‘No more experiments’ for Merc as Lewis Hamilton concedes “that’s just our pace”
Lewis Hamilt𒁏on concedes "tha🅰t's just the pace of the car" after qualifying 12th for the Miami sprint race.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has admitted Mercedes just have to “accept” their current performance after a disappointing qualifying for the F1 Miami Grand Prix sprint race.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton, who is joining Ferrari in 2025, was knocked out in SQ2 with only the 12th-fastest time as he finished a tenth behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, who was also eliminated in 11th.
Hamilton hit the wall lightly on his final run in the second part of qualifying but ultimately felt he had extracted everytꦓhing from his troublesome W15.
“The car felt really good in P1 and then qualifying, it didn’🅠t feel terrible, it’s just w♚e’re seven tenths off. That’s just the pace of our car,” Hamilton said.
“I think the sprint race is going to be tough. We’re in 12th so don’t expect a huge amount from there t📖o be honest. It’s not an easy circuit to overtake on or to follow.
“Just🔴 trying to step into the points 🃏somehow, if we can.”
It will be a worry for Mercedes after the team’s latest upgrades appeared to do little to improve their underwhelming 2024 ♋challenger’s perform𒁃ance.
After blaming his recent qualifying woes on aggressive set-up♊ experiments, Hamilton confirmed Mercedes have now abandoned that approach.
“No more experiments,” he explained. “We’ve just be𒀰en trying to make the car work.
“I feel like we extracted everything from the car, and that’s just our pace. We just have to accept that for the moment, we’re seven tenths off🍸.”
Russell said: “In practice the soft tyre was feeling really good but on the medium ♛couldn’t find⛦ the sweet spot and found ourselves on the wrong side of it.
“We need to work hard and find some improvements for the main qualifying. We need to try and 🐽get on top of our qualifying woes.”
But 🔯he had a slightly more positive outlook for the sprint race, adding: "I've got no doubt we will move✤ forward.”
