Hamilton believes Mercedes will be 'a bit more cautious' with F1 set-up experiments from now to avoid hampering his race weekends too much.
In a bid to try and unlock more performance amid the porpoising and bouncing issue that has blighted its W13 car so far this season,has opted for a number of set-up experiments during practice at the opening nine grands prix.
Hamilton has often taken the lead on Mercedes’ set-up experiments this year due to his greater experience compared to new teammateHamilton revealed on Friday morning in Canada that he was set to run “something relatively extreme” in practice as part of his experimental role, but later said it was a “disaster”. The seven-time world champion ultimately finished Sunday’s race in third place, matching his best result of the 2022 season so far.
Asked by Motorsport.com about his “guinea pig” role so far this year, Hamilton joked that “maybe in the second half of the season, George can do the experiments!” But he hoped the experiments would become more cautious from now on to avoid hindering his race weekend too much, despite the progress the team is still looking to make.
“Moving forward, I think we'll be a little bit more cautious on doing too many experiments as it really does hinder you through the weekend, especially if you only have practice one and two in the dry and don't get a FP3, for example,” Hamilton said after the race in Canada.
