Hamilton: We are behind Mercedes in speed on the straights.
In Montreal, Lewis Hamilton confidently leads Charles Leclerc but is dissatisfied with the speed deficit on the straight...
Lewis Hamilton (5th): "Our guys at the base did an excellent job with the car, it's magnificent, but throughout the season we will have to fight for its improvement. Reliability is at a high level, but when you lack speed on the straight, it becomes difficult to compete with Mercedes."
Charles Leclerc (8th): "In the first and second parts of qualifying, I had to slow down on the out lap. It turned out to be incredibly difficult to find the optimal tire working mode. Throughout qualifying, it was sliding as if I were driving on ice. I hoped that after resolving yesterday's brake issues, I would be able to feel the previous confidence in the car, but in the first and second parts of qualifying, I showed extremely unstable results. I only managed to complete a normal lap in the final, but eighth place is not quite acceptable."
