Lewis Hamilton doesn’t have “full faith” in Mercedes rear end in Saudi Arabia
Lewis Hamilton reflects on a tri𒀰cky Thursday at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton is eager for Mercedes to𒀰 give him a “stable rear” after a tricky second practice at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prixꦚ.
The seven-time world champion ended FP2 eighth overall in the timesheets,🦩 nearly 0.8s off Fernando Alonso’s top time.
It wasn’t a smooth session for Hamilton, who had a number of oversteer moments, and a near-miss with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant.
Hamilton was warned by theꩲ F1 stewards following an investigation while Mercedes were fined after Sargeant was forced to take evasive action.
In terms of Hamilton’s competitiveness, he was over 0.4s off teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, who was second-fastest.
“Difficult day,” Hamilton said. “Just lacking confidence in the rear of the car. We did some work from session to session, changed quite a bit 🉐but underlying issues with the rear end that I was struggling with.
“I had a couple of really big moments out there. In these high-speed areas you need to have full faith in the rear of the c🍬ar and I just haven’t got that yet.”
Hamil⛦ton ಞalso revealed that he and Russell “went in different directions” with their setup.
“I need to go through the data and stuff. George ꦍwas obviously a lot happꦺier with his car.
“We went in different directions today. We w𓂃ill try and find the right solution for the car.
“All I want is a stable rea𝓰rꦕ and then I will be happy so that’s what I am working on.”
Hamilton’s most recent F1 victory came in Saudi Arabia, back in 2021, where he finished ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.
