A decidedly complicated Friday for Lewis Hamilton, who couldn’t manage higher than seventh place in Sprint Qualifying.
Friday in Miami wasn’t particularly good for Lewis Hamilton. The British Ferrari driver, due to a downshift issue on the decisive lap, couldn’t manage higher than seventh place, confirming the Prancing Horse’s difficulty putting everything together when the clock really counts. The numerous upgrades in Florida helped, but the power deficit compared to Mercedes and McLaren remains significant and, for now, irreparable.
This is Lewis Hamilton’s comment at the end of yesterday’s qualifying session:“I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was hoping for better performance, but the car didn’t feel great, honestly. I thought we’d be stronger than we were today,” he added.“We’ll do some work this evening to try to understand why we weren’t going as fast. But I still want to be optimistic. We can be much higher, today didn’t go well.” “.
