Unwanted first for Lewis Hamilton as incredible F1 podium run ends
Lewis Hamilton’s streak of scoring a podium finish in the first 10 races of an F1 season has come to an end, with his first time without a podium in his career occurring at the Canadian Grand Prix. Despite this setback, he remains the only McLaren driver to have had nine consecutive F1 podiums, a record still intact. Hamilton’s disappointment in Canada was compounded by hitting a groundhog during the race, affecting his race performance and ultimately leading to a sixth-place finish. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has been a historically successful track for Hamilton, where he secured his first F1 victory in 2007, but the recent race saw him facing challenges such as a loss of downforce and a brake issue. Despite these setbacks, Hamilton expressed gratitude for finishing the race and earning crucial points for the championship.
