“We’re a long way off the pace of Red Bull, Ferrari, even the likes of AlphaTauri, Alfa Romeo are seemingly on our pace or even qu🤡icker," sওaid George Russell. 

“It’s clear it’s all about lap time and we are certainly not where we want to be,” 🐓he said. “I think we made a bit of progress solving some issues but the pace is just not there at the moment."

Asked whether he has considered changing his wheel-to-wheel approach in order to combat Verstappen’s more aggressive stance, Hamilton r🍎eplied: “I will be a more aggressi💛ve driver this year. You’ll see.”

“I’m hoping my guys have come up with some sort of solution going into this weekend and when I get in the c🌠a𒁏r today it feels better.

“But I know there’s not a huge ch🍒ange in such a short space of time. So we'll still most likely have some of the problems that we had las🃏t week. 

“Mentally, it’s jus🔯t about mꦰaking sure you are extracting everything in every other area. All I can do is control how I’m performing in the car, just trying to be positive and knowing that we are all working together in the team. 

“It is the best team and I’m ve𝔍ry grateful for the group of peopꦜle I have behind me, so confident we can make it through somehow.” 

Vers♚tappen sarcastically suggested Mercedes would finish “dead last” this season because they have developed an “awful car”, in what appeared to be a swipe at the 🥃reigning world champions repeatedly downplaying its prospects for 2022. 

"I thi🐈nk they'll be dead last,” Verstappen said. “According to their comments – I think they have an awful car, and they've had that already since 2017 in pre-season testing. 

“No, we'll find out. But they for sure will b💞e competitive.” 

Hamilton fine confirmed - it will be invested into diversity and inclusion

The FIA have confirmed that Hamilton’s fine for failing to attend the♍ 2021 end-of-year gala will be paid🥀 as a donation to diversity and inclusion.

Hamilton met with the FIA president Mohammed Bin 🦹Sulay🔯em this week.

“In the spirit of commitment to building a more diverse sport in the future, the FIA president gave his full support to Hamilton’s donation of 50,000 Euros that will be used to support a stu🙈dent fromꦉ a disadvantaged background in achieving an educational qualification in motorsport,” an FIA statement read.

The seven-ti𝔉me world champion had shared his findings from the Hamilton Commission.

“The FIA reminded Hamilton of his oblig𓆉ation of sportsmanship, particularly in view of his status in motorsport,” the statement concluded.
