Lewis Hamilton blames the Red Bulls

Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton admitted after Saturday morning's Sprint Qualifying that his disappointing SQ3 result was due to losing the tow from the Red Bulls, affecting his straight-line speed. Hamilton could only manage sixth during the shortened qualifying session on Saturday, meaning he lined-up sixth on the grid for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix sprint race. This was one position lower than he managed Friday afternoon, where the 38-year-old qualified fifth for Sunday's traditional race. Hamilton was pleased with his performance Saturday morning except for in SQ3, with the Red Bulls ahead of him having 'pulled too far ahead'. Want to work in Formula 1? Browse the latest F1 job...
