168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton has lamented his Mercedes F1 car for having “spikes” of promise that “disappear” in echoes of previous struggles in recent꧂ seasons.

The seven-time world champion could only qualify 11th at the Australian Grand Prix as teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell took seventh to out-pace H🐼amilton for the third successive race this y🍨ear.

Hamilton, who got within 0.1 seconds of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc’s pace-setting Ferrari in final practice, admitted to feeli😼ng “flat” after his worst qualifying in Melbourne since 2010.

🐻"Every outing you learn something new," Hamilton said. "FP3 felt really good for us, and I felt really optimistic going into qualifying but then, I don't know if it's the wind picking up, the wind picked up quite a bit, same as yesterday, and then the car is just so much more on a knife edge.

"It's three years in a row a similar feeling. But then there's these spikes o🐽f 'Oh, it ꦦcould be good' like this morning. And then it kind of disappears.

"If we can work a way of finding that goodness 🌸in the car and making it more consistent and holding onto that, maybe we can be more competitive. But there's a lot of work we need to do but everyone's working as hard as they can.”

Hamilton admitted the inconsistencies in the W15 “really mess♌es with the mind". 

With Mercedes seemingly still struggling to understand the airflow under the car in the current ground-effect regulations, Ham🦄ilton is once again conducting set-up experiments in a bid to unlock more performance.

"In 2022, we weren't splꦡitting [set-ups]," Hamilton explained. "George was doing one thing. I was trying✱ every set-up there was to try and help the team find options and figure out how we could fix it.

"It's pretty much the same, a li﷽ttle bit similar to this year. I've t🐽ried lots of different things. But I think this weekend we're much closer."
