    “I’m not here to spin” slams disgruntled Grosjean

    Romain Grosjean was left disgruntled after spinning multiple times during second practice at the Canadian Grand Prix.

    The Haas F1 driver once again aired his displeasure over the radio declaring himself “fed up” after a third spin following two on consecutive laps at the same corner earlier in his run.

    A lack of grip plagued all the drivers on Friday with most also losing control at Turns 1,2,6 or 7 at some point on the very dusty track. For the Frenchman, however, his issues went further.

    “Yes, [I was fed up] because I spun three times without understanding it,” he said. “We saw a lot of spins, but for mine, it was particular things that we’ll sort.

    “Basically it was the brake-by-wire not responding as it should. When you’re going on new tyres and you’re spinning, of course, you’re going ‘what the hell is that?’ because I’m fed up of spinning – I’m not here to spin.

    “But it was three laps out of 40, the rest went pretty well. The tarmac is pretty old as well, so it doesn’t have the grip.”

    Giving his view, Lewis Hamilton believes the different tyres and the nature of the 2017 cars are also making it more tricky.

    “It feels very much the same as the previous years, it’s just faster,” the three-time champion said.

    “But actually the tyres are worse, the car is sliding a lot more.

    “While we have more grip [from aero], the tyres are much harder, maybe too stiff. You see people spinning all over the place today because the grip is quite poor.”
