Hamilton on bouncing in Spain: 'We need to find out what it is'

Lewis Hamilton has qualified fifth in Spain. The Briton may start from fourth place due to Pierre Gasly's grid penalty. During free practice, the Mercedes driver suffered a lot from a bouncing car, he told GPblog and others during a press briefing.

"It was definitely a lot better today. Yesterday it was bouncing a lot more. Today I didn't really have much bouncing. Maybe in Turn 14 it starts to bounce a bit. But it's slowly getting better. If you look at the Ferraris, they're bouncing way more than us." Hamilton said.

During qualifying, the two Mercedes collided. Luckily for them, George Russell's action went unpunished. Mercedes made some hefty adjustments to the car. Hamilton explained in detail where the problems of bouncing occurred.

"There's a couple of other people that are bouncing. What we've got to just work on is that the Aston has our rear end. And I don't think they're bouncing. So we've got to figure out what it is. It's obviously aero bouncing, so how the air flows through the tunnels underneath the car. Something going on in that storm underneath. We've got to perfect it." said the seven-time world champion.
