Lewis Hamilton has struggled with the handling of his Mercedes car at the Mexico City GP, describing it as a nightmare to drive. Despite making changes before qualifying, Hamilton and his teammate George Russell qualified sixth and eighth respectively, with Ferrari unexpectedly locking out the front row.
Lewis Hamilton has described Mercedes' car as being 'a bit of a nightmare to drive' at the Mexico City GP with their hopes of repeating their impressive form from last week in the USA hitherto failing to materialise this weekend.
'In a perfect world I could have been fifth but that's about it.'Despite the challenges, Hamilton's final lap of Q3, which saw him leapfrog Russell, was actually only 0.288s away from surprise pole-sitter Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari.
