Porpoising and bouncing was an issue that hampered Mercedes’ 🍸W13 challenger for long periods of last sea🔯son until they finally got on top of the issue.

The issues have not been as prevalent this year but seven-time worl♈d champion Hamilton revealed that returning bouncing problems in his W14 made his weekend more challenging. 

“It was kind of a non-eventful race,” Hamilton told Sky after finishing fourth in Sunday’s ra🌠ce in Belgium. 

“There wasn’t much going on and I wasn’t able 𝄹to keep up with the c༺ars ahead of me. I struggled at the beginning. 

“The rear-end is our biggest issue and we had big bouncing𓆏 this weekend so we were back to the bouncing like w♈e had last year.

“At the end I was keeping the Ferrari within a few se🐟conds but I couldn't get any closer to battle and to get the fastest lap at the end, it was nice to have the gap to the car behind. 

"T🎶he last lap was decent. It was gusty today, it was difficult out there to keep it on track.” 

Asked how much of a concern the returning bouncing problem is, Hamilton replied: “[The team] doꦡn’t know [what’s caused the bouncing]. 

“To me it is a concern bu﷽t we’ll work through the data this week and try and figure ꦜout what we do for the next race.

“I know what I want,ꦛ I’m praying for it and I’m just waiting for the day we get it."
