Mercedes have endured a mixed pre-season test in Bahrain and suffered a setback on the second day both Hamilton and teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell appeared to struggle with the handling of t🔯he W14 before it later broke down🍨 with a hydraulic failure. 

The Silver Arrows reportedly also suffered a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“strange loss of downf💮orce on the front axle” whichꦚ left the team “a bit lost” after Friday’s running. 

Speaking during the lun♛ch break on ꧃the third and final day, Hamilton admitted Mercedes’ new challenger still has some shortcomings that need to be addressed. 

“They are just things that we areꩲ working through,” Hamilton sai🃏d. “Some of the balance limitations that we had last year are just present, so we are just working through them.”

The seven-time world champion added: “I think we’ve had a couple of difficult days. Yesterday particularly was difficult. The first day didn’t feel too bad 𒊎but yesterday was a little bit more of a struggle. 

“George has had a mꦗuch better morning today, a bit like the🧔 first day. So hopefully we’ve got the set-up in a better place.

"Right now the bouncing 💜that we had has pretty much gone, so that’s a huge step for us. It’s nice for us to drive without the bouncing for once. 

“But ꧙there are still some underl🀅ying things that we are working through.” 

Russell has already 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:downplayed Mercedes’ chances of being in victory contention at next wee🦋kend’s season-opener but Hamilton insists he is buoyed by theඣ team’s hard work over the winter.  

“I’m really proud of everyone in the team for continuing🎀 to remain positive after a tough year last year,” Hamilton said. 

“They’ve done amazing work through the winter for us to arrive and 🅰have the mileage that we’ve had. Every single year they arrive with the same focus and determination to fix whatever issues we have.&nbs🍷p;

“I enjoy being in the offices, churning away, going through the data.And I’m really proud of everyone in the garage. We’ll hopefully get there.♏"
