168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has hit back at claims from a former Mercedes F1 colleague that he “lets himse⛄lf go a bit” wh🐻en he does not have a chance to win.

Former Mercedes engineer Phillip Brandle identified what he believes to be the seven-time world champion’s biggest weak🎃ness in a recent intervie🎐w with German outlet Motorsport-Total.

"What I think always sets him apart a little, both positively and negatively, is that when he knowsཧ he has a chance of winning something, he can drive at 200 per cent,” Brandle said.

“But if he has the feeling that the car isn’t running well, that he somehow has no chance of winning the race, then unfortunately he lets himself goꦰ a bit, which is a shame.

“I✅f he sees even the slightest chance, then he drives as well as ever, I think, like no other.”

Hamilton responded to Br🍬andle’s comments ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, insisting he has been “working my butt off all year” in his attempts to get to grips with Mercedes’ tricky W15 challenger.

“I’m slowly gett🍒🔯ing more and more comfortable with the car,” Hamilton said at Zandvoort.

“I’ve definitely struggled during the year. I read some comment from someo💯ne earlier that said that ‘I don’t drive 200 per cent when the car’s not right’, but I’ve been working my butt off all year.

“I’ve been giving everything, and it’s not been good enough, so I’ve just been trying to work at it 🍰and get better.

“And as the car’s progressing, I’m becoming more and more at one with it, and now the results are starting to come, which is a great꧅ feeling.”

Mercedes have made big strides forward in recent months and won three of the four F1 races prior to the🦩 summer b♒reak. 

Hamilton🧸 ended a 945-d🎃ay wait for an F1 victory with a brilliant home win at his home race at Silverstone, before inheriting the win at Spa-Francorchamps after Mercedes teammate George Russell was disqualified.
