🗣 'The car is as it is, and bouncing around like crazy.' Lewis Hamilton thinks Mercedes is staring at a one-second gap to the front at F1’s SingaporeGP, despite topping Friday’s first practice session:
ending up third in the second session, the seven-time champion was downbeat about the German car manufacturer being in the fight for pole position., he reckoned that was a more realistic indicator of where the team was at, with the W13 suffering from extreme bouncing once again.
Reflecting on the opening day of action, Hamilton said: “It started off well, wasn't as great in the second session. So pretty much like every other weekend I would say. “The car is as it is, and bouncing around like crazy. It doesn't feel like we're massively off here this weekend, but we're still probably a second down I would say, something like that. We have just got to keep working on it.”Hamilton reckoned that there was little Mercedes could do to iron out the bouncing – which he said had left him with a headache - as he did suggest his setup had not been as good as teammate Russell.
“There's not really much we can do with the bouncing. It just is as it is,” he said. “Setup wise, definitely I think George was able to find a little more time. I think there's definitely on my side more time, and I just didn't really get a good lap. “I think with the setup I had a lot of locking, but we'll fix it tonight and come back and give it a better try tomorrow.”
