He was called to be one of the candidates to obtain the “pole”, but this was not the case. A error During his last attempt in Q3, this prevented him from setting a good time and with everything in sight to take the start on the front lines, the seven-time world champion had to settle for tenth position.
Hamilton He is aware that he should have done more and after the session he admitted this: “I should have done Pole. The car was different in Q3 and there was no stability for some reason. We got to the third trimester and it started to fail. But he had had it in all the previous sessions. I think it’s due to the tires. “Everyone seemed to be having trouble getting to work.”
“We don’t know why are we so fast. It must be something related to the temperatures,” admitted Hamilton in a statement to ‘F1TV’ in which he assumes that he does not know the origin of Mercedes’ good performance in Las Vegas.
Regardless, and even though he’s gone so far, Lewis should end up making a comeback during the race given the good running pace that he and Russell have been able to demonstrate so far during the Grand Prix.
