Mercedes have admitted it’s “not obvious” what caused 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s difficult F1 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

Hamilton bemoaned a 𒅌lack of rear grip at Interlagos as he struggled with the handling of his W15.

The seven-time world c🦩hampion finished a lowly 10♔th as he failed to make it into Q3 in both qualifying sessions.

It was a poor w🐷eekend for Hamilton, who often thrives in wet conditions throughout his career.

On the other side of the Mercedes garage, teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell qualified on the fr�𒊎�ont row of the grid before leading the first portion of the race.

Had Mercedes followed Russell’s strꦦategy suggestion, he could have potentially won the🐠 race.

Speaking on the team’s YouTube channel, trackside engineering chief Andrew Shovlin spoke about the issues Hamilton faced in Brazil.

“Normally you are able to do it 🉐[set up th🌄e two cars],” he said. “You let the drivers deviate with the setup.

“They do not have🅠 to run the same, and we will let them evolve their own setup. And when one of t🌞hem appears to be going well, you often take elements of that setup, or even the whole lot, and put it onto the other car.

“N🌠ow, it is fair to say Lewis was strug🔥gling predominantly with a lack of rear grip. If we look at how he had set up his car, it is not obvious where that was coming from.

“But in the Sprint race, as soon as you have got less grip🌜 and you are getting the snaps of oversteer on exit, you generate more temperature. That in itself will prolong the problem.

“As with any race, we spend a lot ✨of time digging into the data, trying to understand it, and Lewis’ engineering crew will be working with him on this issue, trying to make sure we get to the bottom of itꦜ before Vegas.”

Shovlin believes the varying 🐟weath💟er in Brazil contributed to Hamilton’s struggles.

“The other factor with the weekend🍨 was the conditions were very differౠent,” he added.

“Sprint qualy, Sprint race, that was in the dry, it was very hot and then the main qualy and the Grand Prix were in the wet. We did not have the session-after-session flow to iterate the setup🌌 and understand how to get the most out of the car.

“That is not the reason for the issue, but was 🃏certainly something that made it more difficult for him to get the setup that he wanted on for the race.”
