168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes enter the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix grappl﷽ing with decisions to make about their floor.

Mercedes introduced a new floor and diffuser at Spa, where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton won to extend a brilliant record of three victo𝓡ries in four grands prix.

But at the two most recent rounds Mercedes’ pace has slumped, creating a debate about whether they shouldඣ stick to their guns or revert to the pre-Spa floor.

“There are lots of questi꧙on marks,” said Hami🌠lton in Baku where mahbx.com are in the paddock.

“We are trying to understand it. It could be a number of thin🐓gs - it could be track dependent, it could be the upgrade.

“My gut is telling me that it’s the upgrade. It’s hard to see ꦛthe difference between🐓 the two.

“𝄹We will try this weekend to roll back on some of it, and see if we can 𒀰spot it. There is a lot of work going on to analyse it because it gives the team direction in development for this car, and for next year as well.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell 𒊎said: “The upgrade wasn’t a substantial performance improvement.

“Sometimes you've got to look at things 𓃲objectively. We brought a new floor and we dropped in performance. That was the main thi🧔ng that changed.

“We knew ⛄that the upgrade wasn’t going to set the world on fire, it was just another step in ♒the direction that we’d been pursuing.

“Reverꩵsing back to the pre-Spa iteration of floor - if e🥂verything was correct on paper, it was a small delta. It’s better the devil you know. What know exactly what that floor offers, and we know what the set-up should be.

“Sometimes with a new upgrade it takes a number of races to learn and understand𓃲.”

Russell added: “I don’t think, no matter the performance this weekend, we will come away and conclusively say that the floor was or was not ♒the problem.

“It’s not too long unti൩l we’ll have another upgrade which will change things once again.”

Hamilton has won twice this season, and Russell once, as the field has converged to rob Red Bull of their dominan🥂ce.

McLaren en🌠ter Azerbaijan with the quickest car and as the biggest threat to Red Bull.

“Formula 1 is more competitive than we’ve seen it for 10 years, maybe, in terms of the number of drivers who can compete for goo🅺d results,” Russell said.

“Last ꦫyear, two tenths off the pace, you’d finish in the same position. Red Bull could have an off-weekend by three tenths and ﷽would still win the race.

“We’ve had two weekends where we’ve dipped in form. But it could have swung in the ꦐother direction. I was third in Zandvoort and, if the race had panned out differently, I could have ended up on a podium and we wouldn’t be talking about a dip in performance.

“Unless you na✨il your weekends, you will be punishe꧑d for it.”
