Instead, the troubles were felt by Mercedes in Saturday’s Shootout as Hamilton could only qualify P18 for the Sprint. His team mate George Russell also had problems of his own – despite reaching Q2, a hydraulics issue meant he was forced to stay in the garage, leaving him 15th.
Lando Norris backed up his qualifying performance yesterday, with another strong showing to take P3, while Haas’s Nico Hulkenberg takes an impressive P4.
