Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle says Mercedes are confused about ‘Diva 2.0’ car and 'surviving' 2023 season

Despite bringing a fairly sizeable upgrade to their underperforming and revised W14 car, Mercedes failed to🔯 take a notable step forward in competitiveness across the Belgian Grand Prix 💞weekend.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton finished fourth in Sunday’s grand prix while teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell came home𓃲 sixth, with the Mercedes duo split by Fer💜nando Alonso’s Aston Martin.
“They will be very frustrated. Their car is on a knife-edge 🥃to set up, to understand, to drive,” Brundle said on Sky’s coverage.
“Then they suddenly promiღse a great result, get something special then go 🧸to the next race with upgrades, and fall off the pace.
"I would imagine they are co🐻nfused with thi🔥s car. Diva 2.0, I think they call it.
“They are surviving the season, as they did last 🃏year, and making the best of a bad situ🐻ation because they are a great team.”

However, fellow Sky F1 pundit and for𝔉mer W Series racer Naomi Schiff feels the global picture is no⛄t so bad for Mercedes.
“Despite Fernando’s great🐭 recovery today, Lewis is in a good position [to claim P3 in the drivers’ standings],” she said. “We had a pole position from Lewis.
“Even though the global picture is not them on the podium at each race event, they have a car that on a Sunday reall൩y does perform.
“Today the bigger concern was the Ferraris, they had fantastic pace in the dry and the wet, their car is in a window where it’sꦉ really working.
“Lewis was 2-3s behind Charles the whole r✃ace. He didn’t have enough in the end it chase him down.
“There’s enough to be 𒉰positive about. They have a car, unlike other teams who are very track-specific, they are consistently there or ther💝eabouts. Something to build on, for sure.”
