2022 Problems Continue As Lewis Hamilton Left Doubting Mercedes Despite “Great Work” With Promising Mexican GP Result

F1 returned to Mexico and it did not disappoint a bit. The qualifying session was one of the best sessions for Mercedes this season as George Russell and Lewis Hamilton finished P2 and P3 respectively behind pole-sitter Max Verstappen. The main race promises to be an exciting affair before Red Bull and the Mercedes drivers.

Mercedes will be delighted with their qualifying session in Mexico as their drivers drove their hearts out. Furthermore, it will give them a huge confidence boost going into the race against Max Verstappen. Moreover, the last 2 drivers to start the race from P3 have gone on to win the race. Meanwhile, the last 3 pole sitters have failed to qualify for the podium places.

Both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell posted competitive times against Max Verstappen as they missed out on the pole by 3-tenths of a second. However, Lewis will be disappointed having missed out on P2 by the finest of margins against George Russell.

Talking to Bono, his race engineer after the qualifying, Lewis said on his radio, “Great work guys! Where did they find their extra speed”? Bono replied, “Straight line speed and turn 13”.

Mercedes have struggled all season with their straight-line speed. Their lack of speed on the straights was well evident at Suzuka as Lewis failed to overtake Esteban Ocon in the entire race.
