Hamilton endured a forgettable day in Texas, qualifying miserably in 19th, his worst qualifying result in seven years.
"In an effort to get the car back to the sweet spot we had on Friday, we made some set-up adjustments ahead of qualifying. Sadly these didn't have the desired effect. Shovlin said: “George fared slightly better and was on a strong lap in Q3 but came unstuck at turn 12 with a lock up and then finally Turn 19 with his off.The team will be working hard through the evening in order to do that.
“We made some set-up changes to tackle this ahead of qualifying, but we continued to struggle and couldn’t unlock the same level of performance we had seen on Friday, with Lewis finishing P19 and George P6 but unable to complete his final flying lap. Hamilton said:"That was a tough day. The sprint was a difficult session for us with the car not feeling as strong as it did .“We made some changes ahead of qualifying to counteract that and try to push us in a direction that could get the car closer to how it felt on Friday, but we continued to struggle.
