Lewis Hamilton says stepping away from Ferrari’s simulator and focusing on fitness and data analysis helped deliver his strongest qualifying performance of the 2026 F1 season at the Canadian Grand Prix.

"The whole race, 70 laps, I thought the engine was going to blow up. It's gone a long way this season."
Lewis Hamilton is raring to go.
Hamilton's win cut championship leader and four-time champion Sebastian Vettel's advantage to 12 points.
