Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton claimed that he experienced bouncing before going off in Turn 19 on lap two of the US Grand Prix on Sunday. The seven-time world champion made an excellent start after starting the race from P18 as he gained six places on the opening lap at the Circuit of the Americas.
However, Hamilton failed to capitalize on a storming start as he spun at Turn 19 while encountering an understeer moment, similar to his teammate George Russell's crash in qualifying a day before.
It was a bizarre incident given Hamilton does not spin often and had done so twice during the last weekend with his high-speed spin at Turn 3 during the only practice session. Speaking via SB Nation, Lewis Hamilton discussed his early end to the race and pointed towards the issues with the car being the reason behind his crash.
