Mercedes have admitted it’s “not obvious” what caused 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s difficult F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Hamilton bemoaned a lack of rear grip at Interl🍸agos as he struggled with꧒ the handling of his W15.

The seven-time world champion finished a lowly 10th as he failed to make it into Q3 in both qualify🅠ing sessions.

It was a p🧸oor weekend for Hamilton, who often thrive🐻s in wet conditions throughout his career.

On the other side of the Mercedes garage, teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell qualified o﷽n th♔e front row of the grid before leading the first portion of the race.

Had Mercedes followed Russell’s strategy suggestion, he could have potentially won th💯e race.

Speaking on the team’s YouTube channel, trackside engineering chief Andrew Shovlin spoke about the issues Hamilton faced in Brazil.

“Normal🅘ly you are able to𝔉 do it [set up the two cars],” he said. “You let the drivers deviate with the setup.

“They do not have to run the same, and we will let them evolve their own setup. And when one of them appears to be going well, you often take elements of that setup, or even th꧑e whole lot, and put it onto the other car.

“Now, it is fair to say Lewis was struggling predominantl☂y with a lack of rear grip. If we look at how he had set up his car, it is not obvious where that 𓆉was coming from.

“But in the Sprint race, as soon as you have got less grip and you are getting the snaps of oversteer 🐻on exit, you generate more temperature. That in itself will prolong the problem.

“Asꦰ with any race, we spend a lot of time digging into the data, trying to understand it, and Lewis’ engineering crew will be working with him on this issue, trying to make sure we get to the bottom of it before Vegas.”

💧Shovlin believes the varying weather in Brazil contributed to Hamilton’s struggles.

“The other f𒅌actor with the weekend was the conditions were very different,” he added.

“Sprint qualy, Sprint race, that was in the dry, it was very hot and t🅠hen the main qualy and the Grand Prix were in the wet. We did not have the session-after-session flow to it❀erate the setup and understand how to get the most out of the car.

“That is not the reason for the issue, but was certainly some♛thing that made it more difficult for him to get the setup that he wanted on for the race.”
