Hamilton’s Mercedes demand as Norris explains jump start – RacingNews365 Review
During the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend, Lewis Hamilton voiced concerns about the lack of rear stability in his Mercedes, especially in the high-speed Sector 1, labeling the W15 as being in a “different category” in Jeddah and requested changes be made, three years into the ground-effects era. Lando Norris faced scrutiny for a potential jump start, but was ultimately cleared by the stewards and finished eighth, trailing his teammate Oscar Piastri by four places. Oliver Bearman’s impressive F1 debut in Jeddah earned him praise from Hamilton and attention from George Russell, who evaluated Bearman’s chances of securing a full-time seat on the 2025 grid. Daniel Ricciardo struggled in Jeddah, continuing his challenging start to the season against Yuki Tsunoda, with hopes of returning to the Red Bull seat growing increasingly distant as he searches for answers to his performance woes.
