Lewis Hamilton and George Russell bot🍎h finished outside of the fastest 10 drivers during practice on Friday at the F1 British Grand Prix.

Hamilton suggested that part of their recovery, ahead of qualifying on Saturday, would involve✅ Schumacher’s sim work.

Their third driver was hard at work until the ear🌱ly hours, battl♚ing through the balance issues that Hamilton felt.

“It’s a tough car to drive🐓,” Hamilton said about the W14.

“No matter what we do to set-up, it continues to be a tough car to drive. On a single lap I didn’t feel any improvement between tyres, which shows that something i🐠s wrong. We’re missing something.”

Russ🅘ell added: “Not a lot to takꦡe away from the upgrades as such but come qualifying I'm sure we'll know where we stand.” 

Mercedes’ performance on Saturday at Silverstone will have Schumach💎er’s overnight stint to thank.
