Hamilton: "I wasn't spinning, I didn't really make any mistakes"

During the crazy qualifying in Turkey, the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas were suddenly nowhere to be seen. Hamilton will start from sixth place, while we find Bottas in ninth place.

No words

"I don't know what to say. We did the best we could and this was the fastest we could," said Hamilton after qualifying in Sky Sports F1. The Brit said it was like driving on an ice rink.

"Somehow some teams can change the tyres a little easier than we can. I think everyone had some trouble in the end, but some did better than others," continues Hamilton.

No errors

"I did the best I could. I wasn't spinning, I didn't really make any mistakes, so I'm actually satisfied with what I did," says the six-time world champion. He does call it one of the most awful qualifying sessions of his career.
