Lewis Hamilton voiced his frustration with Ferrari’s tactics during Q3 after he qualified sixth for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, saying “they changed the plan.” The Formula 1 driver, who was competing at the Baku City Circuit, expressed disappointment over the Italian team’s approach in the final qualifying session.
During Q3, Ferrari’s strategy appeared to shift, prompting Hamilton to comment that the team had altered their original plan. The change was seen as a key factor in the British star’s inability to secure a higher grid position.
“They changed the plan,” Hamilton said, reflecting on the unexpected adjustments made by the Scuderia.
