“It’s so bouncy out🥂 here,” he said at one point during the opening session. “I’m f****** losing my mind.” 

Speaking at the end of Friday’s running, Hamilton added: “It ✨is the bumpiest track I have ever been t😼o. It is the bumpiest track I have ever driven.

“So one, that makes it difficult and two our car bounces a lot. It is different boun🐎cing to what we have experienced in t🎃he past.

“It is in the low speed, it is not aero and the bumps in the track are making it worse, so it is not a case of learning how to drive the track, itꦜ is just fighting the car. 

"S💫o putting the lap tog🍸ether is wow…holy crap…I have not experienced it like that before.”

Hamilton conceded Mercedes have plenty of wor⭕k to do overnight♕ if they are to turn things around in time for qualifying and does not anticipate to be in the fight with the Ferraris and Red Bulls. 

“I remember back in the🐽 day my first years here, a light nimble car was so much better,” Hamilton continued. "But now we have these super heavy🦹 cars and the breaking zones are different.

“It is crazy it is 2022 and the tracks aren’t as smooth when they are resur♑faced, technol✤ogy is still against us. 

“I think we made some improvements going into🌃 that sessioꦦn and when you do put a lap together the grip doesn't feel too bad. 

“It is j🐷ust eyeballs coming out the sockets, so we have some work to do overnight and as I anticipated, we are not as quick as the Ferraris or the Red Bulls.” 

Asked how Mercedes can get on top of the bouncing, Hamilton replied: “We are going to have to figure out how to get around that and down the straight there are some big hits but it is different to bounci𒀰ng hitting.

“It is bouncing but it is a different feel and there is like 100 different bumps on one of the strai𒈔ghts, so I don’t know how it is for others, but it is the bumpiest rollercoaster ride ever.

“I just didn’t get to put toget𝐆her the sectors together. We will study the data and figure out how to improve♋ the car.

“It feels like the car has the potential to be up there with the guys but there are all these things that are hindering us a lit🃏tle bit but we won’t✤ stop fighting.”
