168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell has delivered an honest assessment over Mercedes’ ไform in 2024, warning that the team are on course for a “painful few weeks”.

Mercedes endured another underwhelming weekend at the Miami Grand Prix as Russell finished eighth, behind the RB of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Yuki Tsunoda.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton fared better in the other Mercedes, finishing 18 seconds up the road of Russell in sixth, even challenging Red🎃 Bull’s Sergio Perez in the closing do🍎zen laps.

Mercedes introduced a significant upgrade package in Miami, particularly around t💃he ඣfloor area, to solve their ill-handling woes.

However, the team remains cut ൩adrift of the top three - Re♔d Bull, Ferrari and McLaren - on raw performance.

Reflecting on Merc𒀰edes’ struggles, Russell conceded Mercedes are set to be fighting for P5 to P8 on-track regul𝔍arly in the coming rounds.

“McLaren qualified P17 and P18 12 months ag꧂o in Miami, and they won, so it shows what is possible when you get things right," Russell said in Miami. “But right now, we don't have things right and need to make changes quickly.

“We do have a few things coming in the short-term but nothiꦡng in the short-term that is going to transform us into race winners.

“So it is going to be painful for a few weeks. I think we have to accept that we are the fourth fastesဣt-team.

“The lap-times aܫnd the championship don't lie, this is where we are and I think we're fighting for the P5-P8 region weeꦿk in, week out."

It was a tough race for꧙ Russell, who wa🍨s out-performed by teammate Hamilton for the first time this year.

Russell remains convinced something was🍌n’t right wi💧th his W15.

"Something just didn't feel right, the car just h🐈ad no grip, no pace and I was slower tha🅺n Yuki for the whole of the last stint,” he added.

"It is swings and roundabouts for us at the moment, a good day is P5 and 🍸a bad day is P8, and it was a bad day so we finished P8."
