Lewis Hamilton has waved off the notion he needs a strong result at the Canadian Grand Prix amid a difficult start to life in F1 with Ferrari.
Lewis Hamilton dismissed the notion of needing a standout performance in F1 at the Canadian Grand Prix, stating he is not desperate for one. Despite a disappointing start at Ferrari, Hamilton has shown glimpses of promise, including a win in China’s sprint race. He currently sits sixth in the drivers’ standings, trailing his teammate Charles Leclerc by 23 points. Ferrari’s significant deficit in the constructors’ championship has tempered the high expectations surrounding Hamilton’s move to the team. Hamilton, a seven-time F1 champion with seven Montreal wins, believes things may appear bleaker from the outside looking in. Overall, while a strong showing is always welcomed, he does not feel an urgent need to prove himself at this stage of the season.
