Lewis Hamilton has suggested that set-up compromises made in relation to Mercedes’ new floor contributed to a “difficult” Sao Paulo
Lewis Hamilton expressed his disappointment after finishing in eighth place in the Brazilian Grand Prix. He anticipated a difficult race due to tire degradation issues, which he also experienced in the Sprint race. Hamilton mentioned that there were no changes to the car from the previous day, but the pace was unexpectedly slow. He encountered a strange issue with his left front tire turning in the opposite direction, but it turned out to be minor. Mercedes struggled with straight-line speed throughout the weekend and suffered from overheating tires on the straights. The limited practice time due to the new Sprint format may have affected their setup. Hamilton acknowledged that the team needs to work on the car for future races and remains unsure if they will perform better in Las Vegas.
