Lewis Hamilton admits that "it's not always easy when you hear boos"

Lewis Hamilton says that hearing his critics put him down is a source for motivation heading into the French Grand Prix. Fans at the Canadian Grand Prix booed the five-time World Champion but is has not but the Brit down who insists that the boos have "spurred him on." Hamilton will start today's race from pole position as he looks to continue his dominance this season.

"It's not always easy when you hear boos," Hamilton was quoted by Sky Sports F1. "But that's a part of the game and if anything it generally spurs me on."

"I think the weekend started off a little bit different, you know," Hamilton said. "We got through our program, no problem, but if you're used to a normal four-day program and you change it it's not always the easiest.

Hamilton will focus on himself and he and his team will hope that by doing so they will be victorious yet again.
