Although he was narrowly pipped to the top time in FP2 on day one of the British Grand Prix weekend, Lewis Hamilton slammed the condition of the resurfaced Silverstone track which he said was bumpier than the Nurburgring-Nordschleife.
Speaking to journalists at the end of the day, Hamilton asked, "Do you want the good or the bad?"
And continued, "The good is that the weather is fantastic and the crowd was amazing today. It has a fantastic atmosphere and great fun to drive on this track because it's so fast, the fastest it has ever been."
"We're flat out through Copse, through Turn 1, through Turn 2 with the DRS and its insane how fast it is. It is the best track in the world - the faster it gets, the better it gets. It's got to be the best track in the world, it's really ridiculous - it's flying a fighter jet around the track."
"The bad is that, one, I always think countries seem to waste money when they resurface the tracks. They wasted money which they could have gone to better use. And, two, the people they hired did the worst job ever."
"I mean, it's the bumpiest track I've ever experienced, it's bumpier than the Nordschleiffe, which is 100 years old. It's rattling your freakin' eyeballs from your brain - you can't see where you're going."
"In the straights and some of the corners but it's so insane how bumpy it is. It's so quick its like duh-duh-duh-duh. I said to the team: I'm not going to talk on the radio because people I'm taking something or just take the mic, you know?"
"Apart from that it's fantastic but jeez, they need to hire someone better, because I don't know how you could make such a bad job in layering the track<" added Hamilton who topped FP1 and was second in FP2 in his quest to make history and win his sixth British Grand Prix on Sunday.
