'A bit sore' - Lewis Hamilton continues to have bouncing issues in his Mercedes at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton says he was left «a bit sore» after he was bouncing on the straights in practice at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku on Friday. Bouncing has been a problem for most teams on the F1 circuit this year after rules were introduced before the start of the 2022 season to make for closer races and easier overtaking.
