Lewis Hamilton (8./13.)
The seven-time champion is also struggling with his car in Canada, where he has had a number of successes in the past. He complained to his engineer on the radio that the car was out of control.
“None of what we do with the car works. We tried different settings. George and I put on two different set-ups in the second practice. I have to wait and see how he felt, but for me personally it was a disaster.
It seems that the more we try to do something with the car, the worse it gets. We will work on the car, but major changes are not possible. This is not the Montreal I know. I’ve never felt so bad here. Maybe we can do something about it overnight. But it’s hard to change anything about the overall character of the car, “said Hamilton.
George Russell (6./7.)
The young Brit enjoys the Gilles Villeneuv circuit. However, he admits that the W13 is a brutal experience.
“It is fun to ride the local circuit. It is an old school track, very demanding and has bumpy curbs. As for our speed, we could not be satisfied. We lose a lot compared to the peak. Others are also leaving, such as Fernando and Sebastian.
The bouncing still didn’t leave us. It’s brutal. We can’t drive here the same way we used to. We need to improve. We would like to qualify as the third best team, but it will not be easy, “admitted Russell.
