Lewis Hamilton is "hoping and praying" that Mercedes can soon find a solution for the porpoising problem which continues to plague their cars this season.
The Silver Arrows thought they had got to the bottom of the problem a few weeks ago, even if their performance was still behind their Ferrari and Red Bull rivals. But in the first practice session ahead of this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix Hamilton was still bouncing around in his seat when the taps were fully open.
It was a problem which had been pre-empted by Hamilton at the Friday morning press conference, when he said he expected the bouncy street circuit in Baku to work against them. The seven-time world champion is hoping a permanent solution might be found by the time the British Grand Prix comes around.
