A new theory has been suggested fꦜor the cause of Mercedes’ issues with the W1🎃5.

Their F1 2024 car has not yet shown much reason for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell to be optimistic.

At the F1 Japanese Grand Prix last time out, �😼�they finished ninth and seventh with the Red Bulls and Ferraris occupying the first four positions.

Both McLarens were also ahead of Hamilton.

“It keeps happening every singlܫe weekend,” F1TV’s Al🦹ex Jacques said on the  podcast.

“They have sessions and say 🐭‘we are not too discouraged’.

“Then t𓂃he lights go o📖ut and they look nothing like…

“We are used to Merced💦es being in this position now which is t💮he disappointing thing for them.

“[The F1 Japanese Grand Prix] was a long, long afternoon. You heard it in the radio messages from George and Lewis - they got flatter, and flatter, and flatter🤪.

“It tells the stoಌry of where they are, right now.”

Tom Clarkson then suggested: “I think the tale of woe s🎐tarts before that.

“It seems that, as soon as they take the fuel out of the car, it starts to𝔍 go wrong.”

Tom Kristensen, the nine-times Le Mans winner꧑, said: “The car is⛄ a diva, it’s on a knife-edge.

“They don’t know what to expe✨ct when there is a wind direction ch💮ange or a temperature change.

“They are on different compounds, as well.

“Every now and again, they perform well, strong, good. Other times they are n🅠ot, and that frustrates people.

“Toto is tryi✨ng to lead the gang. He’s trying to show that they need to work hard, stick together, do a good job.

“They are definitely frustrated and looking for hope, looking for answers. Which they don’🌳𓂃t get.

“They are a team in trouble at the moment. I don’t know when they will be winning again, or on t🌃he podium again.”

Are Mercedes miles away from catching McLaren?

“No,” Jacques insisted. “Because once they get a comprehe💎nsion of the car, once the correlation is sorted, once they understand the concept, look at how quickly McLaren were able to turn the page last season.

“Once you know the direction to go in…

“T𒉰oto said after th𓂃e race that they are effectively going testing.

“Unt♉il they understand ๊it, they can’t push in one direction.

“In that way, they🌞 ar🀅e miles off for the moment. But it’s a world championship calibre team.

“They will understand what’s wrong with the car. And once they do, they will come roaring back towards 💜the end of the year.”
