168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes have identified i💞mportant changes to make to next year’s Formula 1 car.

The W16 in 2025 will be thꦺe final car before F1 i💖ntroduces its new regulations the following year.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell ended a two-year miserable period earlier this season by winning th💜ree out of four grands pr🌠ix.

But their more recent downturn in form, ahead of this weekend’s F1 United States Grand Prix in Texas, has prompted a look at plans for next season’s c🎉ar.

“These three weeks off have been great, because it's allowed us all to take a step back and reasse𝓀ss the car as a whole - also looking into next year,” Russell told .

“We've definitely uncov൩ered a few things that we want to be changing going into next year.

“When you're in the midst of a season, you sometimes don't have that opportunity to reall♋y dig deep into the fundamentals of the car. So that's been really positive to see.”

Merce💯des struggled with their floor🐈, and opted to revert to the version used before Spa rather than an updated spec.

This weekend iဣn America they are bringing an updated package again.

“O🦩bviously we reve🐠rted with the upgrades that we brought to Spa,” Russell said.

“Effectively we're making two steps now and we bring this upgrade. So, ꧑we're hoping it's going to have quite an impact.

“I hope with the upgrade we can be in the fight again, at least in qualifying, and fighting for those 🧸top four places. And then in the race fighting for a podium.

“But real💃istically we know McLaren and Lando [Norris] are a good step ahead of everyone right now.”

Mercedes are fourth in the constructors’ championship heading into the United States Grand Prix, 112 points short of th🙈ird-pl🥂aced Ferrari.

In the drivers’ championship, Hamilton sits🦩 𓆉sixth and Russell is seventh.

Mercedes have confirmed that Russell’s next teammate in 2025 will be the prodigious Kimi Antonell🌠i, who will replace Hamilton.

It means Antonelli can benefit from the work put it to iden☂tify the key issues around next year’s W16.
