Saudi Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton Says His Mercedes is "at a bit of a loss."
By Michaels Monday
Lewis Hamilton claims he is "at a bit of a lost" with this year's Mercedes racecar.
At the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the seven-time champion qualified eighth fastest, trailing teammate George Russell by four positions and 0.366 seconds.
George did a fantastic job, according to Hamilton, who is sitting in the second row. It is clear that the car is capable.
"I just don't feel like this car belongs to me. I've tried everything, but I just can't become comfortable with it. I'm at a bit of a loss."
Hamilton acknowledged that his poor performance was "largely me" and that he was having trouble with the Jeddah street circuit's fast turns.
"And if you don't have that vehicle underneath you, you'll never be able to push it hard around the turns in sector one of the Jeddah lap. Sector One is where [the time loss] occurs in full, and George can avoid it by driving around it and feeling more confident in the car."
