D▨espite bringing a fairly sizeable upgrade to their underperforming and revised W14 car, Mercedes failed to take a notable step forward in competitiveness across the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. 

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton finished fourth in Sunday’s grand prix while teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell came home𓃲 sixth, with the Mercedes duo split by Fernando Alonso’s ܫAston Martin. 

“They will be very frustrated. Their car is on a knife-edge to set up, to understand, to drive,” Brundle 𝓰said on Sky’s coverage. 

“Then they suddenly promise a great r꧃esult, get something special then go to the next race with upgrades, and fall off🙈 the pace.

"I wo♊uld imagine they are confused with this car. Diva 2.0, I t🐈hink they call it.

“They are surviving the season, as they did last year, and💜 making the best of a bad situation because they are a great team.” 

Hoꦑwever, fellow Sky F1 pundit and former W Series racer Naomi Schiff feels the global picture is not so bad for Mercedes. 

“Despite Fernando’s great recovery t🉐oday, Lewis is in a good position [to claim P3 in the drivers’ standings],” she said. “We had a pole position from Lewis.

“Even though the global picture is not them on ꦚthe podium at each rac𒀰e event, they have a car that on a Sunday really does perform.

“Today the bigger concern was the Ferraris, they had fantastic pace in the dry and the wet, their car is in a wi🅠ndow where it’s really working.

“Lewiꦑs was 2-3s behind Charles the whole race. He di𓃲dn’t have enough in the end it chase him down.

“There’s enough to be positive about. They have a car, unlike other teams who are very track-ꩲspecific, they are consistently there or thereabouts. Something to build on, for sure.”
