Hamilton rues early end to Japanese GP qualifying
Suzuka: Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has rued the red flag triggered by Daniil Kvyat’s crash in the Japanese Grand Prix qualifying that cost him a chance to take the pole position in qualifying here on Saturday.
Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg secured pole position, less than a tenth of a second up on teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Red Bull’s Daniil Kvyat met with a horrific crash at the end of qualifying.
Hamilton was going great guns on his final lap but was stopped in his tracks by Kvyat’s violent smash into the barriers, which gave Rosberg the opportunity to grab pole.
“That final lap had started so well – I was already a tenth and a half up by turn seven and getting excited,” Hamilton was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
“When the red flag came out I was like ‘nooo! The start will be key tomorrow because you can’t follow here and it is going to be very, very hard to pass.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
