Lewis Hamilton acknowledges the hard work at the Mercedes headquarters
The Mercedes driver continued to acknowledge the hard work that the engineers and employees have been putting in back at the Mercedes headquarters. Earlier on in this season, Mercedes had to suffer a lot due to porpoising issues. But Mercedes is claiming that they’ve found a fix for it.
“There’s been amazing work done in the background and we understand the car a lot more and we understand more of the direction that we need to go. So yes, we are on a better track, because we were on the wrong track before. I’m just excited for the work that everyone’s doing in the background,” said Hamilton.
“And I’m excited to hopefully be back in the fight soon,” concluded the 7-time F1 World Champion. Hamilton will start from P8 today at the picturesque tracks of the Circuit de Monaco.
