Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin has warned Lewis Hamilton that he could be as low as 10th at the Canadian Grand Prix despite the team’s promising result in Barcelona last time out. The Spanish Grand Prix was the first real opportunity for Mercedes to showcase their major upgrades as their car was limited in Monaco. Speaking after the race, Hamilton was buoyed by the direction the team were heading in with hope of battling for victories by the end of the year. But that progress may be stunted next time out in Montreal with Shovlin warning that the slow conditions at the Canadian Grand Prix won’t favour their car design. “The fact is that the update kit works very well around circuits like Barcelona with a lot of high-speed performance,” Shovlin said on Mercedes’ YouTube channel.
