Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton failed to qualify for Q3 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix held in Baku and will start from 12th place. This was one of Hamilton's worst results this season and was considered an unexpected outcome for the team. Hamilton's failure in the qualifying session, despite showing good results in the practice sessions earlier in the race weekend, surprised his fans.
Redaksiya reports that Hamilton's Ferrari performed poorly not due to technical problems or driver errors, but rather due to difficulties with the car's balance. Team specialists state that there were difficulties in maintaining the optimal temperature of the car's tires, which led to a loss of speed. Hamilton's teammate Charles Leclerc, however, achieved a better result in qualifying, securing a place in the front rows.
This result will lead the Ferrari team to make changes in their race strategy and take additional measures to help Hamilton climb to higher positions in the race. During the race itself, it is eagerly awaited how Hamilton's car performance will change and what his results will be. The team will try to create better opportunities for Hamilton by changing tire strategy or taking other tactical steps during the race.
