Reflecting on the day at the Hungaroring. Hamilton said: “Today’s not been a good day really. The weather’s been good. It’s♏ been nice to be here. We’ve not been on form today.
“The car hasn’t felt good setup wise. I think we have an idea why. We’ll just wo༺rꦺk overnight. Not the best prep so far.”
Hamilton hinted that there’s a significant change Mercedes can make overnight to improve their level of performance, stating “there’s a p🅷articular thing”.
Even so, Hamilton - who has🌺 won the Hungarian GP on eight previous occasions - was adamant Mercedes didn’t have the pace of either McLaren o🌠r Red Bull.
“Little tweaks but the car was pretty much the sam꧋e [between the sessions]. “He added. “There’s a particular thing that we had left that was changed for t𝓡his weekend that we need to go back on. It’s all relatively close otherwise.
“W🗹e couldn’t do the laps of the other guys today but the long run pಌace was decent at the end.”
Since introducing a new front wing in Monaco, Mercedes have enjoyed an impre♉ssive upward trajectory.
They’ve won two races, winning the British Grand P𝓰rix with Hamilton on merit.

However, it seems the W15 pe🅺rforms best in ܫcooler conditions - like Canada and Britain - while during hotter weather, it struggles relatively-speaking.
Russell🐻 believes it’s something Mercedes still need to work on if they’re going to challenge Norris and Verstappen at the Hungaroring.
“We definitely got in more laps than most in the long run between FP1 and FP2,” he explained. “McLaren looks really quick, Lando is flying at the moment. I don’t think Max is to🧔o far behind. I think there’s a power difference between tho♛se two in the qualifying laps.
“Race run, Lando, Max, look a bit out front. The hot conditions of Austria and Barcelona, we were o꧟ff the pace versus those two drivers, and in the cooler conditions, we were ahead of those two. Something we need to work on.”
