An upbeat Lewis Hamilton demonstrated his undimmed vim and speed on Friday when he led George Russell in a Mercedes one-two in a truncated and interrupted day's practice at the Canadian Grand Prix.The seven-time world champion topped the times in a best lap of 1:13.718 seconds to beat his teammate by 0.027 seconds, the duo making the most of the best track conditions before heavy rain curtailed the action at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve."That was probably the bumpiest circuit we've been on for a long time," Hamilton said. "And it was such a strange day.
We missed the first session because of an issue with the circuit's CCTV or something, and I felt bad for the fans."The city here is really pumping, and there were so many people out there, but I am glad we did finally get out, and it was good to have an hour and a half even if we did not use all that time optimally."But this track.
I love this place. This track is mega. From the moment you leave the pitlane - it's wicked. My car was not the greatest, but not the worst by far and massively better than last year."It's just so bumpy.
We have to improve the ride control and balance in the corners, and we should be all right."??
