Mercedes have introduced a significant upgrade for this weekend as they look to turnaround their miserable start to the campaign.

Mercedes are with💦out a podium finish in the opening six races - the last time this has happened was in 2011.

However, Hill is unconvinced by their level of performance on Frida💯y.

꧑“I am still going to be the voice of doom,” Hill sai☂d. “It is Friday and I have seen this before.

“Happy on a Friday then, all of a su෴dden on a Saturday, Max and Red Bull drop a load of fuel out of the car and turn the engine a bit. Let’s see what happens tomorrow.”

Mercedes currently si𒁏t a distant fourth in the F1 constructors’ championship, 60 points behin♏d customer team McLaren.

Former W Series♋ driver Naomi Schiff thinks Mercedes’ form i🌊n practice was a welcome boost given that there has been “really low energy” inside the team amid their poor results.

“It was nice to hear them say positive things because it has been really ღlow energy from the team for a while,” she added.

“It’s nice to see that whatever they b𝓰rought this weekend, it’s working for them. Hopefully they have something that is compe𒅌titive.

“Today they were four tenths off the pace. That’s still not right there. But they are within a fightingꦇ chan🐬ce.

“We still have FP3 and 🏅qualifying then, apparently, different co🌸nditions on Sunday.”
