Lewis Hamilton wants “calmer” Mercedes F1 car: “It’s quite unpredictable…”

Mercedes have finished on the podium just once in the opening four rounds of F1 2023, with Hamilton finishing second at the Austral📖ian Grand Prix.
Like in 2022, the Mercedes challenger has been difficult for both Hamilton and teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell to tame as the W14 has produced varying degrees༒ of performance.
As they look to turn their season around, Mercedes are pinning their h🐼opes on a substantial upgrade for the Emilia Romangna Grand Prix at Imola later this month.
Mercedes are expected to introduce a revised suspension layout with a new floor desig🅠n, while a change in sidepod concept is expected at some point later ไon in the campaign.
One complaint Hamilton has had is his seating position in the W14, with the seven-time chamꦫpion wanting it to be less close to the front tyres to give him more feeling when driving.
However, this 🃏change is unlikely going to happen this year at least due to the cost cap.
Speaking ahead of this week🎉e𒁏nd’s Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton spoke about what he is lacking from this year’s Mercedes.
“Ultimately as a driver you always⛦ want more downforce and more power or less drag, equates to similar steps in power,” he explained. “I think a calmer car to drive is what I am looking 𒉰for in my setup.
“It’⛎s quite an unp🅰redictable car but I think we’re going in the right direction.”

Despite another underwhelming start to tꦿhe season, Hamilton co🐽ntinues to have full faith in the team.
“I think the team has such a great mindset,” he added🌃. “There’s a great energy in the team that we’re doing in the right direction and I a🧸m certain we’re going to get there in the near future.
“Just got to keep my head down, just do the best 🎉job I can during the weekends.”
