"It sounds like there is, maybe, somewhat of a grip onto what’s going on..."
Jenson Button, Hamilton’s former teammate, insists that he won’t be impacted by being outperformed on a Saturday again by Russell.
“Will it affect him? I don’t think it will affect him, being just behind his teammate,” Button said on Sky Sports. “Lewis is in a comfortable place mentally. He knows how good he is. I don’t think he’s got to worry about that.Button said about Hamilton’s qualifying in Miami: “The reason why he was quicker on the mediums is because, on the softs, it looked like he overheated on one corner.“I still think, if you can look after the soft tyre, it probably was the better tyre.Solving the problems that have plagued them since the beginning of 2022 does not seem significantly closer for Mercedes yet.
“So far, it’s been at times - late last year, in moments - where they looked very good, and competitive again.“Once they can string a few races together, where they are consistently in the top five, it’s a different story. Then, maybe they have figured it out.”Russell has worryingly pointed out this weekend: “We know that probably some of the changes we’ve made since the end of last year perhaps over compensated with some of the development items we did.
“We have limitations with the car now which is a totally different to what we had this time 12 months ago.”Toto Wolff admits even Adrian Newey may struggle to fix Mercedes’ current problemsLewis Hamilton’s first words after Angela Cullen starts new job in motorsports
