Hamilton smiles again at the Canadian GP

If the pilots Mercedes insist that the episode of the Monaco Grand Prix is ​​behind them, the rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg remains at his peak since the title seems to be decided between the two residents of the Brackley stable. If the German has regained the lead of the Championship, the 2008 world champion seems far from being defeated. With three successes won on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit (2007, 2010 and 2012) and three poles (2007, 2008 and 2010), the Briton can reasonably hope for a good result on a track which should be particularly favorable to the Silver Arrows. “Some circuits are better than others. I really like coming to Canada, it’s one of the most beautiful Grands Prix of the year and it’s very nice to ride here.”, commented Lewis Hamilton.

If the Briton cannot rule out a return to the favor of the competition, he nevertheless displays particularly solid confidence. “I don’t think that will be the case.”, replied the three-time winner of the event to questions from the press. “We are particularly competitive on the straights. I can't know but we might have some surprises this weekend even if we perform very well in this configuration. Our engine develops very good power, Mercedes has done the best job in the engine part. Renault et Ferrari will have to do exceptional work this weekend, at least in this sector, in order to follow us on the straights. »
