Lewis Hamilton looked strong all through the weekend in Canada but couldn’t muster a strong qualifying result on Saturday
Lewis Hamilton expressed confidence that he could have secured a top-three result in qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix if not for a mistake on his final lap. Despite outpacing his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc, Hamilton had to settle for fifth on the grid as he made an error on his final Q3 run at Turn 7. Acknowledging Ferrari’s progress, Hamilton believed a top-three finish was within reach and praised the team’s development. Despite Ferrari slipping behind McLaren, Hamilton noted the team’s deficit in power to Mercedes and highlighted the need for improvements to challenge for wins. He remains hopeful that Ferrari can close the gap by gaining speed through corners and continuing to develop the car throughout the season.
