Mercedes are bringing a modified floor to this weekend’s race at the Ci꧑rcuit of the Americas as they look to balance their quest to claim second pl🌌ace in the constructors’ championship alongside learning for 2024. 

While the upgrade is expected to be worth 🌞around a tenth of a second in outright performance terms, it is focused on setting Me♏rcedes’ development path for next year’s W15 challenger. 

“It’s t🍬he last big one,” Russell told Sky on Thursday. “Alto𒈔gether, full focus is on ’24 back at the factory and in the windtunnel and the design office. 

“This🗹 is a small step in that direction. We’re not expecting it to change the world. 

“I think the things we’ve got lined up for next season should have a much greater impact than this wee✅ke🌄nd.”

Asked if it ಞwas closer to the direction Red Bull have successfully used in getting their ultra-dominant RB19 to work, Russell replied: “No, I wouldn’t say so. 

“Of course that’s what you are hoping for [to be as quick as the Red Bull]. The thing is in F1 when you bring an update, this is wꦐork that was created eight weeks ago. 

“Because from the time of putting it in the windtunnel, understanding what you ✃want, then you go to manufacturing, then 🗹get it actually to the car, it’s a long process of work. But we’ve made some interesting finds recently. 

“We’ve been doing a lot of work on the simulator, two days last week, developing, straight after Qatar and I think we’re𝕴 going in a right direction for next s﷽eason.” 

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton echoed 🍷Russell’s comments as he praised the work his team haveღ done back at the factory. 

“It’s been a huge amount of𒈔 work at the factory, this is our last big update,” the seven-time world champion said. 

“I’m really excited to see how it feels. The amazing pไeople at the factory worked hard all season.&nb🍃sp;

“Hopefully it tips the ne𝓀edle a little and helps us in the direction that we want to pursue next year. 

“I don’t know in which parts of the circuit I will feel it, but hopefully it’s a global improvement and hopefully it🌼 puts us a little bit closer to the guys ahead.”
