I disagree with that. Imo Lewis was covering for the team again, and this is the real issue.SKYnRacing24 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2024, 12:14Yeah true but after seing Lewis's quotes its clear they changed too much between P2 and Qualifying (P3 was redundant) and the car was out of the working range.Luscion wrote: ↑25 Aug 2024, 04:48These Pirelli tires are flimsy but it seems to be an issue affecting Merc more than anyone else, i dont usually see RB or Ferrari complaining about tire temp issues nearly as often and Mclaren rarely does, if at all. Shov and Allison both talked about their issues with the rear tires still overheating before the summer break and that their working on giving Lewis a car he can attack withSKYnRacing24 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2024, 03:19Poor from Hamilton, You come back after a summer break and produce that. Im not even surprised by his one lack of pace under these regs and cheese tyres i don't expect it to get better in Ferrari red next year. Hopefully Russell can sneak a podium some how.
If you have F1 tv, you can go back and listen to it yourself. Lewis said it as soon as he exited the garage for his second run in Q2!
