Despite starting from fifth on the grid, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton dropped down the order as he struggled with outright pace, losing out to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris and then 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso as🌳 he served his five-second penalty for track limits.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell ultimately fin😼ished eighth after starting the race from 11t𒁃h.

It meant that Merce♐des were arguably the fifth-fastest team in Austria - behind Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren and Aston Ma🍎rtin.

In recent years, Mercede𝔉s have tended to struggle in Austr🧸ia, while Hamilton’s record at the Red Bull Ring is fairly average by his high standards.

Speaking to Sky🍷 after th🐭e race, Wolff admitted “the car had no pace”.

“The car had no pace today,” he said.

"It’s a bruising day I would say because we had such a good upward trend and you have to taꦫke such a day.

“There was no pace and no inkling why yet.” 

Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz speculated that Hamilton was n𝕴ursing a brake issue in the fir𒆙st stint.

Wolff explained why 𓄧Hamilton struggled with brakin🦩g.

“I think the moment you slide those tyres be it through braking or the cornꦡers you have no grip,” he added. This is what happened.”
