The Mercedes driver finished down in sixth at the Red Bull Ring
Lewis Hamilton labelled his showing in sprint qualifying for Formula 1's Austrian Grand Prix as 'pretty disastrous' as he admitted he didn't deliver a single good lap.Mercedes had high hopes of a good showing in the shoot-out for grid positions for Saturday's sprint race, with the car having shown some promising pace early on.
'Russell, who fared slightly better, suspects that a too aggressive out-lap meant he pushed his tyres too hard – meaning they were not in the ideal window for the final SQ3 effort.'The soft felt really good, to be honest, and my lap felt really strong,' he said. 'I was pretty surprised at the gap, but I think I probably over-egged it on my out laps.'I took too much life out my tyres, on the out lap, and I think probably just took that sort of peak grip away from it.
