After finishing ahead of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in the drivers’ championship last year, much was expected of Russell in F1 2023.

Particularly since the intr🅺oduction of Mercedes’ sidepod upgrade in Monaco, Russell has been no match🍰 for Hamilton.

Whi൲le the points difference is only 49 to Hamilton, Russell is on the backfootꦯ going into the second half of the season.

Speaking before the summer break, Wolff addressed Russell’s difficult𝓡ies with th🌸e W14.

“These cars are on the💦 knife’s edge,” Wolff ex🌊plained.

“You can quickly fall off it and 🐼lose the confidence. On the other side, if you’re within that corridor of sweet spot… having said that, that car [W14] has no sweet spot!

“But being more ✱in that zone of understanding what it will do next, I think there’s a big difference and you can quickly be ﷽in either one of these situations, and obviously it goes against you.”

Technical director Mike Elliott is 💟confident Russell will turn it around soon.

“I ♏think th🌄ese cars are hard to drive and they’re running close to the ground,” Elliott added.

“And 🔯it’s tricky to sort of find that right balance through the corner. It’s t🤪ricky to do [that] with the stiffness of the cars.

“George is a fantastic driver🌺 so I’m sure he’ll get what he🔯 needs to get out of the car fairly quickly.”
