Lewis Hamilton thinks Mercedes has made a small step in Silverstone: “It’s bouncing still quite a bit, through the corners it’s pretty harsh, but it feels like a small step forwards.' F1 BritishGP
Speaking after second practice, Hamilton said it had been “a good day” for Mercedes and that the car was “feeling pretty good” despite the continued bouncing, particularly through the high-speed corners.
“It’s bouncing still quite a bit, not necessarily in a straight line, but through the corners, it’s pretty harsh,” Hamilton said. “Not physically harsh, but just like in the car, on the tyres and everything. So we’ve still got work to do.Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes W13Hamilton said it was difficult to judge the shift in the car compared to the last race in Canada due to how different the circuits are, moving away from the bumpy street track in Montreal to the smoother permanent circuit at Silverstone.“But this is the best track [to drive]. It is still hair-raising and epic to drive, and we’re fighting the car a little bit.
“We were a lot quicker and by the end, when the tyres warmed up, we were quicker than the Ferraris. By the end, they were tailing off, we were just improving lap after lap.Russell was braced for the team to still encounter bouncing through the high-speed corners, but said the lack of porpoising on the straights was “at least one positive sign”.
“Through Copse and Maggots and Becketts, the car is bouncing around, so we need to try and understand that,” Russell said.
