168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton says he know knows “exactly” where Mercedes’ 2024 F1 car is “not strong enough” and will advise the team to push for improvements🌄.

The seven-time world champion enjoyed his best qualifying of the season at the Japanese Grand Prix as he claimed seventh on the grid at Suzuka, some seven tenths adrift of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s Red Bull.

Hamilton ended his run of qualifying defeats to teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell, who was ninth, and was encouraged🐬 by the performance of his W15 challen༺ger.

"I was giving it everythꦦing,” Hamilton said. "The team did a really great job this past week making adjustments to our set-up.

“This is actually the first weekend I've not gone crazy with sꦯet-up and am not testing a bunch of things, so I'm back to a bit more normal. I think we've got the car into a much nicer working win♈dow and so it's been really enjoyable driving, it's just the guys are just a little bit faster.

"We were a second or just over a second off last year to the Red Bull ♛and seven tenths is better. Maybe if we had done something a little bit different maybe we could have been another tenth faster, maybe, but other than that that was everything.

"🌺I think what it's giving us is I know exactly where the car is not strong enough, I can feel it in 🔥the car, and I know now to be tell them to 'push in this particular area'. But I'm hoping the race will be stronger tomorrow.”

Asked if that means 🍃Mercedes now have a direction to go in, Hamilton replied: "I personally believe so, yeah.

"What we have noticed is track to track it has been 𒅌really really hard to get the set-up right and it has been so far out each time. In some places it has felt like nothing we can do gets the car in a sweet spot.

“But this week💮end it's much more in the sweet spot and so I hope that continues in the following races. Then we've just got to add performance."
