Lewis Hamilton is not happy with the changes made at Eau Rouge. The Briton believes it is a lot bumpier than previous years. He also has doubts about his setup for the race in view of rain showers in the rest of the weekend.
"It's very bumpy through Eau Rouge now. Something happened and they screwed it up a little bit. I don't know. There's a new piece of tarmac and a bump right at the compression point. They've never had that before. You can feel it well at the back," Hamilton complained to Sky Sports F1.

More or less downforce?

It remains to be seen what the right setup is going to be for the rest of the weekend, Hamilton also knows. "Everyone keeps telling us different things. If it rains you generally want more downforce, but if it doesn't rain you're stuck and you're a sitting duck on the straights," the Mercedes driver concludes.
