After Canadian Grand Prix FP1&2, Lewis Hamilton says he feels “confident out there and that the car is reacting to my inputs”.
After Canadian Grand Prix free practice sessions, Lewis Hamilton was fairly optimistic about his car’s performance.
“The car felt strong throughout and I didn’t even get to finish what would have been my fastest lap,” the Briton said.
“This is one of the best circuits we go to, so I really enjoyed myself out there. Recently, Saturdays have proven more challenging for us, but I feel confident out there and that the car is reacting to my inputs.
“Ultimately, we won’t know until [qualifying] just where we are in the order but it was a really good day overall.”

Although the first practice session was hit by bad weather, Lewis says he was eager to get out on the track.
“It felt great out there, I was raring to go throughout no matter what the conditions.
“I was pleased that we were able to maximise our time on track as that is what is needed around a circuit like this. It’s all about building your pace.
“It was also about understanding the conditions plus the new surface they’ve laid.”
