After finishing ahead of teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in the drivers’ championship last year, much was expected of Russell in F1 2023.

🐭Particularly since the introduction of Mercedes’ sidepod upgrade in Monaco, Russell has been no match for Hamilton.

While the points diffe🎀rence is only 49 to Hamilton, Russell is on the backfoot going into the second half of the season.

✱Speaking before the s💧ummer break, Wolff addressed Russell’s difficulties with the W14.

“These cars are on the knife’s edge,” ♋Wolff explained.

“You can quickly fall off it and lose the confidence. On the other side, if you’re with🌃in that corridor&nbsꦗp;of sweet spot… having said that, that car [W14] has no sweet spot!

“But being more in that zone of understanding what it will do next, I think there’s a big difference and you can quickly be in either one of these situations, and obv▨iously it goes against you.”

Technical direc🎃tor Mike Elliott is confident Russe🦩ll will turn it around soon.

“I think these cars are hard to drive and they’re running close toဣ the ground,” Elliott adde🔯d.

“And it’s tricky to s🌞ort of find that right balance through the corner. It’s tricky to do [that] with the stif🌳fness of the cars.

“George is a fantastic driver so I’m sure he’ll get what he needs to get out of the car fairly quick🥃ly.”
