Hamilton finished 13th in last Sunday\u2019s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola.<\/p>\n<p>Shovlin said in a debrief on the team\u2019s YouTube channel that the problem posed new engineering challenges that Mercedes needed to understand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully soon, maybe as soon as Miami, we can start to bring some parts to the car that will hopefully give us an indication on whether we are moving in the right direction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not expecting to solve this overnight, but if we can get a clue that we are going in the right direction, that we really got to the bottom of what is going on, then we will be quite pleased that we are just moving on the right path.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bouncing problem has forced the team, now third in the standings, to run their car higher than planned which affects aerodynamic performance. Shovlin said a lot of the work being done at the factory was to understand the phenomenon and see whether there was an aerodynamic solution to make it go away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing realistic, we think this will be something we approach in steps rather than one big moment where the whole thing vanishes,\u201d he added. \u201cBut we are seeing encouraging signs&#8230; we are hoping to bring parts to the car soon, maybe even Miami where we can hopefully see progress on this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
