168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton cited “massive understeer” as the reason for his “🐭really bad” first stint at the Mexico City Gꦑrand Prix.

After making a good start, getting ahead of Mercedes teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell, Hamilton struggled for pace at the Autodr🌜omo Hermanos Rodriguez.

Hamilton was overtaken by Russell on-track 🍸before dropping back𒈔.

It wasn’t until the second half of the race wh🎉ere Hamilton came alive as he reeled in Russell, who was nursing some fro🌠nt wing damage.

While teams aren’t allowed to chaꦇnge their cars under parc ferme conditions, small tweaks to the front wing ca🍌n be made (this can be done during pit stops as well).

Hamilton revealed that he “took too much front wing out of the car” resulting i💟n “ma♋ssive understeer”.

Reflecting 🐲on the race in Mexico, Hamilton said: “Yeah, it was fun. I had fun today.

“I had a good start, I had a really bad first stint, took too much front wing out of the car, I𝔉 had massive, massive understeer.

“I was like, damn. Because you have to basically guesstimate where you're going to be wꩲith the front wing, and I had a lot less than George [Russell].

“But the laps to the grid, it felt likeඣ it was the right thing, and it was clearly not.

“And after my stop, I was able to rectify it, and the🌊n after that I had aღ much better pace, and I was able to push and keep going, and we stopped a little bit early as well, compared to what I had planned and stuff. We got good points.”

Hamilton and🏅 Russell battled ha﷽rd for fourth, with the seven-time world champion eventually getting through.

Another interesting point was that Hamilton was running the new Mercedes upgrade༒s, while after his crash in practice, Russell reverted to some older parts.

Hamilton is now confidꦺent Mercedesꦯ will truly know which package is the one to go for in Brazil.

♒“No, he didn't but I had 10 laps, I knew it was going to happen at some point. I think he had a problem with his front wing,” he 🎃said of the battle with Russell.

“But we got a lot of information. I could see on his car where he was better than me, and I'm sure hopefully he'll be able to see where he's better than me. Package-wise, hopefully they have lots o𒊎f data, so we'll figure out who starts at what next race.”
