Six pole positions, seven wins, ten podiums in total… These are Lewis Hamilton's statistics in Montreal, on the sidelines of the Canadian Grand Prix. F1While several tracks are among his favorites, the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit is indeed one of those on which the seven-time world champion feels most comfortable.
In terms of statistics, this ease is evident. In qualifying, for example, Lewis Hamilton He has only been surpassed three times by his various teammates in his 18-year career and 16 participations so far. Nico Rosberg in 2014, Valtteri Bottas in 2018, and George Russell in 2024, the list stops here for the one who has therefore won his head-to-head 13 times in the exercise.
Hamilton also outmaneuvered his teammates in the Canadian Grand Prix
Although his last participation resulted in a lackluster sixth place, leaving him some 7 seconds behind Charles Leclerc At the finish of the Grand Prix, this occurrence is quite rare in his career. Indeed, Lewis Hamilton has crossed the finish line ahead of his teammate 10 times, including seven overall victories.
Besides 2025, George Russell had surpassed him in 2024, just six years after Valtteri Bottas in 2018. In 2011, Jenson Button – the Grand Prix winner – also achieved a better result than the young world champion. Finally, it's worth noting that in 2008, Heikki Kovalainen took advantage of a retirement by the Briton to beat him technically, as did Nico Rosberg in 2014.
So, although Lewis Hamilton no longer possesses the same brilliance as in his prime years Mercedes Benz In particular, it seems that Ferrari's promising start to the season, combined with the expected upgrades this weekend, could allow his camp to hope for another strong result from him. While Charles Leclerc has only made it to Q3 twice in Montreal, out of six total starts, the fact remains that the balance currently tips clearly in favor of the British team. Team as it stands…

Good old Lewis, he still believes! I saw his declaration on RTB this morning that he'd be in F1 for a long time yet... But Lewis, what about the young guys who are better than you? Everyone has their time in life, and I highly doubt the boss at Ferrari is going to keep you on... for nothing (the only times you've been ahead of Charles were because of mechanical problems!). So you're costing a fortune... for nothing! You have to be either incredibly rich and not mindful of your money, or incredibly stupid!
