Following a difficult Miami Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton plans to change his strategy for the upcoming Canadian race. The seven-time world champion expressed his intention to modify their preparation method, stating that the current approach is not yielding the desired results.
During the Miami weekend, Hamilton struggled with pace and was involved in first-lap contact that damaged his Ferrari. This incident left him in "no man's land" and ultimately contributed to a seventh-place finish, upgraded to sixth after a penalty for teammate Charles Leclerc.
Hamilton, now fifth in the championship standings, emphasized that the Miami weekend would not be a defining moment for his team. He aims to learn from the experience and move forward, with renewed focus on the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, a circuit holding significant personal history for him.
He acknowledged the team's hard work but expressed disappointment with the low points haul, particularly given the damage sustained during the race. Hamilton detailed how a necessary evasive maneuver to avoid another car led to contact with Franco Colapinto, resulting in a significant performance loss.
Despite the setbacks, Hamilton remains focused on future races, indicating that adjustments will be made to improve performance. He is currently eight points behind Leclerc and 49 points adrift of championship leader Kimi Antonelli.
