Mercedes are bringi🃏ng a modified floor to this weekend’s r🎶ace at the Circuit of the Americas as they look to balance their quest to claim second place in the constructors’ championship alongside learning for 2024. 

While the upgrade is expected to be worth around a tenth of a second in outright performance terms, it is focused on setting ♔Mercedes’ development path for next year’s W15 chall꧂enger. 

“It’s the last big one,” Russell told Sky on Thursday. “Altogether, full focus is on ’ܫ24 back at the factory and in the windtunnel and the design office. 

“This is a smaꦛll step in that direction. We’re not expecting🔥 it to change the world. 

“I think the things we’ve got lined up for♏ next season should have a much greater impact than this weekend.”

Asked if it was closer to the direction Red Bull have successfully used in getting their ultra♏-domi🔴nant RB19 to work, Russell replied: “No, I wouldn’t say so. 

“Of course that’s what you are hoping 🌱for [to be as quick as the Red Bull]. The thing is in F1 when you bring an update, this is work that was created eight weeks ago. 

“Because from the time of putting it in the windtunnel, ✤understanding what you want, then you go to manufacturing, then get it ac🐬tually to the car, it’s a long process of work. But we’ve made some interesting finds recently. 

“We’ve been doing a lot of workꦐ on the simulator, two days last week, developing, straight after Qatar and I think we’re going in a right direction for next season.” 

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton echoed Russell’s comments as he praised the work his team have done back at the factory. ও;

“It’s been a huge amount of work at the factory, this is our last big update,” the seven-time world cham🌳pion said. 

“I’m really excite🧔d to see how it feels. The amazing people at the factory worked hard all season. 

“Hopefully it tips the need🃏le a little and helps us in the direction that we want to pursue next year. 

“I don’t know in which parts of the circuit I will feel it, but hopefully it’s a global improvement♍ and hopefully it puts us a little bi𝔍t closer to the guys ahead.”
