The Ferrari driver achieved his best result with the Italian team by finishing in second place in Montreal. And just like in Australia and China – the latter also securing a top-3 – the Brit was accompanied by his mother during the weekend – normally, Carmen only watches the British GP in Silverstone ‘in person’.
After the F1 race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Hamilton stated: he needs to take her to more races on the calendar. “It was a very nice weekend. I rented an apartment here and my mother stayed with me. So, every night we had dinner together and watched a movie or just talked. It was amazing,” he said.
