« I can’t help it ». Lewis Hamilton is definitely cursed on Saturdays
« Shit! » Speaking to Canal +, Lewis Hamilton didn't mince his disappointment. As in China, the Englishman suffered an engine problem in qualifying. He will only start 10th tomorrow.
Unfortunately for Lewis Hamilton, his Saturdays are becoming monotonously similar. Just like two weeks ago in China, the Englishman couldn’t compete against Nico Rosberg. At the start of Q3, the three-time world champion was unable to begin his run due to a problem with his power unit. He will start 10th tomorrow, unless the severity of his technical issue forces him to start from the pits.
« It’s the second engine, the one I used in the previous race » revealed Hamilton about his cursed V6. « It’s a similar failure to the one I had during the last race. I got back on track in Q2 and lost power in the same way as in China » said Hamilton. There’s no doubt that Mercedes will spend the night wondering how such an issue could resurface…
“I can’t do anything about it,” lamented a fatalistic Hamilton. A few minutes later, on the Canal+ microphone, he even dropped a “so Frenchy” “Merde!” to journalist Laurent Dupin. A new comeback is expected for him in the middle of the pack… while Nico Rosberg has already taken more than one step toward claiming a fourth victory in four races.
