Lewis Hamilton: “I told them” - Mercedes “must own up and say ‘we didn’t listen’”
Mercedes have started the 2023 season with the fourth-fastest car behind&༺nbsp;Red Bull, Ferrari and Aston Martin.
Red Bull stormed to a dominant 1-2 finish in the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix, while Hamilton and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell finished fifth and seventh respectively.
Wh🎐ile the issue of porpoising is no longer th♏ere, the W14 simply lacks downforce and mechanical grip.
After a difficult weekend in Bahrain, Hamilton has appeared to tak𝓰e a more critical stance on Mercedes’ plig♌ht.
“Last year, I told them the issues that are with the car,” Hamilton told the BBC. “Lik𒆙e, I’ve driven so many cars in my life, so I know what a car needs, I know what a car doesn’t need.
“And I ♔think it’s really about accountability, it’s about owning up and saying ‘yeah, you know what, we didn💯’t listen to you, it’s not where it needs to be and we’ve got to work’.
“We’ve got to look🥀 into the balance through the corners, look at all the weak points and just huddle up as a team, that’s what we do.
“We’re still multi world champions you know, it’s just they haven’t got it right this time, they didn’t get it right last year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get i🐭t right moving forwards.”
Hamilton admitted Mercedes’ form is reminiscent of his days with McLaren in the early 2010s, when they often didn’t have the outright pace of Red Bull and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel.
“I enjoyed that I managed to have a couple of battles,” hဣe added.. “And it was close, but not quite th💎ere.
“And I’ve had many cars like this, pಌarticularly back in the McLaren days, and I don’t know when or how we’re going to do it♐ in terms of turning it around, but it’s going to have to happen.”
