“Yes, the car is continuing to improve. Everyone is taking a step, hopefully, closer to the Red ꦬBulls and that’s been really positive,” the seven-time world champion said.
“Incredibly proud of everyone back at the factory, just how hard everyone is worki🥂ng and ho𝓰w resilient everyone is. Everyone is staying focus and the morale is really great in the team.”

“We’ve got the upgrade, both cars have gotꦏ ♎the upgrade this weekend so I’m looking forward to seeing how that feels on track.”
Hamilton was also asked where Mercedes have managed to make the ൲biggest gains with the W1🐬5.
“The biggest improvement f🌠or this year has been ride quality and get the car lower, which is what others have been able to do,” he explained.
“Then stability on entry of corners, the car is far more predictable than it ever was, and more stable, particularly the last couple of years. This year’s is 🍌more stable so you can be a lot more committed into the corners.
“But through corner balance is where we’ve been lacking, and where others have taken a big step, so that’s what we’reꦰ trying to work on.”
