Hamilton outqualifies Leclerc twice at Canadian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton outperformed his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc in both qualifying sessions at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. The seven-time world champion used a new simulator-free preparation method that appears to have paid off.

Hamilton beat Leclerc by 0.084 seconds in the sprint qualifying and by 0.108 seconds in the main session. He was faster across all six qualifying segments this weekend at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. This result reverses a 27-9 head-to-head advantage Leclerc held over Hamilton since the Briton joined Ferrari earlier in the season.
