Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and George Russell have admitted they are uncertain of making it through to the final part of Italian Grand Prix Qualifying on Saturday after an unconvincing display in Friday practice.
The British pairing, who both had contract extensions until the end of 2025 confirmed on Thursday, appeared to be in solid shape after finishing fifth and eighth in the opening session of the weekend.However, Russell could only manage ninth in Practice Two, with Hamilton down in 17th after giving up crucial running time to change his car's setup midway through the session.
'As soon as we put the car on track here for some reason it just adapted a lot better and it was a lot easier to set up and drive it per corner. It doesn't mean that we are going to be P1 tomorrow and in the race, but at least the feeling is much better.
