168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell has questioned Mercedes F1 teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s claim the pair went in diꩵfferent set-up directions over the Bahrain Grand 🎐Prix weekend.
Russell qualified third on the grid behind Red Bull’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, while Hamilton ended up a disappointing ninth, 0.225 seconds behind ꦐhis Mercedes teammateꦐ.
The seven-time world champion revealed he went in a different direct﷽ion with set-up compared to Russell in a bid to have a better race.
"Thursday, was really💜 good. Me and George were on the same set-ups but he went 'left' and I went 'right'. 'Right' was definitely not good for a single lap but I felt more comfortable with more fuel, so I hope that reflects in the race," Hamilton explained.
"I've definitely sacrificed more than I hoped to and I hope it pays off. It's a lot of w𓆏ork to do to get past all those quick cars ahead of 𒆙me but it will be fun.”
Russ🦄ell slipped back to fifth in the grand prix, two places ahead of Hamilton who could only recover to seventh as both Mercedes drivers were hampered by unexpected power unit temperature♕ issues.
After the race, Russell challengedꩵ Hamilton’s set-up claim.
“Many people have said this,” Russell said of Hamilton’s🍎 set-up cho🐈ice.
“I don’t really know the big differences, to be honest, because as far as I’m aware with the 🔯cars we’re pretty similar.
“I don’t really focus too much on his set-up. Mine was actually more set up for the race than the set-up he ran. At least itꦦ was on Friday [for qualifying].”
Hamilton report🐭ed seve🍌ral issues during the race including power issues and a broken seat.
“For a while like my battery was dead, so down the straighဣts I was just derating the whole way down the straight,” he explained.
“So I lost a lot of ground t🌃ไo the McLarens. I was fixing that out for some laps, and that took a good 10 laps, and I lost plenty of seconds through that.
ജ“And then, after that, was just really trying to get back on it, and catch up, as soon we got that fixed. And then there was a bit of overheating of the brakes. And then in ge♈neral, the performance was so-so.”
