168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton admits Mercedes are yet to master what he has described as being a “very complex” F1 car - but insists “it’s not over yet”.

For the third st𝔉raight season, Mercedes have faced a difficult start to the campaign with an inconsistent an♛d underperforming car, despite making radical changes with their W15 challenger.

Mercedes suffered a nightmare weekend with a double DNF in A✨ustralia last time out, leaving them fourth in the constructors’ championship and already 72 points adrift of Red Bull.

When asked if Mercedes’ ongoing woes 𒊎have led him to the conclusion that the eight time constructors’ champions have not been able to master♔ F1’s new regulations, Hamilton replied: “I think we just haven’t yet. It’s not over yet.

“But I think with this sport, it’s naturally difficult if you start on the right foot and the first brick down has got a good foundation and continue to build on it, I think that’s what we experienced in the pa♛st years.

“When we started on this generation of car, we started with five bricks, good weight, had to knock it down and try again, knock it down and t🌟ry again and take off that performance basically.

“We’ve made all these changes, we’ve tried everything. Some🔯times lost our way, sometimes then found it and los♏t it again. I think it’s just very complex.”

And t♕he seven-time world champion remains convinced 💎there is real potential still to be unlocked from the W15.

“I definitely do feel more optimistic about th♋is car,” Hamilton said.

“Obviously i💖n the first couple of races, there’s been small showings of the car feel🌺ing great and we would have pace for a moment and then it kind of disappears.

“So there’s definitely p🧜erformance there. We just need to work on making this car more consistent and easier to drive.”

Hamilton is curre🌳ntly enduring his worst ever start to an F1 season but is determined to end his i🌺llustrious Mercedes stint on a positive note.

“Ultimately if you dwell on difficult times then there’s only one way you’re going,” he added. “I think it’s really good to be able to unplug and reset your focus on your goals🎀 moving forwards. And so I have a few of these things.

“But still the ultimate thing that keeps me up at night is w🐓hen we’re to be fighting for wins again. What can I do different? What can I do better in the car? How can I improve in qualifying? How can I deliver more for the team? What different set-up things could we take?

“So those things still keep you up. But we win and we lose this team, we’re very united, everyon🐎e’s working incredibly hard, so I’ve just got to continue at it.”
