A new theory 🍎has been suggested for the caus🍸e of Mercedes’ issues with the W15.

Their F1 2024 car has not yet shown much reason for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell to be optimistic.

At the F1 Japanese Grand Prix last time out, they finished ninth and seventh with the Red Bꦐulls and Ferraris occupying the first four positions.

Both McLarens were also ahead of Hamilton.

“It keeps ha𝔍ppening every single w🃏eekend,” F1TV’s Alex Jacques said on the  podcast.

“They have sessions and say ‘we are not too 🐟discouraged’.

“Then the lights go out a⛦nd they😼 look nothing like…

“We are used to Mercedes bei𒀰ng in this position ꧙now which is the disappointing thing for them.

“[The F1 Japanese Grand Prix] was a long, long afternoon. You heard it in the radio messages from George and Lewis - they got flatter, and flatter,𒆙 and flatter.

“It tells the story of where they are, ri🥂ght now.”

Tom Clarkson then suggested: “I th🐓ink the tale of woe starts before that.

“It seems that, as soon as they take the fu🍰el out of the car, it starts to go wrong.”

Tom Kristensen🐓, the nine-times Le Mans winner, 🥀said: “The car is a diva, it’s on a knife-edge.

“They don’t know what to e▨xpect when there is a wind direction change or a temperature change.

“They are on different compounds, as well.

𒆙“Every now and again, they perform well, strong, good. Other time𒀰s they are not, and that frustrates people.

“Toto is trying to ⭕lead the gang. He’s trying to show that they need to work hard, stick together, do a good♛ job.

“They are definitely frustrated and looking for hope, looking for aꦫnswers. ▨Which they don’t get.

“The𓃲y are ♕a team in trouble at the moment. I don’t know when they will be winning again, or on the podium again.”

Are Mercedes miles away from catching McLaren?

“No,” Jacques insisted. “Because once they get a comprehension of 𝓰the car, once the correlation is sorted, once they understand 🌸the concept, look at how quickly McLaren were able to turn the page last season.

“Once you know the direction to go in…

“Toto sa🃏id after the race that they are effectively going testing.

“🐬Until they understand it♑, they can’t push in one direction.

“In that way, they are miles off for the moment. Bu♕t it’s a world championship calibre 🐠team.

“They will understand what’s wrong with the car. And once they do, they will come roaring back ⛄towards the end of the year.”
