Lewis Hamilton “outperformed” Mercedes simulations with “immense” Las Vegas GP drive
"Lewis meanwhile outperformed all our simu😼lations today to achieve P2."

Mercedes have revealed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton “outperformed” all of their pre-race simulations to finish second at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Hamilton put in a storming drive from 10th on the grid to finish second, just behind Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.
The seven-time world champion arguably had the best race pace on the grid in Sun🍌day’s race, leaving him to rue another poo𒆙r qualifying display.
Hamilton looked a strong contender for pole position,🥂 but two mistakes in Q3 left him down in 10t🐼h on the grid.
He sliced through tꦯhe field before reducing Russell’s lead to around seve🅰n seconds by the end of the race.
Mercedes tracksඣide engineering chief Andrew Shovlin believes Hamilton getting stuck behind the Ferraris cost him a chance of challenging Russell for the win in Las Vegaꦛs.
“We didn't come to Las Vegas thinking that this track would suit us, so it's been great to see the car work🧔ing so well,” Sho💫vlin said. “We've been quick from lap one of practice on Thursday. We knew from those sessions that the single lap would be strong, but it was very encouraging to see the race pace today.
“George did an amazing job managing from the front, covering off safety car risks and making sure he kept his tyres in better shape than the cars behind. It was another well-deserved win and the 🍬third of hisꩵ F1 career. Lewis meanwhile outperformed all our simulations today to achieve P2.
“His final stint was immense; he'll be frustrated that he lost too much time in traff🥀ic to allow him to fight for the win but the 1-2 is of course a great result for the team. We now have two races to go in the season.
“We will be giving it everything we can to achieve similar successꦰ in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.”
Las Vegas ജwas Mercedes’ first 1-2 fi🐟nish of the campaign.
It was their fourth victory of the year - just one less than McLaren (5) and Ferrari (👍5).
