Lewis Hamilton finds his groove with a stunning podium in Canada

It is finally clicking for Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari. After a frustrating inaugural year with the Italian marque where he finished 86 points behind teammate Charles Leclerc and missed the podium entirely for 24 events, the Briton has officially arrived in this new era of regulations. His second-place finish at the Canadian Grand Prix wasn't just a result; it was a statement.

Following a scrap with Max Verstappen, Hamilton was visibly relieved. He spoke about the immense internal effort, noting that the team has been “moving mountains in the background” to get him to this point. By ditching the simulator and leaning into a new set-up with his 2026 Race Engineer, Carlos Santi, and the support of Fred Vasseur, Hamilton finally looked like the driver we all know. He is currently fourth in the standings with 72 points, proving that the hard work at the Maranello factory is paying off.
