168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has shed light on the overheating issues he and Mercedes F1 teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell were havౠing in practice at the Italian Grand Prix.

Conditions were sweltering at Monza with con🐽ditions over 30 degrees.

This made life tricky for the drivers, particularly the🐷 Mercedes ⛦duo.

Hamilton complained about the seat in his cockpit being “so hot” - b♚ut it didn’t stop him from setting the fastest time in second practice at Monza.

Speaking after the session, Hamilton described it as be🔜ing “ridiculously roasting” while making an amusing comparison to sitting in a sauna.

“It was ridic🐬ulously roasting in our car,” he said. “I am not quite sure exactly [why]. Down by the radiator it was probably so𝐆me leakage of hot air.

“It🐽 was very hot. Like sitting in a sauna with no shorts on, sort of pain.”

Hamilton ဣwas encourage🎃d by the pace of the Mercedes W15, describing it as a good day with the car “feeling even better” as the day progressed.

“It’s been a good day,” he added. “Generally felt pretty good. It’s obviously a new tarmac. It’s been a bit of a challenge and all of the neꦏw kerbs. The car felt good from the start.

“Going through P1, a lot of graining. People w🐻ere struggling with tyres, including us. We made some good changes over the break. The car was feeling even better in the session. Still 🦩some work to do on a few things, a few areas.”

The seven-time world champion also warned Mercedes over making s🌺weeping adjustments to the setup of the ca🐼r after a positive Friday.

“Feeling𒅌 good,” he explained. “It’s going to be really important the work we do tonight, the work we do back in the simulator.

“We need to really tread carefully with the setup to put the car too out of bed like we’ve done in the p♍ast🥂.”

Hamilton last won the Italian Gran𒁏d Prix back in 2018 for🦂 Mercedes.
