Hamilton can ‘feel’ improvement of Mercedes F1 floor upgrade
The seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, achieved a promising third place on the grid for the United States Grand Prix. He capitalized on the latest changes made by his team and qualified behind Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris. Although Mercedes downplayed the significance of the new floor upgrade, stating its focus on their 2024 car, Hamilton has a different perspective. He believes that while it may not indicate future performance, the upgrade has brought noticeable improvement, a rarity in recent years. Hamilton emphasized that there is still room for improvement in other areas of the car but praised the progress made and the dedication of the team. Although he is uncertain about his level of competitiveness, he hopes for a tight battle with McLaren and Ferrari on race day, especially with Red Bull not in the top three.
