Mercedes have explained the reasons behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s pit lane start at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, teasing a significant F1 upgrade package.

Despite qualify🌳ing seventh in Baku, Mercedes opted to start Hamilton from the pit lane.

Mercedes🔯 decided to give Hamilton a new power unit in his pool of components for the rest 🐠of the year.

However, due to an engine failure in Aꦑustralia, Mercedes knew this decision would be inevitable.

With Singapore difficult to overtake, and sprint weekends coಞming up, Mercedes decided to sacrifice Hamilton’s weekend despite a respect꧃able P7 starting position.

Ano🦋ther key factor, revealed by trackside engineering chief Andrew Shovlin, is that Mercedes are preparing a significant upgrade in the coming races.

Speaking about the decision to start from ꧒the pit lane with Hamilton in Baku, Shovlin said on the : “The situation with Lewis really started back in Melbourne when we lost a very young power unit with a failure.

“So we had been aware for a long ti🧔me we were going to have to get another power unit into the pool in order to be able to complete the season without risk of one failing during a race. You definitely don't want that to happen.

“The questioᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚn wa🐠s - where do we do it? You wouldn’t do it normally have taken a pit lane start from a P7 grid position because there would be decent opportunity to score points. But one of the factors for us is that we’ve drifted back in terms of our performance recently. In the near future, we’ve got a good update kit coming.

“We’re hoping that will put us back into a better situation. What we wanted to do was to get the pain of that pit lane start out of the way before we’ve got🧸 a car that can hopefully challenge for podiums on merit.

“So that was the real thinking. Now 🉐that’s behind us so we’re looking forward to the rest of the season. Certainly in Lewis’ case he should have good, reliable and powerful Mercedes engines for the remaining races.”

In recent rounds Mercedes have slipped back in the pecking order amid Ferrari🅠’s resurgence.
