168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes have been reminded that their hugely encouraging round in Canada came at an “outli♚er” track.

The true test of whether Toto Wolff’s team🌄 have finally turned a corner with their troublesom༒e car could come this weekend in Barcelona, they have been told.

The F1 Spanish Grand Prix will offer🧸 Mercedes the opportunity to build upon George Russell’s pole position, then P3 finish, in Montreal last time out.

Lewis Hamilton was fourth in Canada at a round where Mercedes o🍰ut-performed Ferrari.

“It’s been a long time since they’ve had a car that looks anything like a car they could campaign with,” Damonꦐ🌟 Hill told the Sky F1 podcast.

“The drivers were happy. Lewis was notably very happy. It’s not the first time - he’s been happy on a🐟 few Fridays but it seems to fade away.

“Geo🍷rge did a great job with the car that he had to🎃 get pole position.

“The car looked g🐷ood on the track. Jacques mentioned that it looked p✨lanted. He’s right.

“It wasn’t skittﷺish, it wasn’t porpoising, they could u🌊se a bit of kerb.

“They are comfortable,ౠ happy. The new front wing seems to be the trick that has harmonised the aerodynamics and brought p🐷erformance.

“But it is an outlier track, Canada.

“Tꦺo go to Barcelona is the ultimate test of t꧂heir progress.

“Barcelona is li🤪ke a wind tunnel, it’s pure 🗹aero. Medium to high speed everywhere.”

Naomi Schiff add𝕴ed: “You can tell the direction they’re going in is clearly working.

“Whether that’s because they are developing the car, rather than just putting out firꦗes, I am not enti✅rely sure.

“So many times Mercedes have brought updates that worked better than expected. Or o💞thers that they were expecting a lot out of, and there was not correlation between back at base and on track.

“Now, what they’ve done has unlocke🅺d p♒otential that was already in the car.

“Everyone🍃 is singing ▨the praises of the front wing.

“But it’s not necessarily just the fr♑ont wing that brings performance.

“It’s the correlation of wඣhat it’s doing with how it is inter🦩acting with the rest of the car.

“Canada is an outlier. Bꦓarcelona has proven to b🌼e, in the past, because of its variation of corners, a track that can give an indication of how a car will perform at other circuits.”

This weekend’s F1 Spanishꦰ Grand Prix kickstarts a triple-heading including Austria and Silverstone.
