Hamilton also delivered a positive display at the previous race in Montreal, finishing fourth, one place behind team-mate George Russell, who secured his first podium of the season.

The result provided a rare highlight in what has been a disappointing season for the 39-year-old, who has frequently aired his frustrations regarding the performance of his car.

Hamilton will be seeking a change in fortunes next year as he embarks on a fresh challenge at Ferrari, where he will replace Carlos Sainz.
