168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell has re🦩vealed that the current “limitations” of the Mercedes W14 ꧋are “totally different” to what the team faced 12 months ago.

Mercedes’ difficult start to the 2024 F1 season conꦚtinued in Miami with both of their cars failing to finish in the points in the sprint race.

In grand prix qualifying, Russell and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton could only manage seventh and eighth resܫpectively.

More worryingly for Mercedes, they were around eight-tenths off 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s pole time.

Reflecting on Mercedes’ mediocre level o𒁃f performance, Russell shed light on how the team “over compensated” with this year’s car development when trying to fix the issues which plagued the 2023 car.

“The fact is the stopwatch doesn’t lie,” he said. “We know that probably some of the changes we’ve made ꧙since the end of last year perhaps over compensated with some of the development items we did.

“We have limitations with the car now which is a totally different to what we had this time 12 months ago. We have so much w♎ork to solve the problems. We’ve gone too far in that direction. We know w🐻e need to improve. We need to improve quickly.”

Mercedes had introduced a significant upgrade package for this weekend, whic💧h included a new floor, with further updates on the way at Imola.

Russell remains adamant Mercedes know how 💦to turn things around but it won’t happen quickl♉y.

“We definitely know how to,” h𒁏e added. “When we look at the data we understand why we’re in the positi🐈on we are right now. As i said last year, we understood why we were in that same position.

“I think unfortunately we’ve over coꦇmpensated to solve the problems of last year. We’ve gone from this extreme to that extreme now so we’ve got to rewind and find ourselves in a halfway house.

“When development, when new upgrades take eight weeks to bring to the car you learn this problem race one, race two, you can’t just bring an💞 upgrade to the next race.”

Looking ahead to Sunday’s race, Russell remains confident of making ༺a “step forward” for the ﷽race.

“I expect to be 🉐ওlooking forward tomorrow, hopefully no pressure from behind,” he explained. “P7 and P8, we have to accept as well that is where we are at the moment.

“We are a step behind McLaren and Ferrari, a big step behind Red Bull. I think the re♑sult today was the maximum. I am confident we will make a step forward tomorrow.”
