2024 Canadian Grand Prix - Montreal, June 07 - 09

[Luscion]

Good thing is the car is good. Lewis still has a chance to win. Do not discount him..

I think a win is gonna be very hard unless we get rain, i think a podium might be possible? who knows really

[TeamKoolGreen]

The qualifying was so good , almost everyone forgot about Perez. Shame on you Red Bull for signing him to a new contract. It isn't Perez's fault. Its your fault.

Russell tow was worth 2 tenths on his used tyre run.

This race usually throws up safety cars.
Drivers will crash anywhere after turn 2. No question about it.
Anyone outside of the top 4 should start on Hard tyres and wait on the rain to come.

Well done to Russel for beating his team mate to pole.

Well done? You make it sound like it was a big achievement

A few days ago I was watching an sport´s show on Italian tv and the commentators were debating whether it would be possible for Ferrari to "cancel" the contract with the GOAT and keep Sainz, instead.

Vasseur just interjected and told Villaneuve "well you're often wrong..." Lololol. Something he isn't told enough

I would like to see that BTW, no one can disagree with you

I wasn’t expecting Ferrari to get it wrong here. Quite surprising, seems they this time suffered most from everyone more or less having no real fp1 and 2.

With Villeneuve I think he himself knows. He is a guy that wants to make catchy statements. Overdone, yes. Often a core of truth, willing (eager even) to say things that are a bit painful. Yes. I guess we also need a few guys like that.

Q3 Merc…an omen for Ferrari 2025.

How the hell did Max keep up with that? Looking forward to the telemetry. RedBull might just heat up it's tyres properly in the race and normal service will resume.

[Watto]

No penalty for Max

No penalty for Max

Rightly so ..

I had predicted this S1 dominance by Max before the weekend began.

Expecting Redbull to do well in S1 where the rapid change of direction through 3-4-5-6 will matter.
Expecting Ferrari to dominate S2 and S3 where lots of kerbs and chicanes are present.
Expecting McLaren to be the runner up in all sectors.

Expecting Max and LeClerc to truly show their exceptional skill transitioning from the start-finish straight into a style of T1 such that they then blend into an 'efficient' T2.

Any of VER/LEC/NOR to win.

When I look up F1-tempo.com , comparing the fastest RUS lap (warmer track Q2) and the fastest VER lap (colder track Q3) , the gain by VER is around 0.18 through S1. It's down to his exceptional talent to not sacrifice too much in entry and yet gain well in exit of corners, whilst also preserving his tyres better. This will not show up as 'better minimal speed' through a corner (in fact it will often be lower minimal speed than his competitor) , it's actually a case of him minimizing 'duration the car is not in straight-ahead orientation'. A unique driving style like Schumacher, but not the same extreme extent (Schumacher days there was no need to protect tyres).

RUS is running lower wing levels and his gains are all in the straights and straight-ish portions. VER is running more wing, might help tyre life tomorrow (not certain because of the wizardry of tyre science). Just two opposite ways of achieving laptime.

Beating teammate to first pole after a long while for the team is huge. Big boost for the team..

2 stopper predicted. Could open up some interesting possibilities tomorrow for a good race even if dry
