A “question mark” has been raised about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and his old team Mercedes ahead of the F1 Chinese Grand Pri𝄹x.

Hamilton had a Ferrari debut to forget last weekend at the 𒐪2025 season-opening Australian Grand Prix, finishing 10th, two places be♏hind teammate Charles Leclerc.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes soared to third and fourth via George Russe𒈔ll and Andrea Kimi A🅺ntonelli respectively.

However, the race in Australia was a chaotic affair in wet conditions which means there are unanswered questions about the F1 pecking order.

“We haven’t had a chance to see where Ferra🏅ri si🃏t within the top four,” Bernie Collins told the Sky F1 podcast.

“We are st𒁏ill not sure after Australia, because of what happened in qualifying and the wet race.

“It should look stronger, at le🌸ast. They shouldn’t be finishing eighth and tenth, for sure.

“They will have learned a lot communication-wise from the first ra🎶ce. There was a lot going on there.”

Hamilton and his new race engineer Riccardo Adami found communication challenging in their first 🧔grand prix together.

Hamilton rꦡepeatedly said “leave me to it”, which Martin Brundle called “angsty”.

The relationship between Hamilt♈on and Adami must improve heading into their second outing together in Chinꦿa if they are to out-pace Mercedes.

“China is a different track 👍in different temperatur🙈es and tyre compounds,” Collins said.

“It 𓂃looks like a dry weekend. It looks warm for 𒆙China although the forecast changes.

“It is going to play to different strengt🔜hs. We should see them move up.

“The question mark fo🎉r m♕e is: ‘are they faster than Mercedes or not?’

“Hopefully we get an answer by Saturday. They ha🍰ve got two gos at a qualifying session.”

'Difficult' Chinese GP for rookies

The F1 Chinese Grand Prix is aဣ sprint race weekend, meaning a different schedule is in place.

This could play havoc for the six rookie drivers on the grid - several of whom endured an opening w𝔍eekend to forget in Australia, largely because of the wet conditions.

They must now seamlessly adapt to a different schedule in China - one practice session then sprint qualifying on Friday, the sprint race then qu♑alifying for the grand prix on Satu🐎rday, then the grand prix on Sunday.

“It is really difficult,” Collins warned.

“Last year wa꧑s particularly difficult in China because we hadn’t been since 2019.

“This year, t෴hey will have last ye𝐆ar’s data to look at.

“From a rookie 💜point of view, there is a lot 𝕴of driving before you hit the main qualifying and the main race.

“There are less engineers 🤪playing with setups, like on a normal weekend.

“Yes, you are straight into a competitive sess🌜ion which is difficult.

“But you should have more track time 🐽by the time you get to qualifying on Saturday afternoon, and th🃏e race on Sunday.”
