168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has revealed his Mercedes F1 car “felt completely different” in Friday🗹 practice for the Belgian Grand Prix.

Hamilton only managed the 10th-fastest team in second practice at Spa-Francorchamps, over 1.2s off the pace set by McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris.

Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell fared sl⛎ightlyꩵ better, setting the sixth-best time of the day.

Mercedes were confident going into the weekend that Spa would suit their carꦬ.

The track layout tends to favour aero efficiency and straight-line speed - and given ꧅their performance at Silverstone - Mercedes were expecting to be on the pace.

So far at least, it’s not been comfortable for the seven-time world c𝓀hampion.

“Yeah. I don’t really know what to say,” Hamilton said.𒀰 “Obviously it’s been feeling great the past couple of races, and it just felt completely different today. 

“So, we worked on it. The first session was 𒊎not great. But then in the second session, we made some changes.

“It star🍸ted off great, and then when I got to the soft tire, I just couldn’t improve, and there were a bunch of bal💃ance issues. It was better in this session, but everyone else went even better. So to be 1.2 seconds behind is not great.”

ജThe weather forecast in Belgium is volatile with rain expected ဣon Saturday for qualifying, although Sunday’s race is expected to be dry.

Hamilton believes Mercedes are༺ likely t𓆉o be more competitive if it rains.

He qualified second in spri🦂nt qualifying in China which was wet, while his only win of the year was in changeable conditions.

“If it’s dry, then we’re notꦡ, at the moment, going to be in the🦩 best of places,” he added.

“But overnight we can make some chan𝔍ges for sure. I think if it rains, that opens it up a little biꦫt.

“Hop🎉efully we canꦆ do a better job. I think the car should be better in the wet than it is in the dry.”
