Lewis Hamilton braced for difficult Canadian GP after losing track position again

Nico Rosberg takes pole position in Montreal; German faster than Mercedes team-mate on both runs during Qualifying Three

Lewis Hamilton has admitted it will be difficult for him to beat Nico Rosberg to victory in the Canadian GP after losing out on pole position to his Mercedes team-mate and World Championship rival.

But ultimately, it was a pair of scruffy mistakes under pressure that proved the Englishman's undoing. "I went wide in Turn Six, I went wide in Turn Eight," Hamilton admitted. "It wasn't a great lap and I should have got a banker in before - a bit like in Monaco." Quite how costly those mistakes may prove to be will be revealed on Sunday.
