168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell has delivered an honest aꦫssessment over Merꩲcedes’ form in 2024, warning that the team are on course for a “painful few weeks”.

Mercedes endured another underwhelming weekend at the Miami Grand Prix as Russell finished eighth, behind the RB of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Yuki Tsunoda.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton fared better in the other Mercedes, finishing 18 seconds up the road of Russell in sixth, even challengi𝄹ng Red Bull’s Sergio Perez in the closing dozen laps.

Mercedes introduced a significant upgrade package in Miami, particularly around the floor♍ area, to solve their ill-handling woes.

However, the team remains cut ♔adrift of the top three - Red Bull, Ferrari and McLar🐈en - on raw performance.

Reflecting on Meℱrcedes’ struggles, Russell conceded Mercedes are set to be fighting for P5 to P8 on-track regularly in the coming rounds.

“McLarenဣ qualified P17 and P18 12 months ago in Miami, and they won, so it shows what is possible when you get things right," Russell said in Miami. “But right now, we don't have things right and need to make changes quickly.

“ﷺW𓄧e do have a few things coming in the short-term but nothing in the short-term that is going to transform us into race winners.

“So it is going to b𒅌e painful for a few weeks. I think we have to a🎀ccept that we are the fourth fastest-team.

“The lap-times and the championship don't lie, this is🌺 where we are and I think we're fighting for the P5-P🏅8 region week in, week out."

It was a tough race for R⭕ussell, who was out-performed by teammate Hamilton for ꦫthe first time this year.

Russell remain🦩s convinced sꦕomething wasn’t right with his W15.

"Something just didn't f🙈eel right, the car just had no grip, no pace and I was slower than Yuki for the whole of the last stint,” he added.

"It is swings and roundabouts for us at the moment, a good day is P5 and a bad day is P8, and i🐬t was a bad day so we finished P8."
