"Obviously it’s been feeling great𝓡 the past couple of races, and it just felt completely differe♔nt today."

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton has revealed his Mercedes F1 car “felt comple♈tely different” in Friday practi𝔉ce for the Belgian Grand Prix.
Hamilton only managed the 10th-fastest team in second practice at Spa-Francorchamps, over 1.2s off the pace set by McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.
Mercedes teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell fared sligh🍷tly better, setting the sixth-be🍎st time of the day.
Mercedes were confident go✨ing into the wඣeekend that Spa would suit their car.
The track layout tends t🐲o favour aero efficiency and straight-line speed 🦩- and given their performance at Silverstone - Mercedes were expecting to be on the pace.
So far at 𒐪least, it’s not been comfortable for the seven-time world champion.
“Yeah. I d🐼on’t really know what to say,” Hamilton said. “Obviously it’s been feeling great the past cou♌ple of races, and it just felt completely different today.
“So, we worked on it. The first sesඣsion was not great. But then in the second session, we made some changes.
“It started off great, and then when I got to the soft tire, I just couldn’t improv🅷e, and there were a bunch of balance issues. It was better in thꦚis session, but everyone else went even better. So to be 1.2 seconds behind is not great.”

The weather forecast in Belgium is 🍒volatile withꦓ rain expected on Saturday for qualifying, although Sunday’s race is expected to be dry.
Hamilton believes Mercedes are likely to be more competitive�♚� if it rains.
He qualified second in sprint qualifying in China which was wet, while his only win of the year was in changeable co💎nditions.
“If it’s 🍸dry, then we’re not, at the moment, going to be in the🅰 best of places,” he added.
“But overnight we can make some changes for sure. I think if it r🧜ains, that opens it up a l♚ittle bit.
“Hopefully we can do a better job. I think the car sh♊ould be better in the wet than it is in the dry.”
