Lewis Hamilton will start his last-ever race for the Mercedes F1 team in P18 after the Briton was eliminated in the Q1 session following a messy final lap. The seven-time champion detailed the issues he faced during the final lap in Q1 and the factors that restrained him from taking part in qualifying further.
Lewis Hamilton was asked whether he could've done anything different during the qualifying session. He said (via F1TV live):
“No, just my luck. But, it’s ok! I tried, we tried so hard with the setup, we got the car in a great place. It was looking good in FP3 so I was really thinking maybe a podium is really possible this weekend but timing was not optimised for the session, I was the last one on the track and ended up behind one of the Alpines right at the end. I just ran out of time.”
