Expectations for Montreal
The Canadian Grand Prix has always brought good luck to Lewis Hamiltongiven that the English champion can boast well six pole positions and seven successes on the track located on Notre-Dame Island. And even in the last two seasons, with a Mercedes certainly not up to the winning ones of previous years, he was able to bring home two good third places.
The seven-time world champion hopes that his team can take a step forward and be more competitive compared to recent appearances: “We are growing and I’m proud of how we’re working in the factory, with great concentration and I hope we can get even closer to others. The car is now more stable in corners and we can take them more easily. But the balance is not yet optimal, it is an almost city track which is suitable for those with an aggressive style”.
The immediate and near future
There will be an update expected on both W15s, in addition to the front wing fitted by Russell in Monaco which will also be available for Hamilton: “I will try to stay ahead of him in qualifying“, the 39-year-old British man replied with a smile in the press room to journalists who grilled him about his recent cryptic words to the media.
Final line relating to future transfer to Ferrarimade official more than four months ago and which will have to wait another eight months before seeing it in the red car: “The relationship with Vasseur, but also the relationship with Elkann – with whom I often talk – led me to choose Ferrari”explained Hamilton on Thursday in Montreal.
