Formula 1 will continue this weekend with the Monaco Grand Prix, and Lewis Hamilton is giving his fans some very bad news for which some were probably not prepared, but nevertheless they are coming today. Lewis Hamilton claims that the track of the Formula 1 circuit in Monaco is rougher than in previous years, even saying that it would be the roughest he has ever competed on, which of course will affect his performance.
Lewis Hamilton stated that the Mercedes car "jumps" from one side to the other on the Formula 1 circuit in Monaco, and this makes it extremely difficult to achieve significant performances, he only placed 12th on the first day of trainings. George Russell had a much better day than Lewis Hamilton on the Monaco circuit, he placed 6th among the Formula 1 drivers who competed in the races.
Formula 1 usually takes place on circuits that are extremely well thought out to support the high-speed movement of cars, but Lewis Hamilton complains of very serious problems during the trips he makes. Those from Mercedes have worked intensively on improving the performance of the Formula 1 car, and Lewis Hamilton is even very confident about the evolution in this race, but it seems that the situation is much different.
"There are 100 bumps in one straight. I don't know if the others live like us. But it's the bumpiest roller coaster ride. It's the roughest track ever. It's probably the roughest track I've ever driven. That makes it difficult, but generally our car bounces a lot.
It's different jumping than what we've experienced in the past because it's also in the low-speed [turns], but it's not aero. Bumps make everything worse. Putting a tour together is, wow, a whole new terrain. I don't remember experiencing anything like this before."
Lewis Hamilton says that never in his Formula 1 career has he had experiences of this kind in the races he has competed in, stating that every lap on the track is like a completely new sensation for him, which will surely disappoint many fans. Lewis Hamilton has been struggling since the start of the Formula 1 season to find the form of previous years, and to obtain the victories he hopes for, but it seems that this is very far from happening.
Formula 1 will continue in the coming weeks with many other important races, so it remains to be seen to what extent the British pilot will be able to obtain the victories that he certainly wants extremely much in this period.
