Mick Schumacher ends sim work in the early hours to boost Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton and George Russell both finished outside of the fastest 10 drivers during practice on Friday at♌ the F1 British Grand Prix.
Hamilton suggested thatꦛ part of their recovery, ahead of qualifying on Saturday, would involve Schumacher’s sim work.
Their third driver was hard at work until the early hours, battling through the b꧅alanꦚce issues that Hamilton felt.
“It’s a tough car to driveꦿ,” Hamilton said about the W14.
“No matter what we do to set-up, it con♋tinues to be a tough car to drive. On a single lap I didn’t feel🧸 any improvement between tyres, which shows that something is wrong. We’re missing something.”
Russell added: “🍸Not a lot to take away from the upgrades as such but come qualifying I'm sure we'll know where we stand.”
Mercedes’ performance on Sꦉaturday at Silverstone will have Schu꧒macher’s overnight stint to thank.
