Martin Brundle highlighted that Lewis Hamilton had a successful weekend in Montreal, despite making small mistakes. After a difficult time in the previous event, the seven-time world champion managed to secure fourth place after a fierce battle with other competitors. Despite facing difficulties in qualifying, Hamilton showed determination and performed well in the race.
F1 presenter Brundle explained that at the start of the race, Hamilton was driving at a fast pace and making progress, catching up to the leaders. Although the 39-year-old finished fourth, he considered it one of the least impressive races of his career.
Brundle disagreed with Hamilton’s statement, noting that the British driver made minor errors throughout the race. However, he noted that overall Hamilton had a positive performance as a seven-time champion.
Brundle also mentioned the emergence of young talent in the sport, such as Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. These drivers have demonstrated great speed, bravery and significant racing experience. Hamilton needs to give his best performance and show his abilities to compete with or surpass them.
The 65-year-old commentator noted that when Mercedes switched to dry tires during the race, his car showed impressive speed on the track. This indicated that Mercedes had the potential to win the race based on its pace. Hamilton managed to secure third position for the team by taking advantage of this opportunity.
Another important point is that once on dry tires, Mercedes had the faster car and could have won the race based on its speed alone.
A Mercedes made significant improvements to the performance of the car and the driver, introducing the necessary updates. They are now preparing for the next racing event in Barcelona, where fans hope to see Hamilton on the podium.
