Lewis Hamilton is finally getting results that will give him some confidence. The world champion started the season extremely poorly according to his high standards. The aim for this season would’ve been another charge for the championship, but that ship might have sailed.

However, after struggling with the bouncing of the W13 most of the season, the races in Baku, Barcelona and now Montreal will bring back some positivity in Hamilton’s life. And the result from these races will definitely help the team understand their strengths. The result of the Canadian GP is a motivating one for the entire Mercedes paddock.

After the race, George Russell showcased that motivation through his Twitter post as well. The young Mercedes Brit shared a photo with the caption, “Good weekend that! Closer to the front on pace and another podium for the team. Congrats to LH on the P3. Home race up next.”

Russell has been impressive so far as a Mercedes driver by putting up consistent performances and being a team player. Russell showcased exactly that while congratulating Hamilton and celebrating a podium for the team.

Now, the first home race for his new team is an exciting prospect for Russell. And hopefully, both Hamilton and Russell can get excellent results with a much-improved W13. Hamilton has an exceptional record at Silverstone and the world champion would want to build on that record at the coming British GP.
