Montreal – Lewis Hamilton compared Formula 1 car from Ferrari to dance with “someone who has no pace”.
Hamilton qualified fifth at the Canadian Grand Prix when Ferrari failed to disturb the precursors of pole position.
The move of the world champion seven times in the team has been disappointing so far and there is no obvious sign of an imminent turnaround.
“This car … it’s like someone who cannot dance,” joked Hamilton in Canal + Saturday afternoon. “Someone who has no pace, do you know?”
“Trying to bring someone who has no pace to have rhythm, it’s very, very difficult. This is what it does with this car.”
Ferrari entered the season on a wave of enormous optimism and excitement, thanks in part to the arrival of Hamilton, who, according to many, was the missing ingredient necessary to end the drought of the team championship, which dates back to 2008.
Last year, Ferrari took the manufacturers’ championship fight with McLaren over the course and lost only in the final in Abu Dhabi, but the Italian outfit took a clear step this season.
Despite this, the team is still second in the manufacturers’ championship.
Before this weekend, Hamilton passionately defended the boss of the Fred Vasseur team after days of reports in Italy, the French should be dismissed.
Vasseur also placed in the Italian media for these reports, saying that they were weakening Ferrari’s chances of winning a championship in the near future.
Hamilton’s teammate Charles Leclerc qualified eighth.
Leclerc crashed during the first training session on Friday, which excluded it from the second due to the chassis change necessary to repair the car.
