Lewis Hamilton declined to publicly criticize Mercedes after a botched qualifying effort at the Monaco Grand Prix. He'll save his feedback for a private team meeting.
The driver with a record 100 poles in his career qualified a measly seventh ahead of Sunday's race. Hamilton might have picked up a few spots on the starting grid but the seven-time Formula One champion was not able to finish his final qualifying lap because the session ended when pole-sitter Charles Leclerc crashed with 18 seconds remaining in Saturday's session.
Even if Leclerc had not crashed, Hamilton was unlikely to crack the top three. “I can’t really say too much about it, also I don’t want to be critical of the team.
