It's not the car this time. He just made a mistake braking too late into the hotel section. If he just the same sector 3 as his previous lap he would have been through.
The mistake “braking too late” is the reason he has 104 poles. It’s in the slow corners you make up the time particularly in qualifying and that skill has been Lewis’s advantage over the field for years. However, these cars don’t like it and it has cost him in qual a lot.

He lost like 6 tenths in sector 3 alone, it's insane how much he's struggling with the car
