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 champion Hamilton topped fin💎al practice with a blistering lap and the Mercedes pair looked favourites to take pole, and possibly s🧸ecure 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 fel🙈l away in Q3. 

It marked the first time in Hamilton's career that he has not qua🍒lified inside the top five in Canada. 

Hamilton was baffl🍬ed by hi🐼s drop-off in performance, explaining the grip he had felt in his W15 earlier in the day just “vanished”.

"The carꦿ was feeling great all weekend and as 📖soon as we got to qualifying, that kind of vanished for me," Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.

"The grip just disappears for me. P3, I𝓡 had plenty of pace in me, and then get to quꦫalifying and the tyres won't work.

"Nothing had changed on the car.”

Hamilton and Russell༒ were boosted by further Merce🅺des 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,” Ham🔯ilton added.

"Obviously, everyone 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 Toto𝓰 Wolff was also at a loss to explain why Hamilton’s session hওad unraveled.

"It s♌eemed thatಞ Lewis was actually having the upper hand and both cars comfortably beating everyone," Wolff told Sky Sports F1.

"And then at the end, it got so tight, also for George, and 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."
