I’m nowhere in this race,” Hamilton admitted mid-race in Montreal after Ferrari revealed he had been carrying car damage since Lap 13.

Lewis Hamilton joked that driving his Ferrari Formula One car is like dancing with "someone that has no rhythm".

Lewis Hamilton opened up on his future with Ferrari amid challenges and revealed his preference for team boss Fred Vasseur.

Lewis Hamilton said he adapted his driving style with a Ferrari car “definitely not suited” for the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Hamilton was able to drive the SF-25 to P5 on the grid for the Canadian Grand Prix – a race he has won a record-equalling seven times – though claimed the Ferrari challenger is “like someone that can’t dance” with “no rhythm”.

Just like Michael Schumacher backed Jean Todt in 1996, Lewis Hamilton is standing firmly behind Fred Vasseur amid growing pressure inside Ferrari.
