it depends where you have the downforce. some cars have their downforce very low, some gain more at higher ride heights. for example, last year, we were very low and stiff but we were bouncing. this year we generate more downforce at higher ride height, so we actually go for a higher. there are some where you have lower speed corners, sometimes it does perform better when it's a bit lower.

if you look at our on board footage, look at charles and i, we have thee worst ride, probably of everyone. so the ferraris and us, our heads are bumping around quite a lot. that's the rear just jumping up and down. also we're riding over these kerbs but others are also doing those things. but if you look at, for example, max’s head is like much much smoother through the ride phase so they have much better ride than us.

one millimeter was not a performance factor, whether we did what we did. it wasn't like the floor bowing and giving us extra downforce or anything like that. it was terrible over the kerbs and if we had raised the car a millimeter or half a millimeter, whatever it failed by, it wouldn't have made a difference, except for we would have passed the test. - LH

Lewis Hamilton full quote on Helmet Marko’s comments towards Checo | SkySports

“It's completely unacceptable what he said. Whilst we say there is no room for any type of discrimination within this sport which there should be - no room for it - to have leaders and people in his position making comments like this is not good for us moving forwards.”

Lewis on his contract renewal | 31.08.23

“There are times where you're like: “Jeez maybe I just want to go and chill on the beach and just live a normal life’ but that's never gonna be me. I don’t think. Being as competitive as I am. I still have that competitive fight within me. I still hate losing like ever before; like when I was a kid. Even when it’s to my nephew playing chess. And I love getting into the car and strap me up and then getting out there on track and trying to put on the edge. I’m willing to commit the time that it takes to be great and I’m gonna keep it going.”

“I’m praying everyday that we will close the gap [to Red Bull]. I want to be fighting for the championship, I want to be fighting Max. I believe I’m one of the only drivers that can do so. But we gotta have the package.”
