Kimi Antonelli: We will return to the old suspension.
During a few days between Spa and Budapest, Mercedes couldn't find the reasons for the loss of speed in the recent races. Before the start of the Hungarian weekend, Kimi Antonelli explained what measures were taken.
Kimi Antonelli: "We will go back to the old suspension, hopefully that will restore my previous feeling. Since switching to this suspension, except in Canada, I have had difficulty handling and didn't feel confident.
There are probably issues on my part as well – I wasn't able to fully adapt to the upgraded car because I tried to maintain my style and drive as I wanted, but that didn't work.
George has a different driving style; he was able to adapt, and for me, this became a weak spot in the European part of the season. I hope returning to the old suspension will bring back the feelings I had before."
