Lewis Hamilton is feeling optimistic after qualifying fifth for the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix, noting he’s made progress with Ferrari but still faces challenges with the car. Despite taking fifth place in Q3, Hamilton was 0.627s behind pole position claimed by Mercedes’ George Russell, ahead of Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc for a second consecutive race. Hamilton admitted to feeling pressure to advance to Q3 but ultimately had a cleaner qualifying session. He attributed the small step forward to adjustments in his driving style, noting the car’s struggles in low-speed corners at the circuit. While hopeful for a strong race pace, Hamilton acknowledges the car’s baseline is currently far inferior to rivals, emphasizing the need for upgrades to compete at the front.
