand Prix, where  are in t🧜he paddock: “Difficult session. Obviously, mixed emotions because we got a decent result but it wasn’t on pure pace. It was due to a good call with the strategy.

“On pure pace,🌠 we didn’t have it in the race. I was like one♌ of the first here this morning to take the right steps throughout the day and it didn’t make any difference.”

Hamilt💖on regretted not using his spare set of soft tyres, completing his final Q2 run on a used set.

“That✨ was on the used tyre as well,” Hamilton explained.

“We went𓆏 out and just couldn’t go any faster on that last set of tyres. The car is just different every timﷺe we went out.”

‘Lots of things need to be better’

Ferrari’s poor qualifying res☂ult continues their tough start to the 2025 F1 season.

The Italian manufacturer have scored just one podium in the opening 🦩five races, leaving them fourth 🎐in the constructors’ championship.

Hamilton did enjoy a strong sprin💧t race in Mi💯ami, finishing third after an inspired strategy call.

While Hamilton was pleased with the result, he was ไquick to point out that Ferrari were out-pa🍎ced by Williams on merit in Miami.

“It’s nice but pure pace… I mean we’ve been out-qualified by Williams, who are doing a great job,” Hamilton added. “James and his team are doing an amazing job. Pure 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 better.”
