Struggling to Sleep Thinking of Tyre Pressures and Downforce’: George and Lewis Preview F1’s Return
The Formula 1 paddock has returned to action after a three-week summer break, with the Dutch Grand Prix marking the start of the second half of the 2024 season.
Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, drivers for Mercedes, have shared their thoughts on the break and their goals for the remainder of the season.
Both drivers used the time off to recharge and reflect, but soon found themselves thinking about racing again. Hamilton spent his break exploring Africa, while Russell struggled to sleep thinking about car settings and performance.
The team has made significant progress during the break, with Hamilton praising the “phenomenal” turnaround. Russell added that the team’s improvement has been drastic, with three wins in the last four races.
Despite the strong performances, the drivers remain focused on the fine margins between the top teams. Hamilton aims to catch Ferrari in the Constructors’ Championship and move into the top five in the Drivers’ Championship.
Russell is taking it race by race, focusing on understanding the car better and securing more victories.
The break has allowed the team to regroup and refocus, with Hamilton feeling more comfortable with the improving car.
Russell is not getting too caught up in points, instead prioritizing further understanding of the car and achieving more wins.
As the season resumes, Mercedes is poised to continue their strong form, with the drivers and team motivated to fight for wins and podiums.
The second half of the season promises to be exciting, with the top teams competing fiercely for every point.
