Mercedes told to be cautious with warning early enthusiasm could be ‘dashed’
Can Mercedes carry over their posiꦚtive start at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix into qualifying?

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell have been advised to be cautious after Mercedes’ positive start at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton said Mercedes had their “best session of the year” in Friday practice at Suzuka as he fin🌃ally appeared upbeat about the team’s inconsistent W15 🍌car.
Hamilton finished fifth in FP1, one place behind teammate Russell, with both just under half a second behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s Red Bull in th😼e only representat🎉ive session of the day.
But 1996 wo🌃rld champion Damon Hill is worried Mercedes’ early optimism could be “dඣashed” when it comes to qualifying.
“I’m hoping their enthusiasm for this car won’t be dashed tomorrow. We’ve seen the up and down nature of Mercedes,”💜 Hﷺill told Sky F1.
“It’s the most positive I’ve heard these drivers sound for years. It’s am♛azing they have got enthusiasm to press on in the way that they have done.
“They’ve had a punishing start toꦺ the seaꦰson. And a few years.
“Australia was brutal to them, a mechanical failur✨e fo🉐r the engine and a crash for George.
“They have probably got every 🤡reason to be hopeful for this event. It can’t get anyಞ worse.”
Meanwhile, former F1 s👍trategist Bernie Collins warned that rival teams including the likes of Red B🌠ull and Ferrari are yet to show their “full hand”.
“A lot o𓄧f the 💝feedback you get is based on the timesheets at the end of the day,” Collins said.
“Have we seen everything from the other drivers out there today? I don’t know⭕ what they were testing.
“Both Red Bull and Ferrari brought upgrades so maybe they were testing in FP1, and haven’t shown their fuꦬll hand. Becﷺause they will be looking through that tonight.
“The drivers sound positive probably based on how the car feels, and a little on the timesheets. But we don’t know what the ti🐻mesheets will read aftဣer qualy.”
