Lewis Hamilton downbeat after being outperformed by team-mate George Russell in qualifying again

Daily Mail  

George Russell is the best performing Mercedes driver of the moment. Lewis Hamilton was beaten by George Russell in qualifying again on Saturday Hamilton could only finish sixth in qualifying, two places behind his team-mate Hamilton has regularly finished behind Russell in the early stages of the season Hamilton, so often a one-lap master, cut a slightly disconsolate figure in his post-session interviews. I don’t know what I am going to do, but I will just continue to work hard and try to figure it out.’ Asked if the upgrades put him back in the championship mix, Hamilton said: ‘I am not really putting my mind to that because I am still way off.’ That is undeniable. ‘We now have a better idea of the direction we need to go and we are just waiting for the engineers and the aerodynamicists to come through with some more bits for us to progress.’ Hamilton is still hoping to turn things around after a difficult start to the season Russell is playing both a short, medium and long game. George Russell is excited for the future after beating his team-mate again in qualifying Leclerc will have to be on his guard at the start of Sunday's race given that Verstappen has done brilliantly to win the last two rounds and stands 19 points behind the Monegasque on whom fortune has smiled more broadly so far.
