Lewis Hamilton says bumpy Monaco track makes for 'roller-coaster ride'
FirstpostThe seven-time world champion wound up 12th quickest after the second session of the day in his Mercedes, more than 1.6 seconds off the pace set by Charles Leclerc and his Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz. Monte Carlo: Lewis Hamilton described his experience in Friday’s practice at the Monaco Grand Prix as like taking the “bumpiest roller-coaster ride ever”. “Firstly, it’s the bumpiest the track has ever been,” said Hamilton, a three-time winner of the Monaco race. It’s just the bumps on the track are making it worse.” Hamilton said he remained encouraged by the potential of the capricious Mercedes car and the performance of team-mate George Russell, who was sixth behind the two Red Bulls of Sergio Perez and world champion Max Verstappen and Lando Norris of McLaren. “But now we have these super-heavy cars – they’re heavier than ever before, the braking zones are different.” Russell said that at times his car’s front wheels bounced up and were off the ground.
