An uphill start for Lewis Hamilton. Friday of free trials of the English driver did not start in the best way. The seven-time world champion closes at twelfth place in the standings, with still many problems on the car.
Start to review
Despite the good race held in Spain, it was known that Monaco could represent a track where we will have seen one Mercedes in difficulties. Expectations, at least for now, are confirmed.
Bouncing problem
Hamilton is the pilot, between the two of silver arrows, which appeared to be in greater difficulty. The problem involving number 44 on the grid concerns the hopping. In fact, the English didn't like the layout at all.
"It's the bumpiest track I've ever driven on. La Our car bounces a lot, but it's a different bounce than we had in the past and it also happens at low speed, so it's not just a question of aerodynamics. It's worse than riding a roller coaster. I think the bumps on the track make the situation worse. I don't remember ever having such an experience before”.
“Putting the ride together is difficult. We have work to do overnight to fix this. I didn't think we would be as quick as Ferrari and Red Bull, but at the moment we have to concentrate to stay ahead of the others McLaren".
“I didn't get to put together some fantastic laps. The first sector is good, the second was almost okay, while the third was missing. We have to try to understand how to improve the car on bumps and I hope for a different day tomorrow."
