Lewis Hamilton says that he did all he could on the way to his third-place finish at the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday.

Mercedes racer Lewis Hamilton has expressed his delight with his car after finishing third at the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday.

The 28-year-old was second in Montreal until being overtaken late on by Ferrari's Fernando Alonso on the 63rd lap.

Despite this, Hamilton believes that he could not have put in a much better performance.

"The car felt fantastic today and I had good grip for the low-speed corners but we just weren't quite on the pace of Seb and Fernando," Hamilton told BBC Sport.

"I was on the maximum that I could possibly drive and we got absolutely everything out of the car today. Being hunted down by Fernando is like being chased down by a bull."

The podium finish was Hamilton's third of the season.
