A new♉ theory has been suggested for the cause of Mercedes’ issues with the W15.

Their F1 2024 car has not yet shown much reason for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell to be optimistic.

At the F1 Japanese Grand Prix last time out, they finished ninth and seventh 💖with the Red Bulls and Ferraris occupying the first four positions.

Both McLarens were also ahead of Hamilton.

“It keeps ൲happeni𒁃ng every single weekend,” F1TV’s Alex Jacques said on the  podcast.

“They have sessions🐭 and say ‘we💧 are not too discouraged’.

“Then the ligꦑhts go out an𝓀d they look nothing like…

“We are used to Mercedes being 𒀰in this position now which is the disappointing thing for them.

“[The F1 Japanese Grand Prix] was 𒊎a long, long afternoon. You heard it in the radio messages from George and Lewis - they got flatter, and flatter, and flatter.

“It t♈ells the story of where they are, right now.”

Tom Clar𝓰kson then su❀ggested: “I think the tale of woe starts before that.

“It seems that, as soon💛 as they take the fuel out of the car, it starts to go wrong.”

Tom Kristensen, the nine-times Le Mans winner, s♛aid: “The car is a diva, it’s on a knife-edge.

“They don’t know what to expect when there is a wind⛦ direction change or a temperature change.

“They are on different compounds, as well.

“Every now and again, they perform ♔well, strong, good. Other times they are not, and that frustrates pe🎃ople.

“Toto is trying to lead the gang. He’s trying to show that they🌃 need to work hard, stick together, do a good job.

“They are definitely frustrated and looking for hope, looking for answers. W﷽h🍎ich they don’t get.

𒈔“They are a team in trouble at the moment. I don’t know when they will be winning again, or on th📖e podium again.”

Are Mercedes miles away from catching McLaren?

“No,” ဣJacques insisted. “Because once they get a comprehension of the car, once the correlation is sorted, once they understand the concept, look at how quickly McLaren were able to turn the page last season.

“Once you know the direction to go in…

“To𒆙to said after the race that they are effectively going testin♕g.

“Until they understand it, they can’t ✨push in one direction.

“In ꧙that way, t꧅hey are miles off for the moment. But it’s a world championship calibre team.

“They will understand what’s wrong with the car.ﷺ And once they do, they will come roaring back towards the end of the year.”
