Yes. I actually expect Force India to dominate the midfield battle. Hass would have been there if they knew how to setup brakes properly!Edax wrote: ↑02 Jun 2018, 16:51For me the interesting part is going to be the midfield. FI have traditionally done well here, they might surrprise.
Another interesting one is going to be McLaren vs Renault vs Toro Rosso. I think this is the best chance to see how the Honda stacks up against the renault engine and how Mclaren and Renault really compare.
I reckon that teams will have been working flat out with data from Barcelona to develop or improve updates for Canada.
Have you not been watching the season to this point? It's very noticeable, specially when Lewis or Valtteri are on it hard that they are dealing with understeer and some occasional snap oversteer?
I noticed the occasional snap oversteer more than understeer, hence thought Mercedes was more of an oversteery car. But maybe or probably I'm mistaken.
Im sure I read Hamilton has had the most mechanical failures while in a podium position of all the current drivers. This tells me he is more unlucky than the others.Artur Craft wrote: ↑04 Jun 2018, 17:39These crappy compounds were already degrading a lot on Monaco, imagine on Canada....
If Ferrari can get pole/win here, Mercedes/Hamilton will need lots of luck(not unusual for him, btw) to win this championship
check out this side by side from Bahrain. pay close attention to turns 1,4,13,& 4. Leiws is particularly bad through turns 1 & 4, really missing the apexes.
Maybe he has been fortunate (I won’t say lucky) to be in more podium worthy cars than others, and so more likely to be in those positions when they fail.NathanOlder wrote: ↑04 Jun 2018, 18:40Im sure I read Hamilton has had the most mechanical failures while in a podium position of all the current drivers.
