Lewis Hamilton ‘hunting’ for Austrian GP F1 podium after ‘changing the car’
"We have changed the car so I am hopi🐠ng it will be better tomorrow in race pace."
Seven-time F1 world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has revealed Mercedes made 💝significant changes🅰 to their car ahead of qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix.
Hamilton secured fifth on the grid at the Red Bull Ring, within a tenth of Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell in third.
It was a strong result for Mercedes, whi♏ch continues to be the third-fastest team in F1 behind Red Bull and McLaren.
Hamilton was content with the “progress” Mercedes had made ahead of qualifying but was lukewarm about his finꦏal Q3𝓡 effort.
“We made some progress with the balance of the car,” he said. “I should 𝕴have probablyꦦ started the weekend with this balance but nonetheless it was OK.
“The lap was pretty decent at the end. Middle sector was ꦜa little bit down.
“Overall it was alright.”
Hamilton is confident the setup changes will improve on his “pretty p꧋oor” race pace from the sprint as he eyes a possible podium challenge.
“My race pace was pretty poor this morning,” he added. “We have changed the car so I am hoping it will be better toꦬmorrow in race pace.
“We’ve gone up on the rear ♓wing. I am hoping we can lean a bit more on the Ferraris and try and hunt for the pﷺodium somehow.
“I’ve got to get past the Ferrari a♕s soon as ꧙possible.”
