Lewis Hamilton Has Never Sounded as Discouraged as He Does at ... (Sportscasting)

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes raise game in Montreal, bounce back into ... (NBC Sports - Motorsports)

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.
