F1 champion Damon Hill's concerning observation about ‘perplexed’ Mercedes: "The lowest I’ve heard them sound"

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton could only finish seventh, one place ahead of teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell, on what Mercedes boss Toto Wolff described as a “bruising day” for hꦍis sid🎀e in Austria.
Despite starting fifth on the grid and jumping McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris into fourth with a strong start, Hamilton struggled for pace and was hit with a time penalty for tra🔜ck limits as he slipped back to P7.
Russell rose from 11th to finish eighth but both drivers we♔re left despondent and admitted they expected more from their underperforming W14 at the Red Bull Ring.
“That’s t♓he lowesಌt I’ve heard them sound,” 1996 F1 world champion Hill said during Sky F1’s post-race analysis.
“It has swung in the wrong🧜 direction,𒊎 at this particular venue, by quite a long way. They are perplexed by that.
“They will be looking forward to Silverstone, they know it’s a different character of track🎀. They might be more in their zone.”

Hamilton let out a barrage of frustrated radio messages throughout the race, leading to an intervention from Wolff to try and calm the seven-time wor👍ld champion down.
“It’s a little bit stressful to hear,” Sky F1’s Naomi Schif⭕f said. “You don’t hear Lewis lose his cool on the radio. To♚day, he was frustrated.
“I think some of that [is because] some cars 𒁏have brought updates, and they haven’t.
“McLaren have made a big step forward, Ferrari have made a big step forward, that will obv🏅iously be a part of the pace difference.
“Ferna✃ndo wasn’t as far up the road, so that could be playing into it.
“The ღthing that’s strange is that a track like this typically the gℱaps are closer, rather than bigger, so it’s a concern.
“You can see how disappointed Toto was.”
Aston Martin’s for🍬mer head of strategy and fellow Sky pundit Bernie Collins added: “There is very little recovery from this, straight into a race next week.
“They need to figure it out quickly.
“You need to get on top♔ of iꦆt quickly, there will be a lot of analysis going on - the tyres, the pace deficit.
“It’s how quickly you can turn around that analysis, find a solution, and get it on the ca🦹r.
“With races hammering along in the backgr💦ound, the points are drifting away all the time.”
