Lewis Hamilton finished fourth at Spa and set the fastest lap of the race. The seven-time world champion said that the buildup of the car on the straights returned this weekend. This raises concerns for Lewis, but he hopes that the problem will be solved by the next stage.
Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate George Russell finished sixth.
Lewis Hamilton (4th): “In my race, almost nothing happened. I could not do anything because the car did not allow me to go at the same pace as the competitors in front.
On the first laps, there were problems with the wear of the rear tires – this is our weak point. Moreover, this weekend the buildup of the car returned, as it did last year.
Closer to the finish line, I was driving close to the Ferrari, but I couldn’t get close, so we decided to put on new tires to show the best lap. It’s good that the advantage over rivals allowed us to make a pit stop. The last lap was great.
The team does not know what caused the buildup, and it worries me. We will review all the telemetry collected this week and try to fix the problem for the next race. I know what I want and I pray to get it, but there is nothing left but to wait for the day when we have such a car.
