Mercedes upgrades haven’t resolved Lewis Hamilton’s F1 seat position problem

Ahead of the Australian Grand Prix Hamilton revealed that the cockpit in the W14 is closer to the front of the car than Mercedes’ rivals and admitted the positioning was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:hindering his performance.
Mercedes debuted a major upgrade package 🍎at the recent Monaco Grand Prix and h🃏ad their best weekend of the season the following weekend in Barcelona, but Hamilton highlighted that he is still not satisfied with his further-forward seat positioning.
Speaki🌃ng ahꦆead of the Spanish Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion admitted it can’t be changed until the team introduces a new chassis.
“There’s nothing you can do about it, that’s just the way it is,” Hamilton ♈explained.
✤“The only thing you can do ultimately is just trying to slow the rate of rotation, stabilise the rear end. So that’s just something you try to do on mechanical balance.
“But we’re just limit꧋ed with the tools you hav💝e. It’s the same ones as last year."
Hamilton prais💙ed the improvements Mercedes have made to the W14's front suspension, 🦋saying the changes have given him more confidence.
“The new suspension was a real positive for me, it 🌳gave me a lot more confidence last week [in Monaco] and so I’✤m hoping that translates here [Barcelona]," he added.
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has already ruled out ꧙the possibility of a new chassis being introduced this year due to the constraints of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 cost cap.
It♈ would therefore appear that Hamilton will have to put up with his imperfect seat positioning until at least next season.
