Actually, it's not just Mercedes and Hamilton. Sainz, Gasly, Ricciardo also complained about bouncing. And on that ling straight it looked really painful.
Though, I'm not sure that changes in regulation is needed. As Norris said, teams can adjust height and reduce bouncing, but they will have to sacrisfy performance in this way.

I have a feeling that while indeed some of the cars do bounce badly, all this new drama about the health hazard may be triggered in order to:
* get some more attention on Hamilton, Mercedes and their sponsors
* if it succeeds, by chance, and a regulation is imposed, then they hope that all the cars may have to get a "safety margin" so the car is not bouncing and then maybe the Mercs will be on top again

I find pretty much laughable (in a pretty sad way) that when Hamilton has a problem, people should make regulations for him to be fine, but when regulations are to be made, he may not comply (see the piercing safety regulation and drama).

It annoys me how Hamilton and the rest of the Mercedes associates whine about the health hazards of bouncing/dolphining cars and that the regulations need to be changed because of this to keep the drivers healthy. Only a couple of teams have problems, the rest were able to make a good car and settings - why is it necessary to change the regulations because of a few losers? Let Mercedes increase the clearance to lose speed and to preserve the health of the riders.

The battle for the world championship seemed to be in full swing after the first few races. Verstappen has taken a lot of points in the last races and Leclerc has already retired many times. The difference is now starting to become significant in the ranking. I think Ferrari with Le Clerc should now put the world title out of his mind. There appear to be a lot of technical problems in this car. Verstappen drove decent today and that was enough for the victory.

I guess that is too much early to see what will be the next champions of this season. It is true that Ferrari has retired in some races, but there are also many race yet to do, and if Ferrari solves their issues, I guess that we

will see a nice show between Leclerc and Verstappen. Nevery Say never, hope that Ferrari will win the title Cool

There are still quite a few races to go, so we can't really say who will be world champion yet. And Verstappen started poorly at the start of the season, but is lucky that LeClerc has now retired a few times in a row. The big losses and disappointment of the season seems to be Mercedes after all. World champion for years, 2nd last year and now they don't even participate. It may have to do with the new regulations. I wonder why other teams are performing so well and Mercedes not. Then there must be something wrong with management.

I've said it right after Barcelona, that was the moment they've changed the engines to something worse than what they had at the start of the year.
Pretty shame, they've killed their chances, Leclerc's, and the chances of 2 other teams too.

Not much to say about today's race. It could have been *very* interesting... until the Ferraris started failing one after the other.

The only memorable part for me was the fixing of Tsunoda's rear wing / DRS flaps with duct tape. And then surviving until the end of the race. Cheesy

How bad its Ferrari doing? take a look on this.

Red Bull - Ferrari gap in constructor championship: 80 points.

Ferrari - Mercedes gap in constructor championship : 38 points.

So Mercedes its more close to Ferrari than Ferrari close to Red Bull. And this with a really bad Mercedes, imagine if Mercedes have a good car to fight. Good bye to Ferrari chance to win constructor if that pass.

Judging by the retirement of two cars of the main team due to technical problems and two more cars from the client teams, Ferrari has huge technical problems. There is a possibility that the season that promised to be interesting by the middle will turn into a fight in the middle of the peloton and the first three places will be known - Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes.

Yeah, feel like an idiot picking the Dutchie for pole when LeClerc was clearly doing very well in practice. He's been the one, dropping points all season long I have, doing this. But the race will be another matter, and I expect Verstappen to again show his climbing prowess (and then defending nous).

Anyway, race in 2 hours. Might tune in here and there if I manage to avoid my Sunday comatose. Podium could have 3 different teams I feel!

Leclerc takes pole position for the race tomorrow.

Then Perez comes in with beating out Verstappen with that burning of the rubbers. That was so close at the end for Checo getting in second place for qualifying.

Very impressive run by Leclerc. I really thought he had lost his touch but in the last few races he has become a comeback wizard when it comes to these races.

So there IS a limit to how much you can spend on repairs caused by a race, yes? And what happens when that budget's hit? They can't repair the car and the team has to retire?

If they spend more than the budget cap they get penalized. There are discussions already about the possibility that some teams may have to choose at the end of the year whether to skip a race or go over the budget.
The "lucky" part is that the budget is in USD which got very strong against GBP and EUR and this may squeeze a couple of extra millions of GBP / EUR, since the teams calculate the expenses in European money.

This is old (written in 2020 for 2021), still can give an idea about how the things go:

PS. Impressive run for Checo in FP3, I didn't expect him to surpass Leclerc.

@darxiaomi @rd
Ah, that's a first time I've heard about this budget roof, so F1 also isn't immune to financial caps and regulations. Thought only football was the one playing dirty. So there IS a limit to how much you can spend on repairs caused by a race, yes? And what happens when that budget's hit? They can't repair the car and the team has to retire?

Oh and I think Lewie paid more for being there. Just a guess though.

Looks like there will be a delay in the start of FP3 because of a crash and they need to finish repairing the wall inwhich an incident occurred in F2.

Qualifying later on today so can't wait for that to see who start in pole position for Sunday's race.

In the meantime, F1 has started free practice again. It won't be much different from the previous races. That means it will normally be between Ferrari and Red Bull. I wanted to write between Leclerc and Verstappen, but Perez can also come along nicely and won the last grand prix in Monaco. I think Verstappen has the best papers for the world championship, but there are still a lot of rounds to race. It would be nice for the sport if Leclerc also wins something so that it remains exciting.

This kind a track is an advantege for fast car in long straight then the red bull should be enormously favored.
Ferrari is a car that goes fast on track types where a lot of traction is required in slow corners.

Today we saw some favorable times for ferrari but I think Max and Perez are in hiding.

Verstappen gave a spin and I can say he was lucky that he had a short time in the training laps. Turn 15 of the track is very difficult here, drivers need to be careful, accidents can happen on this track. The riders are having some trouble due to the bounce problem and the wind on the runway.

Ferrari and Redbull teams finished the first training rounds in the top four.

The whole talent of Max comes from him racing to the absolute limits. The whole "if you see an opening and you do not take it, it is time to retire from racing" is still ingrained in his mind. Which means that, if it is going to be a crash, it is going to be a crash, if it is going to be a spin then let it spin. This dude will not refrain from anything, and take all the risks. Do not get me wrong, all the other drivers are still in 300 km per hour machines with barely few things that keeps them safe, in cars that splits in two for safety for real, so they are brave too.

It is just that Max is just a bit more "careless" which makes him that slight split second faster in important places or make him crash.

Well the first two free practice ended, i really i was not expecting such a big difference between top teams and middle teams.

Another bad race ahead for Mercedes seems with the free practice data. Red Bull its really strong , Ferrari again with problems in his engine.

Some news we cant forget its some teams are pushing to elevate the "budget roof" because they have so many spends already do.

One of this teams clearly its HAAS, and with this i remember one comment of mine what say Mick Schumacher needs to stop destroying his car.

I think we cant change the rules in the middle of the season.

Yeah, I heard about teams having troubles with this new budget roof being imposed this season.
And drivers having a low salary cap? Seen something that Max was arguing about this being the case of not the best drivers get paid the way they should.
It all depends on the team that they land with I would imagine.

Who do you think gets paid more for just driving (not including sponsorships and commercial deals) being on which team:
Lewis for Merc, Max for R.B or Leclerc being on team red?
