168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton is eager for Mercedes to give him a “stab🦂le rear” after a tricky second practice at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

The seven-t▨ime world champion ended FP2 eigh🌱th overall in the timesheets, nearly 0.8s off Fernando Alonso’s top time.

It wasn’t a smooth session for Hamilton, who had a number of oversteer moments, and a near-miss with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant.

Hamilton was warned by the F1 stewards following an investigation whileꦚ M🍬ercedes were fined after Sargeant was forced to take evasive action.

In terms of Hamilton’s competitiveness, he was over 0.4s off teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, who was second-fastest.

“Difficult day,” Hamilton said. “Just lack🃏ing confidence in the rear of the car. We did some work from session to session, changed quite a bit but underlying issues with the rear end that I was struggling with.

“I had a couple of really big moments out there. In th💃ese high-speed areas you need to have full faith in the rear of the car and I just haven’t ♈got that yet.”

“I 𝔉need to go through the data and stuff. George was obviously a lot happier with his car.

“We went 💙in different directions today. We will try and find the right solution for the car.

“All I want is a stable rear and th♏en I wil♍l be happy so that’s what I am working on.”

Hamilton’s most recent F1 victory came in Saudi Arabia, back in 2021, where he finished ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.
