Lewis Hamilton Left in Awe as Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc Dominates the Track Once Again
In a shocking turn of events at the Canadian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was left amazed by the stellar performance of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Hamilton, who has been struggling to match Leclerc’s pace in qualifying sessions, finally saw a glimmer of hope as he out-qualified his teammate for the third time in grands prix. This marked a significant improvement for Hamilton, especially after securing fifth place compared to Leclerc’s eighth in the recent race.
The seven-time champion managed to clinch a 0.156s advantage over Leclerc, his best performance against the formidable driver this season. Despite Leclerc leading with a 7-3 record in grand prix qualifyings and an 8-4 total score including Sprints, Hamilton’s recent achievement is not to be underestimated. With Leclerc typically holding an average 0.195s advantage over Hamilton in grands prix, this gap narrows to 0.163s when accounting for the Sprint races.
Hamilton, known for his exceptional race pace rather than single lap speed, expressed satisfaction with his qualifying performance in Montreal. However, his hopes for a strong race were dashed by unexpected challenges during the competition. Reflecting on the race, Hamilton shared, “My qualifying was better, and I was holding on [to the cars ahead] until the damage. I was sort of holding onto Piastri, and then with the damage, started to drop off.”
Despite the setbacks, Hamilton remained optimistic about the outcome, noting, “To come away with fifth and sixth, it is a positive. If everything was perfect, if we had done everything right and didn’t have any problems, maybe we would have been fourth, but then I hit the groundhog.”
As the racing world buzzes with excitement over the recent grand prix, fans and experts alike are eagerly anticipating the next showdown between Hamilton and Leclerc. With tensions rising and competition heating up, the stage is set for an electrifying battle on the tracks.
Stay tuned for more thrilling updates from the world of Formula 1 as the rivalry between Hamilton and Leclerc reaches new heights.
