A new theory has been suggested for the cause of Merc💎edes’🌊 issues with the W15.

Their F1 2024 car has not yet shown much reason for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell to be optimistic.

At the F1 Japanese Grand Prix last time out, they finished ninth and seventh wit🧜h the Red Bulls and Ferraris occupying the first four positions.

Both McLarens were also ahead of Hamilton.

“It keeps happening every sin𒁃gle weekend,” F1TV’s Alex Jacques said on🧸 the  podcast.

“They have s🍌essions anꦕd say ‘we are not too discouraged’.

“Th🍨en the lights go✱ out and they look nothing like…

“We are used to Mercedes being in this position now which is the disappointing thing ⭕𒈔for them.

“[The F1 Japanese Grand Prix] was a long, long afternoon. You heard it in the radio messages from George💛 and Lewis - they got flatter, and f𝔉latter, and flatter.

“It tells t𝓡he story of where they are, right now.”

Tom Clarkson then suggested: “I think the tale of⭕ woe starts before that.

“It seems that, as🐻 soon as they take the fuel out 🌺of the car, it starts to go wrong.”

Tom Kristensen, the 𒊎nine-times Le Mans winner, said: “The car is a diva, it’s on a knife-edge.

“They don’t know what to expec🐲t when there is a wind direction change or a temperature change.

“They are on different compounds, as well.

“Every now and again, they perfo🐬rm well, strong, good. Other times they 🌳are not, and that frustrates people.

“Toto is tryingꦫ to lead the gang. He’s trying to show that they need to work hard, stick to🅘gether, do a good job.

“They are definitely frustrated and looking for hope, looking for answers. Which they don’t🐎 get.

“They are a team in trouble at the moment. I don🦹’t﷽ know when they will be winning again, or on the podium again.”

Are Mercedes miles away from catching McLaren?

“No,” Jacques insisted. “Because once they get a comprehension of the car, once the correlation is sorted, once they understand the concꦍept, look at how quickly McLaren were able to turn the page last season.

“Once you know the direction to go in…

“Toto said after the race that they 🌜are effective⭕ly going testing.

“Until they understa🌠nd it, they can൩’t push in one direction.

“In that 𝓰way, they are miles off for the momenꦺt. But it’s a world championship calibre team.

“They will undersꦗtand what’s wrong with the car. And once they do, they wi✨ll come roaring back towards the end of the year.”
