Lewis Hamilton has achieved a second place at the Canadian Grand Prix, a result that makes him feel more satisfied than ever with his performance at Ferrari. After an intense race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, where he overtook Max Verstappen in a memorable maneuver on lap 62, Hamilton has been more optimistic than ever about his future with the team.
This season, Hamilton has begun to feel that the pieces of the puzzle are finally fitting together. After a complicated first season with Ferrari in 2025, which required a readjustment during the winter, the British driver now seems to have found the necessary balance with the team.
The introduction of Cedric Michel-Grosjean, a former member of McLaren, as Hamilton’s race engineer is one of the changes that seems to be bearing fruit. Although he will not always be in sync with Hamilton due to external commitments, the collaboration with Carlo Santi has been crucial in improving the driver’s experience on the track. Santi will be the one working with Hamilton at the next Monaco Grand Prix.
Moreover, Hamilton has been able to contribute to the development of the car for the 2026 season, a key aspect he could not do in the previous one. This involvement has allowed him to adapt better to the vehicle and achieve optimal performance. The driver noted that the joint work with his engineer has been exceptional, substantially improving his performance behind the wheel.
After previously qualifying ahead of Charles Leclerc both in the Grand Prix qualifying and in the sprint race, Hamilton has been delighted with the new working dynamic. “I finally have the team of engineers I have been working with for so long,” the driver stated, expressing his gratitude to the team for all the support received.
With this new mindset and improvements in the car, Hamilton hopes his performance will continue to rise, reflecting a new beginning in his career with Ferrari.
