Meanwhile, rising star Kimi Antonelli continued his remarkable streak, securing his fourth win in a row this season in Montreal on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>It was a significant day for both drivers, each achieving their goals in different ways.<\/p>\n<p>For Hamilton, this marked his first second-place finish with Ferrari since joining the team, showcasing a strong performance after a tough start. Antonelli&#8217;s victory made history, as the 19-year-old became the first Italian driver since Alberto Ascari in 1952 to win four consecutive Formula One races.<\/p>\n<h3>Antonelli\u2019s Winning Streak<\/h3>\n<p>Antonelli\u2019s win came after a thrilling early battle with his teammate George Russell. The two swapped positions multiple times, including a tense moment on lap 13. Unfortunately, Russell&#8217;s race ended abruptly on lap 30 due to a power issue.<\/p>\n<p>With Russell out of the race, Antonelli took charge and finished with a time of 1:28:15, nearly 11 seconds ahead of Hamilton. Max Verstappen from Red Bull took third place on the podium.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot the way I wanted to win,\u201d said Antonelli, reflecting on the missed showdown with Russell. \u201cBut we\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Mercedes rookie has now won all five races this season and leads the championship with 131 points, significantly ahead of Russell&#8217;s 88 points. Russell expressed frustration over the mechanical failure, stating, \u201cEverything turned off all of a sudden. I\u2019m really frustrated with what happened, but there\u2019s not much I can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Hamilton Finding His Groove<\/h3>\n<p>While Antonelli captured the headlines, Hamilton\u2019s performance provided hope for Ferrari fans. The seven-time world champion explained that behind-the-scenes adjustments, including a new car setup and improved teamwork with his engineers, helped him find his rhythm with the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis weekend, I chose a different setup after going through the data and working closely with my engineer,\u201d Hamilton shared. \u201cI finally felt I could attack all the corners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also thanked Ferrari\u2019s team principal, Fred Vasseur, for supporting the changes he had requested to feel more comfortable. \u201cFred\u2019s been incredible and made it possible for me to perform better,\u201d Hamilton noted.<\/p>\n<p>The result was especially encouraging given Montreal\u2019s focus on straight-line speed, an area where Ferrari has historically struggled. Despite upgrades from rivals like Mercedes, Hamilton believes that Ferrari\u2019s performance bodes well for upcoming races.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsidering this is a circuit that emphasizes straight-line speed, achieving this result gives me high hopes for what\u2019s next,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>In the constructors\u2019 standings, Mercedes is leading with 219 points, while Ferrari has 147. Despite Antonelli&#8217;s ongoing dominance, Hamilton appears to be finding his footing in his new Ferrari colors.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ends &#8211;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamilton Shines in Second Place as Antonelli Claims Fourth Victory Lewis Hamilton celebrated his best performance yet with Ferrari by finishing second at the Canadian Grand Prix.
