Damage to his W15 resulted in a tough race for Lewis Hamilton in Austria, on top of his penalty...
Lewis Hamilton endured a tough race at the Red Bull Ring, having picked up damage to his W15 early on in the Austrian Grand Prix .
But Hamilton’s big issue was damage to the underside of his car, with the British driver explaining to media – including PlanetF1.com – what had been going on. Hamilton could be seen moving over to congratulate Russell on the slow-down lap, and said: “From my side, it’s been different but, for George, you can see he’s doing very well, he’s won a Grand Prix already so that’s huge for everyone, a huge boost.”Speaking after the race, Mercedes’ team boss Toto Wolff revealed the extent of Hamilton’s time loss to the floor damage, saying it was as much as a quarter of a second per lap.
Having claimed the team’s first victory since Russell’s win in Brazil 2022, Wolff said he’s been encouraged by the increasing competitiveness of the W15 in recent races – upgrades introduced to the car have transformed the machine comprehensively since the start of the season.“That is very encouraging to see that upward trend and the consolidation of the trend.
