Mercedes have improved from an early-season disaster blighted by to register their best results of 2022 prior to the summer break and return for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Belgian Grand Prix this weekend in the best shape of the year.

Hamilton stands to lose his all-time record of having won a race every seaso✅n, but h💛e has threatened to keep it alive with five consecutive podium finishes, while Russell has come third in the past two races.

Sky Sports’ Chandhok : “I feel like the post-2018 Lewis Hamilton is different to the one from y𒀰ears before where he's fully recognised that the points and prizes come in the races and therefore it's cru𝕴cial to get the car in the window he likes for the longer stints, even if that compromises his outright qualifying speed.

“He may be 12 points behind Geor🐭ge in the points table at the moment, but those dreadful 🐠weekends in Saudi Arabia and Imola seem a long time ago. 

“This inter-team battle will be fun to watch!

“There's absolutely no doubt that if Mercedes have a car that is ready to startജ fighting for wins regularly, then Russell is ready to deliver those. 

“However, his biggest chaܫllenge is still the man on the other side of the pit garage.”

Max Verstappen of Red Bull looks primed to win a second consecutive driver’s championship, after the events of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Abu Dhabi 2021, but the second half of this season could tee up a renewed charge from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes in 2023.
