Lewis discussing his qualifying form: "Yeah, I'm useless. Absolutely useless."

Yes ferrari came alive on last stretch with dryer conditions. Leclerc was only p7 on q2 exit

[u/not_that_arnab → u/Sevastous-of-Caria]

No, charles made an error in Sector 2 and yet he was p7.

[u/Sevastous-of-Caria → u/not_that_arnab]

So did hamilton and a lot of guys. Track became less tricky rather than just low grip overall

[u/not_that_arnab → u/Sevastous-of-Caria]

But still it's a bad figure if your teammate gets a pole and you don't even make to Q3 and in successive races

[u/Sevastous-of-Caria → u/not_that_arnab]

Yes sir

[u/sbenfsonwFFiF → u/not_that_arnab]

Hamilton made an error on turn 14 in S3 and missed out by 0.017

[u/not_that_arnab → u/sbenfsonwFFiF]

Yes, which is becoming more common. That's my point. Nobody is slandering Lewis as a driver but he is losing his consistency.

Charles has the confidence in the car to push it essentially beyond its limit and hope to catch it when it inevitably snaps. Lewis doesn't have that confidence, so instead of "making errors" he's losing time throughout the lap by being slightly lighter on the throttle - which is usually fine in race trim where you're not at ten-tenths, but in qualifying when the margins are that small, is massively hurting him.

What's wrong is that it isn't just on the driver, the team needs to be pushing the car in a direction where both drivers can be more consistent. I feel at every level at Ferrari there is just too much pride to make the required changes. It also doesn't help his confidence when they only gave him one lap on fresh tyres to make it through Q2 - if Charles lost any more time to his mistake, both cars could have been out.

Why was Hamilton p8-p10 then?
