168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s positivity could not mask♉ “scepticism in his voice”, he has been told.

The Mercedes driver topped both practice sessions on Friday at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

George🌄 Russell was second, then third, on a productive day for Toto Wolff’s team.

Hami🎃lton was pleased with his W15 but said “we’ll see whether the car is still the same tomorrow.”

Sky Sports’ Danica Patrick reacted: “Yo𝕴u could hear the scepticism in his voice, though.

“They have never really got a grip on this car.

“I🥃 would love to see him finish str☂ongly with Mercedes.

“He spoke about their race pace. But what he 𒐪can look forward to is that Ferrari’s race pace thౠis year has been incredible.

“As a🌳 competitor, there is no way to turn it off at any moment.

“He was so happy about just a 𓃲practice day. When you’re a driver, every practice mattღers.

“Hopefully that stays for t💛hem all weekend. They are both seasoned drivers who don’t make mistakes, so that could play well for them this weekend.”

Hꦓamilton has just three grands prix remaining before he swaps Mercedes for Ferrari.

The past three years have seen Hamilton unable to mount an F1 title challenge due to 🍃his below-par machinery.

Although he returned ไto race-winning ways at Silverstone this year, he ♔will start afresh at Ferrari in 2025 seeking a record eighth title.

For 👍now, he can target pole position at the F🐼1 Las Vegas Grand Prix after going fastest in practice.

Jenson Button said: “They are as 🃏surprised as everyone else, particularly at the past couple of races.

“In Austin they were super quick 🐲on Friday then nowhere on Saturday.

“It’s a different track, temperature and🃏 tarmac [in Ve♏gas].

“I think they will be competitive. It will be a fight at the front, with at least four or five cars fighting for pole🔥 position.”

While Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz rou𒊎nded out the top five in practice, the two Red Bull drivers were unusually slow.

Max Verstappen was 17th and Sergio Perez 19th o🐟n Friday.
