2018 Canadian Grand Prix, Montreal June 8-10

Mercs are not chariots of Gods.. they are also just a team which managed to do the best turbo engines and run away till last year with sufficient advantage in the front.. and always had thier engines turned down half way down the race.. now that they are coming under real pressure they are pushing the limits more and cracking..

its not "Even Mercs".. its juts Mercs....

I used that term because it was clear that they had/have a beast of a PU and its something new to see them facing some difficulties.

Peace bro.. i also kinda meant it in a different way... didnt mean any offense..

No worriers mate, did I "sound" upset? it was no my intention.

FP1 can´t come soon enough, I have the feeling that this race will be great!

Hamilton very downbeat about Canada. Basically he fully expects Ferrari to be in front thanks to their new PU and Merc, at best, to be fighting the Bulls. Seems most concerned about DNFing. Bad news particularly for FI given how close the midfield battle is.

Watching FP1 opening, did that "look at the season so far" mini-film just misspell Ricciardo's name?

Weird strategy by Ferrari with Kimi, no new ICE (already expected that) but a new turbo.

[Sierra117]

Max's mistakes = Sky singing praises at exciting racing and how he's SO YOUNG.
Lance's mistakes driving a difficult car= Sky with loads of criticism (he's "overdriving").

If they bring a new ICE i think he would be one 3? He needs to wait for a while to get the updated engine. Unless they just put it in the pool earlier.

Could indicate that they think there will be another update to the engine.

I heard that a bigger update was planned for Canada but it was delayed because they weren't happy with the reliability yet.

HS not terrible in terms of consistency, but might lock you into a 2 stopper.

Thankfully. One stop races can be very boring.

RB and Mercedes(despiste Hamilton´s negative comments) look good. As usual we must wait until FP2 and FP3 to see Ferrari´s true potential.

Watching FP1 on sky F1.

How many mistakes were made by editors or whoever puts out the broadcast it was shocking, could barely hear team radio, graphics were all over the place sometimes not coming on for team radio it was pretty shocking lol.

I think the same holds true for Mercedes this weekend as well.

I am wondering if there is already something to say about the Honda PU upgrade. Does anyone has a time comparison of FP1 of last year? Very rough estimate indeed, but it may say something. Gasly 1.7s down of the front runner is quite a lot isn't it?

Come on... U just cant ignore facts.. Mercs and Williams are not the same. With Mercs Resources they are supposed to build a decent car with decent aero.. and over all.. it was the power unit which is to be credited more for most of the victories around the Calender.. If thier car and chassis was that good why be so vulnerable in less power sensitive circuits like Hungary, Monaco and Singapoure..

Pay attention to spelling kid.

Here is why I asked for a crash course for new bees.
