Hamilton hoping for better race after "messy" qualifying

Lewis Hamilton has been dominant in Canada in the past but the Brit couldn't quite put his stamp on the qualifying this year, as he only finished fourth.

Hamilton was hoping to conquer a record seventh pole position in Montréal, but he'll have to do with a spot on the second row of the grid behind Max Verstappen.

The four-time champion singles out a single corner as the main cause for his lack of pace.

"On Friday the car balance was great into [Turn] 10," he explained to Sky Sports F1.

Still, Hamilton fancies his chances for the race on Sunday.
