Will Mercedes' F1 struggles continue?
Mercedes struggled last time out at the ♍Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, a🔴lthough George Russell managed to salvage fourth after making a storming start.
Seven-time F1 champion🍎 Lewis Hamilton struggled to 13th after bei🥃ng stuck behind AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly for much of the race at Imola.
Mercedes have introduced a new rear wing 💜as well as a beam wing while making changes to the W13’s front wing endplate.
It wants to reduce the drag levels the W13 is currently producing with low down𝔍force and straight-line speed crucial around this new Miami circuit.
Speaking ahead of Friday practic🔯e, Hamilton doubted the impact Mercedes’ upgrades may have on their&n❀bsp;outright performance.
“You can expect that we will be giving it ꦅour all,” he said. “We’ve been trying our best and there’s been a huge amount of work in the background. You can see we’ve got a new rear wing for example, so I’m just grateful for everyone keeping their heads down and for the amazing hard work that everyone is putting in.
“I don’t anticipate much change in that sense.”
On the other hand, Red Bull haven't&n🧸bsp;brought any new parts to Miami while Ferrari🌟 have only introduced a new rear wing specifically for Miami.
