Lewis Hamilton doesn’t have “full faith” in Mercedes rear end in Saudi Arabia
Lewis Hamilton r♚eflects on a tricky Thursday at the♔ Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton is eager for Mercedes to give him a “stable rear” after a tricky﷽ second practice at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion ended ♋FP2 eighth overall in the timesheets, nearly 0.8s off Fernando Alonso’s top time.
It wasn’t a smooth session for Hamilton, who had a number of oversteer moments, and a near-miss with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant.
Hamilton was warned by the F1 stewards follow✤ing an investigation while Mercedes were fined after Sargeant was forced to take evasive a🍨ction.
In terms of Hamilton’s competitiveness, he was over 0.4s off teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, who was second-fastest.
“Difficult day,” Hamilton said. “Just lacking confidence in the rear of the car. We did some work from session to session,꧃💝 changed quite a bit but underlying issues with the rear end that I was struggling with.
“I had a couple of re🦩ally big moments out there. In these high-speed areas you need to have full faith in the rear of the car and I just haven’t got that yet.”
Hamilton also revealed that he andꦐ Russell “went in different directions” with their setup.
“I need to go through ♕the data and stuff. George was obviously a🀅 lot happier with his car.
“🍸We went in different directions today. We wi🎃ll try and find the right solution for the car.
“All I want is a stable rear 🍷and then I will 🧔be happy so that’s what I am working on.”
