168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton was happy with the handlin𝔉g of his Mercedes W15 duri♕ng Friday practice for the Canadian Grand Prix, stating “the car felt strong”.

Both practice sess♌ions at th♓e Circuit Gilles Villeneuve were interrupted by wet weather, meaning none of the teams got any substantial running on dry tyres.

The majority of the laps in FP2 were done on a damp track as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso set the pace ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

Hamilton was fourth in the morning session before setting the seventh-fastest time in FP2 after encou🌱ntering traffic on a lap whi𒁃ch would have propelled him up the order.

Hamilton haꦉs enjoyed great success in Canada over the years, taking seven victories.

Despite a tricky Friday in terms of track con⛄ditions, Hamilton was feeling “conf🐽ident” in the car.

“The car felt stron🍬g throughout and I didn't even get to finish what would have b🧔een my fastest lap,” Hamilton said.

“This i🔯s 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.”

Wet weather is expected to be a factor for the remainder of the we🌌ekend.

That could be welcome news for Hamilton given he qualified on the front row in the China sprint race in changeable conditions before finishing se🔜cond in the actual event.

“It felt great out there, I 🍨was raring to go thro🙈ughout no matter what the conditions,” he added.

“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 buildi🌳ng your pace.

“It was also about understanꦡding the conditions plus the new surface they've laid.”
