Lewis Hamilton has won the Canadian GP, making the best of a two stop strategy. Romain Grosjean finished in second place with Sergio Pérez third on the podium. Sebatian Vettel finished fourth after a late pitstop while Fernando Alonso is 5th after struggling to the end on badly worn tyres.
Looked to me as if they weren't thinking at all. That was a really odd gamble they took, odds were definitely less then 50%zyphro wrote:What were Ferrari thinking?

More durable tyres = best race this year so far.

When the only effort you have to put forth to pass a driver is pushing a button on your steering wheel, yes there is blame for it. It's utter bullshit that even overtaking on straights in Formula 1 has come down to who gets to push a button and who doesn't. Tires have absolutely nothing to do with going faster on a straight, and any driver can ruin his tires without any input of design change from Pirelli. Pirelli have no control over the FIA making stupid decision like having DRS. Tires got the drivers to the rear of the driver(s) they were trying to pass, but some stupid gimmick let them fly right past without so much as a wave. DRS is bullshit and it needs to be gotten rid of.QLDriver wrote:I think it's hard to 'blame' DRS - at 4 seconds a lap slower than your challenger, there's NO way you're going to keep them behind.
Richly deserved by Hamilton.
I think Alonso and Vettel switched to one-stop strategies after Hamilton's poor stops. It was clearly the wrong move for both.myurr wrote:You have to remember that it wasn't the tyres that were the problem in this race, it was Alonso and Vettel trying for a one stop race. Others managed to make it work, but they (Alonso and Vettel) were pushing the tyres harder earlier in the stint.
