Lewis Hamilton has endured a rough season with the Mercedes Formula 1 team, and Friday's practices at the Canadian Grand Prix were awful.
The actual test comes Sunday in the Canadian Grand Prix. Me and George went with much different set-ups in this P2 just to see if one way works and one way doesn’t. He’s a distant second on his team to Mercedes newcomer George Russell. And all the fiddling done with the new car since the end of last season has not made it substantially better. He’s not going to avenge the bitter setback against Max Verstappen from last season. In addition to a figurative rough ride, 2022 has been a literal rough ride for Hamilton. His Mercedes has experienced “porpoising” all season. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz qualified third, and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton filled out the second row.
Lewis Hamilton was left feeling overwhelmed after securing only his second podium of the season at the Canadian Grand Prix.
"I did not expect this coming into the weekend. "They are a little bit too quick for us at the moment but I was giving it everything. "But honestly, our pace was quite good.
Montreal, Jun 19 (IANS): After securing a P4 in the Canadian Grand Prix qualifying race on Saturday, the seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton was ...
Maybe when I was in my first year of racing, the first year here in 2007, when I got my first P4 in qualifying. "Lewis did a great job to take P4 but unfortunately he was out of phase with the other cars and set his time one lap earlier, so he didn't get the track in its best condition. P4 has never felt so good, to be honest.
MAX VERSTAPPEN was fuming with Red Bull after a pitlane error saw him lose out to Lewis Hamilton.
But I find it a little disappointing when he’s so kind of hard on the team, when yeah sure something’s not right but they’ve got to work together to get the best they can." A win for the reigning champion has extended the advantage between him and Leclerc to just under 60 points. The pair battled ferociously at the end but Verstappen held on to win the race.

They speak for other people," Verstappen said, via AutoSport. "They should just focus on themselves and say what they think. The reigning F1 champion declared that Hamilton and Russell should "focus on themselves" and not involve others in their opinions. Hamilton and his Mercedes teammate George Russell have been particularly affected by it.

“It feels like that – so good, to be honest.” “I am so happy, to have P4 is so good – I never felt so good to be P4 or at least not for a long time since my early days in 2007 or 2008,” Hamilton said. Twenty-four hours after lambasting his car as “undrivable” and the worst of his Formula One career, Lewis Hamilton smiled with joy after qualifying fourth for Mercedes at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Reigning F1 champion Max Verstappen has called out Mercedes F1 drivers on the hot topic of porpoising, stating that they should speak for solely themselves.
All drivers, at least one in every team, have said that they were in pain after Baku, that they had difficulty in keeping the car on track or blurred vision." In others, in the background sometimes people say different things. So just speak for themselves instead of involving other people in it."

"I think we are better in the medium and high-speed corners than we are in the low-speed, but we have bouncing so I don't know how it is going to be through Copse. Hamilton complained the W13 had been worse than ever on Friday after experimenting with set-up during the first two practice sessions. "It was good, when you get a full race distance in you find a lot of things out about the car and the relationship you have with the car, and data etcetera.
Lewis Hamilton said his Canadian Grand Prix podium which ended a run of bad form was "overwhelming."
"They're a little bit too quick for us at the moment," he said on Red Bull and Ferrari. "I was giving it everything but we're getting closer. "It's been such a battle this year with the car and as a team. So thank you to everyone that's here and back at the factory."
LEWIS HAMILTON finished third at the Canadian Grand Prix to secure his second podium of the season.
We need to keep on working." The result is Hamilton’s best finish since the Bahrain Grand Prix at the start of the season. Hamilton passed Fernando Alonso early on to jump into a podium position. It’s been such a battle this year with the car and as a team but we continue to stay vigilant and focussed, never giving up and it's something I'm so proud of and inspired by. The car was a little bit better today and we got something here. Our pace was quite good particularly in the second phase of the stint.

'I am delighted for Lewis because he was disadvantaged by the safety car at various races previously. It's been such a battle this year with the car, but we continue to stay vigilant, focused and never give up. Having finished behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, the 37-year-old Briton said: 'It's quite overwhelming to get this third place.
LEWIS HAMILTON managed to secure a third-placed finish at this year's Canadian Grand Prix.
Hamilton admitted after the chequered flag in Canada that his impressive third-placed finish has given him a renewed wave of self-belief as he prepares to return to Silverstone with his head held high. Mercedes have suffered from problems with bouncing to a greater degree on higher-speed circuits, though, which suggests that it could be a difficult weekend for Hamilton as he looks to impress on home soil once again. Verstappen appeared to mock the 37-year-old as he explained the issue in his post-race press conference, with the Red Bull man bouncing up and down in his seat while pretending to hold a steering wheel.

I was pushing very hard to pass Max but we just didn't have enough pace. Verstappen said: "The safety car didn't help. He said: "It has given me and the team a lot of hope. I am back to feeling young again!" We have got to keep pushing and keep pushing. "It is feeling good.
In the wake of the opening two practice sessions for yesterday's Canadian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton cut a disconsolate figure.
I was just about keeping up with these guys, they pulled away at the end, but it has given the team and I a lot of hope that there is more to come from this car.” On the second stint, Lewis and George were almost matching the frontrunners, but we’re not yet there. Rival teams hinted that Mercedes had got advance warning about it, hence a second floor stay created in time and attached to Russell’s car for Friday practice. The seven-time world champion has struggled to put a positive spin on much of his exploits in the car this season. I like to think the high-speed nature should suit us more but there are no guarantees.” “The potential is truly there if we can get the set-up right,” he said.

We will get there eventually I just want to be in the battle with these guys. Moving forward, I think we'll be a little bit more cautious on doing too many experiments as it really does hinder you through the weekend, especially if you only have practice one and two in the dry and don't get a FP3, for example.

"We just need to develop the car in a different window that we had. We didn't get it right in many areas, but we own the problem and we need to fix it." We just need to keep working," said Wolff.

We don't want to injure the driver so they're taking it very seriously. "We're just trying to work…

De le voir du côté positif, sur le podium, aujourd’hui, c’est bon à voir. Il y a encore tellement de travail à faire pour retourner à l’avant. Nous n’y sommes pas encore. « Les qualifications d’hier [samedi] ont été émouvantes pour moi, a-t-il dit un peu plus tard au micro de Sky Sports. De retour dans le garage, nous étions comme : wow, c’est magnifique pour nous. Le chef d’équipe, Toto Wolff, avait même qualifié la voiture d’« énorme boîte à merde » après la première séance. Hamilton, quatrième sur la grille de départ, a dépassé l’Alpine de Fernando Alonso au 24e tour pour prendre le troisième rang une première fois dans la course. C’est ce qu’il a fait à sept reprises par le passé. Mais cette fois-ci, la situation était différente.

"I think there are lots of learnings from this weekend and improvements that we can make moving forwards," he added. The British driver was also matching the leaders' lap times at points during the race, but refused to get carried away post-race. And he moved up a place during the race to finish in third, only seven seconds behind race-winner Verstappen who held off a late charge from Ferrari's Carlos Sainz.
With his second podium finish of the season, Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes rediscovered some pace in F1's return to Montreal last weekend.
Mercedes still doesn’t have the pace of Red Bull and Ferrari, and even after raising the ride height in Montreal, the cars still bounced. He was Sir Lewis Hamilton when he climbed from the car, not the veteran struggling to hold off his younger teammate and keep the leaders in sight. This is not a Rolls-Royce. And drivers should be aware of this,” said Franz Tost, the former driver-turned-head of AlphaTauri. “If the cars are too stiff, or it’s too difficult for them, maybe they should stay at home, in the living room, sit in the chair, and then they can do the races on TV or wherever. Then he finished third Sunday to earn just his second podium in nine races this season. That quest for downforce has created a “porpoising” effect that is, at minimum, dangerous to a drivers’ long-term health. Montreal is, after all, the site of Hamilton’s first Formula One victory in 2007.
