Lewis Hamilton fires warning to Red Bull after ‘great’ day for Mercedes at F1 Dutch GP
Hamilton finished third-fastest in opening practice before ending up fourth in FP2, just over three-tenths adrift of surprise pacesetter 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.
The British duo appear the drivers most likely to challenge Red Bull’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen - who t🍃opped FP1 - over one lap in qualifying, based on Friday’s running.
“It was great,” Hamilton said. “💦I woke up so excited to be in the car.
“P1 was actually a really good session for us. The car was feeling good from the get-ꦦgo. Great work from everyone at the factory.
“We made some 🤪changes from P1 to P2. It wasn’t as good, but it’s good data to have. We’ve got some work to do tonight to see if we can turn it around for tomorrow.”
The seven-time world champion added: “We’re there or thereabouts. Not a♔s 🐷quick as the Red Bulls, and obviously the McLarens look really quick.
“McLaren was much quicker in the first sector than us. Particularly on the long run, the tyre is ꦚoverheatiไng, which I think everyone has had.
“It’s trying to extract the most from the tyres, and 💞getting them into the right window to start your lap.
“We’ve been slow in the first sector but good in the last sector. We’re trying to find the right ꧋balance.”
Asked who he thinks Mercedes’ fight is with, Hamilton ❀replied: “Right with them, hopefully. The Red Bul🐼ls are a little quicker, as always.
“So I don’t ant🌊icipate that we’ll easily be able to beat them. But I think wꦜe’ll be close.
“We’ll be gunning for as high as possible. It would 𒁏be great to be in the top three in qualy. It depends on the work we do tonight.”
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell had a more difficult day in the other Mercedes, placing outside the top-10 inﷺ bꦅoth sessions.
