Former racer Formula 1 namely, he believes that the real potential of the car W13 located entirely in the background of problems with porpoising, which Mercedes is still facing.
"Yes, they are almost a second behind the best, but that's because they can't lower the car low enough. This is due to porpoising,”Is Hill stated in the podcast F1Nation. Once they fix that, Hill expects to see exponential growth in terms of the vacuum of the Mercedes race car. In doing so, he refers to the data from the wind tunnel that are supposed to be sensational. That the W13 still has a lot to do "construction site“, Can be inferred to a lesser extent from words Tota Wolff, which marked the race car as not driven and that he is not worthy of a world champion.
The fact that it is George Russell managed to achieve a decent result with the same car, Hill he tries to explain in his own way. “I think Lewis had a bit of a pitch. I think he was happy to play a guy who is testing experimental settings for Mercedes because he has more experience with that.”So I think so Russell in his first days on the team he did not humiliate in any way Hamilton, as some argue. Hill stresses that he has to prove himself right now, but wonders how a dogo he will be able to stay ahead of Hamilton. "He did a good job, but whether he will be able to keep that all season if Lewis finds what he needs from the race car remains to be seen."
