168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell has delivered an honest assessment over Mercedes’ f🧔orm 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 t🥂he road of Russell in sixth,💧 even challenging Red Bull’s Sergio Perez in the closing dozen laps.

Mercedes introduced a significant u♋pgrade package in Miami, particularly a🔯round the floor area, to solve their ill-handling woes.

However, 𝓰the team remains cut adrift of the top three -🧸 Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren - on raw performance.

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

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

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

“So it is going to be painful for a few weeks. I think we have to accept that we are the fou🧸rth fastest-tea♛m.

“The lap-times and the championship don't lieﷺ, this is where we are and I think we're fighting for the P5-P8 region week in, week out."

It w𒈔as a tough race for Russell, who was out-performed💜 by teammate Hamilton for the first time this year.

R🌞ussell remains convinced something wasn’t right with his W15.

"Something just didn't feel right, the car just had no grip, no pace and I was slower than Yuki foﷺr the whole of the last stint,” he ad▨ded.

"It is swin💦gs and roundabouts for us at the moment, a good day is P5🌳 and a bad day is P8, and it was a bad day so we finished P8."
