Hamilton warns Red Bull and Aston Martin: 'More upgrades coming'

Lewis Hamilton stayed in his qualifying position as he finishes in third place at the Canadian Grand Prix after battling with Fernando Alonso throughout the race for second place.

The British driver, who won his first-ever Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve back in 2007, drove a clean and calculated race to secure a second podium in a row.

Hamilton was able to jump Alonso at the beginning of the race but could not hold onto that position as the Spaniard showed the Aston Martin’s pace during the first stint. Hamilton did make a charge on Alonso during the second stint but just could not get close enough to challenge his former teammate.

Hamilton was asked what needs to change on his W14 to improve their speed and to challenge the Aston Martin’s, to which he said, “I was excited to be third and try to be in the mix. But we didn't have the pace today. We knew this wouldn't be our strongest circuit with the lower speed corners, which is where I was losing to Fernando and Max, traction out of turn two and pretty much every corner. We have work to do to add rear downforce. Max is a little bit gone, but I think our pace was closer today."
