Mercedes have introduced a significant upgrade for this weekend as they look to turnaround their miserable start to the campaign.

Mercedes are without a podium finis﷽h in the opening six races - the last time this has happened was in𝓀 2011.

However, Hill is unc𒈔onvinced by their level of performance on Friday.

“I am still going toꦯ be the voice of doom,” Hill said. “It is F🔯riday and I have seen this before.

“Happy on a Friday then, all of a sudden on a Saturday, Max and Red Bull drop a load of fuel out of t💃he car𒈔 and turn the engine a bit. Let’s see what happens tomorrow.”

M🍌ercedes currently sit a distant fo💎urth in the F1 constructors’ championship, 60 points behind customer team McLaren.

Former W Series driver Naomi Schiff thinks Mercedes’ form in practice was a welcome boo♌st given that there has been “really low energy” inside the team amid their poor rꦉesults.

“It was nice to hear them say positive things because it ha🐠s been really low energy from the team for a while,” she aꦫdded.

“It’s🐟 nice to see that whatever they brought this weekend, it’s working for them. Hopefully they have💝 something that is competitive.

“Today they were four tenths off the pace. That’s still not right there. B💛ut they are within a fighting chance.

“We still have FP3 and qualifying then, apparently, different conditions 🎃on Sunday.”
