“It was a really, really difficult qualifying session,” admitted Hamilton. “I’d felt so optimistic all weekend, the car had been feeling good. “Everyone back at the factory has worked so hard to bring an upgrade and I was really hopeful that we were going to be much, much closer than we were. “But once we got to qualifying, I don’t know if it’s because the temperatures dropped, or the wind, or what, but the car was such a handful all of a sudden and not like any other time we’ve driven it [here]. I was expecting a bit more.”
Mercedes have brought their last substantial upgrade of the season for their W13 to Austin but Hamilton believes it has not brought them any closer to Red Bull.“I think we might be able to keep up with them through the corners but in pure pace they are just… No matter what upgrade we bring, the gap stays the same.
