MOSCOW, June 18 Seven-time Formula 1 champion British Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes said after Friday's practice at the Canadian Grand Prix that the changes made to the car do not work. On Sunday, Hamilton took fourth place at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which took place on the streets of Baku. Over the weekend, he and his teammate, Briton George Russell, complained about the «dolphin» effect of the car bouncing at high speed on the straights, where the high downforce under the bottom causes airflow to drop, causing the car to lose downforce, and then is picking up again. The International Automobile Federation (FIA) later issued a directive allowing teams to make changes to the car to combat this effect. «Nothing we do seems to work. We try different settings. Me and George tried different settings in the second session to see which one works. I'm waiting for his feedback, but for me it was a disaster. As if the car is only getting worse. The more we work with it, the less balanced it becomes. But we will continue to work, «Sky quotes Hamilton Sports. The third free practice and qualifying rounds will take place on Saturday. The race will take place on June 19th.
