Hamilton expressed that he did not feel any improvement in performance when changing between different Pirelli tire compounds, indicating that something is amiss with the car. However, there was a silver lining in their long-run pace, which showed signs of promise.
In an interview with the media after FP2, Hamilton acknowledged the ongoing challenges they face with the car, describing it as tough to drive regardless of the set-up adjustments they make. He noted that there was no noticeable improvement in his single-lap pace with different tire compounds, suggesting that there is room for improvement.
