Russell doesn't seem to be struggling too much with it does he? For it to be so close last year, then compare it to now, something has either gone seriously wrong at Mercedes, or Red Bull does indeed give you wings!! I've not seen/heard much about Hamilton moaning about it though (could have missed it), so does make you wonder if he's just going through the motions.

Toto Wolff has said that Hamilton has been trying the more experimental setups, at the further extreme ends of setup to try to help fix the porpoising. That's not to knock Russell, he's had a perfect start and might well be quicker than Hamilton, but it seems Hamilton has been tasked with trying to fix the car in races rather than push it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless these teams suddenly find a way to resolve it, it could be a very boring season. Small crumb of comfort is that at least after Canada, we go to a few actual racetracks rather than street circuits where the bouncing seems to be contained.

RedM Posted June 17, 2022 Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 I'm not surprised, if you saw Hamilton climbing out of his car after the race on Sunday he could hardly move, he did look in a lot of pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted June 17, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted June 17, 2022 I’m certainly not a Hamilton fan, but I wouldn’t want to see him end his career because the car design makes it impossible for him to put up with the pain inflicted by the design. Interesting there was a lot of concern for the Ferrari reliability after Sundays race, when Verstappen and Leclerc have 2 technical DNF’s each. Long way to go yet, some of these cars may well develop more issues with reliability due to the porpoising you can only insulate components from excessive vibration so much.

I was out all day, normally I would just check my phone and see who won and watch the highlights on Channel 4 if I wasn't at home. For some reason yesterday decided to record the whole race instead and watch it stupidly late at night, do not regret that decision at all this morning! Great race and great to have for large portions of the race multiple drivers in a position to win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The braking system in F1 cars draws some similarities with their on-road counterparts, but a hand brake isn’t one of them. Similar to a road car, however, the brakes on an F1 car work on all four wheels. Although the addition of handbrakes would ensure another level of safety, there is no place in an F1 monocoque for the device. Additionally, it wouldn’t make sense to install a hand brake for the drivers. An F1 car has a complex braking system that is composed of two circuits of brakes. This means that in case of a braking failure, the second circuit takes over. Found here. A parking brake of some sort would have helped a bit yesterday, but in fairness Sainz would have been more interested in just getting out of the car as quickly as possible, so could easily have not put it on anyway. Could have been a completely different conversation we'd be having if he'd have been a bit slower getting out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Thing yesterday was he didn’t get out because the car was just rolling backwards when he didn’t have the brakes on and he was stopping it from rolling back down to the track. if he could have applied something to stop the car moving he’d have been out quicker as he wouldn’t have had to wait for assistance with keeping the car still.
