Lewis Hamilton fires warning to Red Bull after ‘great’ day for Mercedes at F1 Dutch GP
Hamilton finished third-fastest in opening practice before ending up fourth in FP2, just over three-tenths adrift of surprise pacesetter 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.
The British duo appear the drivers most likely to challenge Red Bull’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen - who topped FP1 - over one lap in qualifying, based on Friday’s runniꦡng.
“It 💙was great,” Hamilton said. “I w𓆏oke up so excited to be in the car.
“P1 was actually a really good session for us. T🔜he car was feeling good from the get-go. Great work from🌞 everyone at the factory.
“We made some c𝓰hanges from P1 to P2. It wasn’t as good, but it’s good data to have. We’ve got some work to do tℱonight to see if we can turn it around for tomorrow.”
The seven-timeꦡ world cha𓄧mpion added: “We’re there or thereabouts. Not as quick as the Red Bulls, and obviously the McLarens look really quick.
“McLaren was much quicker in the first sector than us. P൩articularly on the long run, the tyre is overheating, which I think everyone has✨ had.
“It’sౠ trying to extract th𒉰e most from the tyres, and getting them into the right window to start your lap.
“We’ve been slow in tꦛhe first sector but good in the last sector. We’re trying to find the right balance.”
Asked who he thinks Mercedes𝐆’ fight is with, Hamilton replied: “Right with them, hop𒅌efully. The Red Bulls are a little quicker, as always.
“So I don’t anticipate t💜hat we’ll easily be able to beat them. But I think we☂’ll be close.
“We’ll be gunning for as high as possible. It would be gre💖at to be in the top three in qualy. It depends on the work we do tonight.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell had a more difficult day in the other♌ Mercedes, placing o𝓡utside the top-10 in both sessions.
