LEWIS HAMILTON admits he is struggling to wring the most out of his Mercedes and claims he has been upstaged by his teammate George Russell. It is the third race in a row where Russell has been the fastest of the two teammates and Hamilton said: “I don’t know if I’m dealing with it that great. “George is doing a better job with our car, three qualifyings in a row that he’s out-qualified me. It’s the same as P2: P1 was a bit better and then when the wind picks up, the car becomes a lot more unstable. “But the others seem to be able to pick their pace up in qualifying. “It was a bit of a tricky weekend so far but we managed to get there in the end, so I’m very happy with that.
