After the Canadian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton says Aston Martin “took a little bit of a step ahead” with their upgrade, but Mercedes is also “working on bringing some more moving forwards”.
After finishing the Canadian Grand Prix in P3, Lewis Hamilton was happy with Mercedes’ progress.
“It’s been a great weekend for us, we are slowly chipping away,“ he said after the race.
“The Astons took a little bit of a step ahead this weekend when they added the upgrade. We are working on bringing some more moving forwards.
“But to have this consistency and be up on the podium in Montreal, which is such an incredible city, and we get such a great crowd here every year without fail.”
Lewis then said Mercedes is going in a right development direction.

“Firstly, it’s quite an honour to be up there with two world champions. I was really excited to be third and be in that mix.
“Unfortunately we didn’t have the pace today. We knew this weekend it wouldn’t be our strongest circuit because we struggle in the slower corners, particularly.
“That was where I was losing to Fernando and Max – just on traction out of pretty much every corner
“We just need to add more rear downforce in the car and a little bit more efficiency.
“I do believe we will get there but our pace was a little bit closer today so we are going in the right direction,” Hamilton concluded.
