168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton is confident Mercedes are “going in the right direction” despite a six-tenth deficit to McLaren in Friday F1 practice at the British Grand Prix.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris dominated the two sessions at Silverstoneꦑ on Friday as McLaren look to be the team to beat this weekend.

For Mercedes, thไeir FP1 pace was parti♑cularly impressive as they opted against running on the softs.

In FP2 though, Hamilton was only sixth-fastes🌳t, while teammate George Russell was down in 10th🦹.

More worryingly, the gap to No🦩rris was just over 0.6s.

Reflecting🤡 on his Friday at Silverstone, Hami♚lton was content with the handling of his Mercedes.

“I felt fine,” he said. “🎉Generally felt good. Just not as fast as the guys ahead like the McLarens.”

In terms of ൲Mercedes’ upgrades for this weekend, they’ve introduced a revised fr✨ont and rear wing, deemed to be “circuit specific”.

Hamilton downplayed their significance, describing them as “small tweaks” 🐭but insisted Merꦛcedes are on the right path despite a sizeable gap to McLaren.

“We don’t have upgrad🅠es,” he explained. “We have some small tweaks to things but not neces꧒sarily upgrades.

“Every time we add something we’re going👍 in the right direction but the others bring upgrades at the same time. I mean we were six and a half tenths off in that one. I don’t know if it’s truly exactly six-tenths. We’ve got some work to do.”

On the other side of the Mercedes garage, Russell feels the team is in a simil𒁏ar position🍌 to recent rounds.

“This morning was really good to be honest,” he added. “The car was feeling great. We struggled a bit more this afternoo🌱n, need to understand why. Got a little bit windier. We didn’t quite nail the tyres. Pretty similar competitiveness as we’ve seen in the last few races.

“FP1 was really strong. We need to understand why we lost a little bit of pace in FP2. I am sure it’s all going to change tomorrow with the conditions, it’s raining now. Just happy to be here and exciꦯted to go racing.”
