北京時間4月13日，F1巴林大獎賽排位賽結束。漢密爾頓正賽第9位發車，隊友勒克雷爾第2位發車。賽后，漢密爾頓接受了採訪。

Hamilton said: "The adjustments we made last night took us back in Practice 3, and although we made further changes to our settings before qualifying, the overall performance was not as good as it could have been, and I couldn't find the performance window I needed myself. ”

'Kudos to Leclerc, he did a great job today. On the positive side, yesterday's long distance test looked like there was a lot of potential, there was still a long way to go, and we still had a chance to go further. ”

'I had a terrible performance today, no reason, I didn't do my job well, so I'm very sorry for the team not getting there.
