Hamilton: “A nice slap to Ferrari”

Lewis Hamilton found his smile again by winning his 6th victory at the Canadian GP (the 56th of his career) after being untouchable in the race. If Mercedes achieved his first double of the season with second place in Valtteri Bottas, Team Ferrari was more struggling since Sebastian Vettel was only able to salvage a 4th place after having to pit to change his front wing in the first laps.

“Everyone was racking their brains after Monaco to do the best job possible, comments Lewis Hamilton. I have never seen such a joint effort in five seasons with this team to understand the car. This performance is a great slap in the face to Ferrari. »

Lewis Hamilton returns to 12 points behind Sebastian Vettel while Mercedes regains the advantage over Scuderia Ferrari by 8 points.

“The car is now where it should be, although that doesn’t mean it will be the case every time, specifies Lewis Hamilton. Even though it would have been nice to win in Monaco, I'm happy that we got through this stage so early in the season. That should help us move forward. »
