Hamilton ended seventh overall in the more representative second session, just over 0.3s off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen.

Interestingly, Hamilton set the fastest final sector of a𝐆nyone but lost out in the first two-thꦐirds of the lap.

Mercedes expected to go well in Mexico after narrowly missing out on the victory last time out in Austin - before꧋ Hamilton’s disqualification at least - but Friday proved to be a “challenging day” for the 🍰seven-time world champion.

Reflecting on 🃏the action in Mexico, Hamilton thought his W14 “felt completely differenꦜt to what it felt like in Austin”.

“It's been a challenging day for me today, the 𒁃car felt completely different to what it felt like in Austin a week ago and we need to understand why,” he sai🎐d. “We didn't show the most competitive long-runs, so we've been focusing on trying out different set-ups. 

“The track here comes with its challenges, but we've done well here in p𝕴revious years. So, we're not yet fully where we want to be ahead of tomorrow, but we will work hard overnight to improve and make necessary changes. 

“The car showed a promising pace in Austin and I'm confident we can get it to a ꧋good place here and there's plent🧸y of room for us to improve.”

Teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell missed FP1 as Merce🍬des ran Frederik Vesti to meet the FIA’s mandatory rookie driver rul💎ing.

He en📖ded FP2 10th fastest, a couple of tenths off Hamilton.

“It felt good to be back in the car, but I had a challenging session today with mixed ꦉweather conditions and a bit of rain towards 🧔the end of FP2, which compromised the consecutive laps for everybody,” he added. “It's a tight grid out there and lots of traffic during the sessions today, so one of the challenges we will need to tackle this weekend. 

“We also need to make some improvements with the pace of our caﷺr, if we want to be at the front end of Q3 tomorrow, but I know we will work hard overnight to achieve that.”
