Mercedes have launched a second investigation into why their drivers have suffered from such poor starts this season, particularly Lewis Hamilton, after Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was able to jump both Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in Canada.
Vettel, third on the grid, stormed to the front of the field, whilst Hamilton's poor start from pole position allowed Rosberg – who also got a slow getaway – to draw alongside from second place.
It certainly isn't the first time this season it's happened, with Mercedes previously investigating the problem after the Bahrain Grand Prix earlier in the year when Hamilton dropped back several positions.
Speaking after the most recent Canadian GP – which Hamilton won despite his slow start – the Briton insisted finding a solution is now Mercedes utmost priority.
"I don’t understand it," said Hamilton. "This time I really don’t understand because practices have been good, the formation lap was amazing, dropped the clutch and the thing pulled away perfectly.
"[Then] I stopped, did the normal procedure, let the clutch out and it just didn’t go anywhere.
"They're going to investigate and try to understand why," he added. "They don't quite understand it, so we're going to work on it.
"It's a priority for Nico as well, when we talk about priorities of things we can work on."
