Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes complaint analysed at F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
"Balance" and "we🅰ight transfer issues" mentioned as experts assess Lewis Hamilton's struggles

The problems that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton experienced in qualifying for the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix have been debated.
The Mercedes driver mentioned “intense bouncing” - a horrible reminder of the key issue꧂ which has blighted the cars from the past two F1 sea🌳sons.
But othe🐠r detai📖ls have been noted after Hamilton battled to a P8 starting grid position in qualifying.
“This weekend, particularly Lewis has complained about the baওlance of the car,” Naomi Schiff said🤡 on Sky Sports.
“What 🐷he was referring to was possibly a bit ꧙of weight transfer issues.
“Anti-dive is something that can into effect on a track like this, where you limit the amount of roll from the front to the rear, so your weight dis🍌tribution is even.
“That way, when you dive into the corner, it doe🐻sn’t make the rear light.
“Which seems to be what he’s complaining about here. The others - the Red Bull - just seems 🎀to not be rollꦛing from front to rear.”
Bernie Collins described the Mercedes W15 in Saudi Arabia: “A quick car in a straight line and they are confident inౠ their🦹 race pace.
“But unfortunate🐈ly, on this tr🥃ack, it is difficult to overtake.
“So what can th﷽ey do? Can they do something strategically? It’s going to be on a knife-edge - waitingℱ for a Safety Car or jumping early, waiting for an undercut.
“It’s going to be a real cat and mouse game.”
Hamilton will begin behin✃d both Red Bulls, both McLarens, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Mercedes teammate George Russell.
Hamilton was ꧙asked wh꧒at is causing the bouncing that he experiences in the W15.
He replied: “We've tried every se𓄧t-up change. We can't get rid of it. It's difficult to explain it.
"We had some bouncing in Bahrain but nowhere neℱar as inte𓆉nse as here.
"That first sector is super high-speed with a lot of yaw in the car and a lot of 🌺lateral load and the bouncing really offsets the car quite a bit.
"If you imagine when the car goes up and d🌌own at the back, your balance shifts forwards and rearwards.
"If you are doing that at 160 or 170mpm, correcting that each time...the othe🏅rs like Max are flat through six, seven and eight and the balance is just stable. That's what we are working towards.
"We've got to fix it. It's three years in aಌ row. We've got to get♏ on top of it."
