Mercedes needs to 'take our eye a little bit off the ball' and focus on next year's F1 car if it wants to catch Red Bull, according to Hamilton.
Hamilton completed the podium, but a strong initial launch meant he temporarily jumped Alonso to follow Verstappen. Thedriver then noted the strength of the rear axle of the RB19 and how he fell back to the Red Bull through major acceleration zones.
He said:"It's been a great weekend. Very difficult with the conditions but loving being in the car now with the car in a better window and a bit more on the right track. "We were also running fourth in Monaco, so we're definitely getting closer. And it's going to be a battle of development over the rest of the season.

F1 Canadian GP live updatesHello from Montreal and bienvenu to The Athletic’s live coverage of the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen notched yet another win for Red Bull in an utterly dominant season.Following a wet and wild Friday and Saturday at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, we got the show we expected at the front, where Verstappen capitalized on his pole position start but didn’t produce quite the kind of lead he’s posted at previous races, finishing a comparatively measly 9.5 seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso. Given his difficulty getting his tires into the desired tire temperature, Verstappen described the GP as 'not a very straightforward race,' a funny term considering he held his lead from lights out to checkered flag. Behind Verstappen, we got a proper battle between Alonso and Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes, with Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz just off the podium. Sergio Pérez did well to finish P6 after starting P12, but didn’t produce the sort of fightback that his teammate has delivered when starting far back.George Russell — whose too close encounter with the wall triggered an early safety car — made the most of his new front wing, fighting back from last to P8, only for a brake issue to force his eventual retirement.Provisional finishing order:Max Verstappen (Red Bull)Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)Carlos Sainz (Ferrari)Sergio Pérez (Red Bull)Alex Albon (Williams)Esteban Ocon (Alpine)Lance Stroll (Aston Martin)Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo)Oscar Piastri (McLaren)Pierre Gasly (Alpine)Lando Norris (McLaren)Yuki Tsunoda (AlphaTauri)Nico Hülkenberg (Haas)Zhou Guanyu (Alfa Romeo)Kevin Magnussen (Haas)Nyck de Vries (AlphaTauri)DNF: George Russel (Mercedes)DNF: Logan Sargeant (Williams)(Photo: Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
