Reflecting on qualifying afterwards, Hamilton blamed a setup tweak for his 𝐆deficit to Russell, explaining that he’s focused more on race performance.

He told Sky Sports: “It was not the greatest of feelings. I am excited to be here♊. I think George’s position and the pace he showed today really highlights and is a testament to the team just how hard everyone is working over the winter.

“It’s amazin♉g to have a car that we can fight with. It really ignites the fire and flame within us drivers. For me, Bono and everyone did a great job. I just struggled with it in qualifying.

“Y🐟esterday was good, George and I were on the same setups and then he went left and I went right. I think right was definitely not good for single lap but I felt more comfortable with more fuel so I hope t💛hat reflects tomorrow.”
