A new theory ha♌s been suggested for the cause of Mercedes’ issues with the W15.

Their F1 2024 car has not yet shown much reason for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell to be optimistic.

At the F1 Japanese Grand Prix last time out, 💝they finished ninth and seveꦑnth with the Red Bulls and Ferraris occupying the first four positions.

Both McLarens were also ahead of Hamilton.

“It keeps happening every singl🍎e weekend,” F1TV’s Alex Jacques said on the  podcast.

“They have 🍸sessions and say ‘we are not too discouraged’.

“Then the lights go out🌸 and they look noth𝄹ing like…

🎀“We are used to Mercedes being in this position now which is the disappointing thing for ⭕them.

“[Thಌe F1꧅ Japanese Grand Prix] was a long, long afternoon. You heard it in the radio messages from George and Lewis - they got flatter, and flatter, and flatter.

“It tells the story of where they are, right no🅰w.”

Tom Clarkso🧸n then suggested: “I think the tale of woe starts before ℱthat.

“It seems⛦ that, as soon as they take the fuel out of the car, it starts to go wrong.”

Tom Kristensen, the nine-times Le Mans winner, said: “The car is a diva, it’s on a kni💟fe-edge🌊.

“They don’t know what to expect when t🤪here is a wind direction change or a temperature change.

“They are on different compounds, as well.

“Every now and again, they perform well, strong, good. Other times they are not, and that frustrates 🔴people.

“Toto is trying to lead the gang. He’s trying to show that🏅 they need to work hard, stick together, do a good job.

“They are d🧔ef🌊initely frustrated and looking for hope, looking for answers. Which they don’t get.

“They are a team in trouble at the moment. I don’t know when they will be winning agaꦡin, or on the podium again.”

Are Mercedes miles away from catching McLaren?

“No,” Jacques insisted. “Because once they get a comprehension of the car, once the correlation ꧅is sorted, once they understand the concept, look at how ⛦quickly McLaren were able to turn the page last season.

“Once you know the direction to go in…

“🌜Toto said after the ra🌄ce that they are effectively going testing.

“Until they understand it, t🎃hey can’t push in on🌊e direction.

“In that way, they are miles off for𒊎 the moment. But it’s a world championship calibre team.

“They will🐟 understand what’s wrong with the car. And once they do, they will come roaring back towards the end of the year.”
