The problems that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton experienced in qualifying for the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix have been debated.

The Mercedes driver mentioned “inten𝓀se bouncing” - a horrible reminder of the key issue which has blighted the cars from the past two F1 seasons.

But other details have been noted after Hamilton battled to a P8 starting grid pᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ🦄⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚosition in qualifying.

“This weekend, particular𝐆ly Lewis has complained about the balance of the car,” Naomi Schiff said on Sky S💙ports.

“What he was referring to was poss🔯ibly a bit of weight transfer issues.

“Anti-dive is something that can into effect on a track like this, where you limit the amount of roll from the front to the rear, so your weight 🐲distribution is even.

“That way, when you dive into the corner, it doesn’t make the rea𓃲r light.

“Which seems to be what he’s complaining about here. The others - the 𓃲Red Bull - just seems to not be rolling from front to🌃 rear.”

Bernie Collins described the Mercedes W15 in Saudi Arabia: “A quick car in 𒀰a straight line and they are confid🧸ent in their race pace.

“But unfortunately, on this track, it is di🔯fficult to overtake.

“So what can they do? Can they doꦛ something strategically? It’s going to be on a knife-edge - waiting for a Safety Car or jumping early, waiting for an und♛ercut.

“It’s going to be a real cat and mouse game.”

Hamilton will begin behind both Red Bulls, both McLarens, Fer💛rari’s Charles 🌺Leclerc, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Mercedes teammate George Russell.

H🎉amilton was asked what is causing the bouncing that he experiences in the W15.

He replied: “We've tried every set-up change✃. We🍷 can't get rid of it. It's difficult to explain it.

"We had some bouncing in Ba🦩hrain but nowhere ne🐭ar as intense as here.

"That first sector is super high-speed wiꦆth a lot of yaw in the car and a lot of lateral load and the bouncing really♛ offsets the car quite a bit.

"If you imagine when the car goes up and d🐽own at the back, your bala♍nce shifts forwards and rearwards.

"If you are doing that at 160 or 170mpm, correcting that each time...the others 🅠like Ma𒀰x are flat through six, seven and eight  and the balance is just stable. That's what we are working towards.

"We've got🥀 to fix it. It's three years in a row. We've got to get on top of it."
