The seven-time World Champion, Lewis Hamilton has hit the ground in Montreal looking dapper as always ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix weekend. Hamilton has won a record seven times at the iconic Gilles Villeneuve racing circuit.

Lewis Hamilton just a while back has been spotted arriving at the paddock entrance wearing a brownish outfit from top to bottom, making heads turn. While he has amassed immense attention since arriving at the paddock, he has had a difficult start to the 2024 season and failed to score a podium or a win in the first eight races.

Lewis Hamilton is set to join Ferrari next year leaving his beloved Mercedes after 11 years in an attempt to fulfil his wish of racing for the Reds. Hamilton has charted a record 83 race wins and a staggering six drivers championships in his time with the Silver Arrows.

As the FP1 session of the Canadian Grand Prix approaches, Mercedes will try to further perfect their upgrades to muster more pace during the race in Montreal. The Brackley-based team had seen subtle signs of improvement in Monaco, which serves as a beacon of hope for them in Canada.

Andrew Shovlin reveals plans to perform in Canada

Mercedes trackside engineering director, Andrew Shovlin has revealed the plans for the silver arrows heading into the Canadian GP. The outfit’s highest finish comes at P5 this season, but the team has witnessed signs of improvement with a new front wing upgrade.

Both drivers will have the new front wing, and there will be some other development items for this event. The new front wing offered a small lap-time gain around the tight streets of the principality, and should offer greater benefit on upcoming circuits.

Mercedes experimented with a new front wing upgrade on the W15 of George Russell during the Monaco GP, which seemed to have worked in the right direction. However, Lewis Hamilton’s car was not on the newer wing, which caused hindrances for the 39-year-old.

The Silver Arrows are now certain that they will use the newer front wing during the Canadian GP in order to maximize their advantage. Both drivers, George Russell, and Lewis Hamilton, will try to push harder around the high-speed straights of Montreal as they look to score the first win of the 2024 season for Mercedes.
