Mercedes have struggled with porpoising and tried to combat it only to trigger another problem where their cars bottom out whenever they hit a bump in the road. A lower speed would be very much undesired as Mercedes battle Ferrari and Red Bull, with their rivals proving to be faster in 2022. No time like the present to pull together and we will. Throughout the weekend in Baku last time out, Hamilton regularly complained about the ‘bouncing’ and was seen clutching his back after the race. The octuple world champions have struggled with severe porpoising as their cars have been bouncing uncontrollably following the new regulations and car designs implemented for the 2022 season. However, the Brit took to social media to confirm he will take part this weekend.

Lewis Hamilton's win in the 2007 United States Grand Prix was just his second F1 win in what would become a record-breaking 103 victories.

Roger (Penske) is a great business person and has a great passion for motorsports, and I think if he thought, and if Liberty came to us and said, there’s a way you could have an event here and know you’re not going to lose money, I think it would make the conversation easier. “And now (to host F1 races), you’re bidding against countries that don’t have to make a return. “I think we’ve always felt F1 would have a fit here,” IMS president Doug Boles said earlier this year. Mario Andretti says he's not sure Indy could produce the celebrity star power and off-track events F1 are prioritizing. “Had we not had Vegas, Miami and COTA, I’d say (IMS) would definitely work,” McLaren CEO Zak Brown told IndyStar. “But I think we’re maxed out with what we need in America. For what we need for this sport to be massively successful here, I don’t think there’s room.” That 2007 race was the end of an eight-year F1 run in Indy, and the series didn't race in the U.S. again until 2012, moving the USGP to Austin. This year, there are three races in the U.S.: Austin, Las Vegas and Miami.

The seven-time world champion has finished behind teammate Russell at every round since the first race.

"I am my biggest critic and I don't take that stuff to heart. I don't think he has lost anything, no, not at all." We all knew George was quick, and it was just how quick is he?

«Il avait une casquette très basse sur les yeux et un masque donc, méconnaissable», dit M. Bourret qui a assisté Hamilton dans ses achats.

Lewis Hamilton may not be in contention for the race win in Canada but he is happy the FIA are set to address the problem of porpoising.

“We have raised the ride height and we still have the bouncing,” Hamilton said. “I understand the safety part of it but if you raise your car you will have less issues.” The FIA’s position has dominated discussion in the build-up to the Canadian GP, with a majority of drivers welcoming the proposed changes.

But of course, you're going to try and find the limit of what you can cope with for performance. “But I think there’s lots of work that needs to be done and it’s positive the FIA is working towards improving it because we have this car for the next few years. Lewis Hamilton has disagreed with Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc over the FIA’’s new technical directive addressing porpoising issues.

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen have taken different stances on the Technical Directive issued by the FIA to try and eliminate porpoising.

We need to work closely with the FIA and not take it lightly, which I don’t think they are.” “Safety is the most important thing,” said the seven-time former World Champion. “I think in every team someone has complained about porpoising. Even before the press conference, at which he sat side-by-side with Hamilton for the first time this season, Verstappen, who is out in front by 21 points in his World Championship defence, had voiced opposition to the FIA announcement, saying: “If you can’t design the car properly for that then that’s your fault, it’s not the regs’ fault. “I don’t think it will really change much in performance. We want to do our job but race the safest. I might be wrong.

LEWIS HAMILTON is on a collision course with Max Verstappen in the latest row over Formula 1's bouncing problem.Hamilton has been outspoken on this ye.

"It is not about coping with the bouncing for the next few years, it is about completely getting rid of it and fixing it so that all of us don't have back problems."

Hamilton was asked about the game during the pre-weekend press conference in Montreal, too, and Verstappen couldn’t resist a tongue-in-cheek remark, with both seeing the funny side in the press conference room: Certainly, it likely provided him a bit of an escape from the battle of this season that he is having with porpoising, especially after suffering evident back pain in Baku last weekend thanks to the bouncing the Mercedes W13 was experiencing. Ayrton Senna’s Super Monaco Grand Prix II was the name of the game on a Sega Genesis, with Hamilton quickly engrossed in it as soon as he had fired the console up.

Lewis Hamilton labelled his FP2 a "disaster" and said the Mercedes W13 was actually getting worse rather than improving.

I think this is the car for the year, so we just have to tough it out and work hard on building a better car for next year. Here you need to use the kerbs so it’s very, very tricky,” he said. “So we were trying different set-ups, me and George, in FP2 just to see if one way works and one way doesn’t. I’d like to hear how it went for him but for me it was a disaster.

I think we've got a race car that will put us in that third-best team position spot, but obviously if we qualify a little bit out of position, it could be tricky.” “It's just a monumental fight the whole time to keep it out of the wall,” he added. “Those ones don't work, so we have to go and find something else. “When it bounces, when the car leaves the ground a lot, and then when it lands it grips up and it goes in different directions, and you're just trying to catch a car that jumps, hops, grips, hops, grips. “It's the worse that I've ever felt any car here, so I'm hoping overnight we can try and make some changes. “It's not the Montreal that I know, that I'm used to and that I've experienced in my career,” said Hamilton, who took his first ever pole and victory here back in 2007.

The definition of a metric, based on the car’s vertical acceleration, that will give a quantitative limit for acceptable level of vertical oscillations. He said: "It's quite a surprise because Mercedes have been spending the last couple of weeks and races saying that something should be done to address the bouncing issues. "So this is working against Mercedes and this could have a very negative effect on Lewis Hamilton's season. Leclerc retired on lap 21 when leading Verstappen as smoke poured out of the back of his car. "Actually, at the last race, it wasn't the aerodynamic phenomenon. I also think that a lot is going on in his head because he hasn’t been exposed to such a situation yet. That spirit will bring us back competing at the front." That's because the FIA said on Thursday they will be taking steps to reduce the high-speed bouncing of cars on safety grounds. So the wind tunnel isn’t a helpful environment for either anticipating nor fixing this." But ahead of the next race in Canada they have been offered hope of improvement.
