Lewis Hamilton: “I told them” - Mercedes “must own up and say ‘we didn’t listen’”
Mercedes have started the 2023 se✅ason with the fourth-fastest car behind Red Bull, Ferrari and Aston Martin.
Red Bull stormed to a dominant 1-2 finish in the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, while Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell finished fifth and seventh respectively.
Whilꦬe th🐻e issue of porpoising is no longer there, the W14 simply lacks downforce and mechanical grip.
After a difficult week🌼end in Bahrai🧔n, Hamilton has appeared to take a more critical stance on Mercedes’ plight.
“Last year, I told them the issues that are with the car,” Hamilton told the BBC. “Like, I’ve driven so many cars ꦕin my l♋ife, so I know what a car needs, I know what a car doesn’t need.
“And I think it’s rea♉lly about accountability, it’s about owning up and saying ‘yeah, you know what, we didn’t listen to you, it’s 𒐪not where it needs to be and we’ve got to work’.
“We’ve go🌳t to look into the balance through the corners, l🃏ook at all the weak points and just huddle up as a team, that’s what we do.
“We’re still multi world champions you know, it’s just they haven’t got it right ꩲthis time, they didn’t get it right last year, but that do𓆏esn’t mean we can’t get it right moving forwards.”
Hamilton admitted Mercedes’ form is reminiscent of his days with McLaren in the early 2010s, when they often didn’t have the outright pace of Red Bull and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel.
“I enjoyed that I managed to have a couple of battles,” he a⭕dded.. “A💃nd it was close, but not quite there.
“And I’ve had many car♏s like this, particularly back in the𒅌 McLaren days, and I don’t know when or how we’re going to do it in terms of turning it around, but it’s going to have to happen.”
