Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez enter the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 Austrian Grand Prix♕, Red Bull’s home event, having won every r꧒ace in 2023.
But Hamilton and George Russell joined Verstappen on the podium last tim💙e out, a sign that Mercedes’ recently-updated W14 is inching closer.
“You know that I♛’ve not been happy 💃in the car for the past year and a bit,” Hamilton said in Austria.
“The step we’ve🍌 taken has moved it♚ more in the direction that I’ve been asking for.
“Slowly, rebuilding ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚconfidence in the platform that I have.
“It’s 🎃still not 100%, I still can’t extract full pꦺotential from myself, but we’re getting there.”
Hamilton described thꩲe difಞficulty of driving the W14: “It’s not physically more demanding. You are just limited.
“The stabil♉ity of the car, confidence of where you can put the car.
“Last saw I crashed here, so did George.
“The car’s lock has bღeen very unpredictable for꧟ a long time but it’s becoming more predictable.”
Hamilton has confirmed that he would rath𓂃er Mercedes prioritised winning the 2024 F1 championship rather than individual races this year.
And he also caused a back-and-forth with old rival Verstappen by suggesting🅰 that every team should be limited by a deadline when they can begin development of the following year’s car, to prevent dominant team✃s maintaining their advantage.
Verstappen hit back insisting that Hamilton did not raise this issue when Mercedes were enjoying s♍even consecutive drivers’ championships.
