168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has suggested Mercedes’ new upgrade package potent𒐪ially was the cause of his unusual spin during the early stage🃏s of the United States Grand Prix.

Hamilton was the only DNF in Sunday’s race at the Circuit of the America, spinning off into th🥃e gravel trap at the pen𝓰ultimate corner on Lap 3.

It was in similar fashion to teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, who lost control of his Mercedes in qualifying.

Hamilton ꧃was surprised by the spin, citing “bouncin🤡g” in the lead up to it.

As quoted by Motorsport.c🦹om, Hamilton said: “I had a great start, was feeling good and got up to 12th. It was the best start that I’ve had at turn one in a long time.

“I w🌠asn’t even pushing at that point; I was literally just trying to get going and bringing the tyres up to temperat💮ure.

“The car started bouncing, the left front started bouncing and the rear 💫end just came round. It was the same as George yesterday.”

Hamilton hinted the upgrade package, which he was running in the race, w🦹hile Russell wasn’t after hi🍬s crash and subsequent pit lane start, possibly caused his spin.

“In P1 I had the same thiꦗng,” he added. “I had the spin in Turn 3, which is so rare. I have never spun in Turn 3 in all the years I’ve been here.

“I was just saying about George obviously having th꧒e same problem yesterday, he has gone back to the old-spec car and is looking good out there, so maybe there is something with the new upgrade.

“We𓄧 will investigate as much as we can, and after today we will get the data and see if we are going to be on the old or the new spec next week.”

Mercedes boss Toto W🍸olff is convinced “we 🌱definitely have an issue” blaming the car’s aero balance, not Hamilton, for the error.

“100% the car. He wasn’t even pushing at that stage. We seen it with George yesterജday who was pushing it but still,” Wolff told Sky.

“We definitely have an issue. Lewis Hamilton does not lose a c☂ar on lap ಌ5.”
