Fed-up Lewis Hamilton has described his Mercedes car as the worst he has ever driven at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Hamilton has won seven times around the Montreal circuit but cut a disconsolate figure after the first two practice sessions on Friday, in which he finished eight and 13th. The seven-times world champion had been hoping his team had made improvements to his car and made it a smoother drive after suffering severe back problems in Azerbaijan last weekend.
Instead, Hamilton endured another torrid day in what is becoming a nightmare 2022 season. He said: “Whatever we do on this car to improve it just makes it more unhappy. One touch of the kerbs here and the car goes flying, it's so stiff - and here in Montreal, you really need to ride the kerbs.
