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.

not so much since lots of drivers use the RHS of the track on hot laps.Chuckjr wrote:I cannot remember...does Canada have a dirty side of the grid or not so much?
the HP deficit is more BS from Horner. Lotus were topping the speed traps comfortably at Barcelona.n smikle wrote:xpensive wrote:Amazing how Vettel can be on pole on a power-track like Montreal, considering being at least 40 Hp down on the McLarens, not to mention perhaps 70 less than MGP/AMG.

come on now...
Renault has been making F1 engines for decades.. they haven't missed a trick when it comes to horsepower for the last 3 years.
Maybe Webber will struggle, but certainly Vettel has been in a class of his own in terms of extracting life from the tyres over the last season and a half. It's a large part of his current advantage, these tyres just suit his natural driving style. This will be doubly true if he stays out front.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:Will Red Bull really have that good a tyre life in comparison to say Ferrari?
With that skinny wing they're running they risk over cooking the tyres. They may just have found a tiny operating window that suits a 2 stop strategy, but I reservations over this.
The moment the tyres start to play funny buggers I'm of the opinion Red Bull will be in a world of hurt.

You can call it a lottery all you like, it's not random and there are clear patterns emerging. They are difficult to work with, but it's not random.n smikle wrote:Myurr..These Pirelli lottery wheels? I could agree to it suiting him, and his car in these conditions. The way these pirellies are drawing, who knows what is going to happen next race.
EXACTLY. Teams and drivers need to get over it, stop complaining, and do their job. These are smart, educated, experienced, VERY well paid people. Do the job. I don't complain about stuff thats dam near impossible to control/understand in my job, and I don't make near the money and have tons of pressure to perform. To me, it's why Alonso is doing so well--he just puts his head down, doesn't complain, and drives the car balls out.myurr wrote:You can call it a lottery all you like, it's not random and there are clear patterns emerging.

He never made it to the apex at the hairpin, but that car looks massively stable in every way.
Vettel might be OK, if he comes out in P1 out of T1 (clean air). But if he runs in dirty air like Webber, then probably.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:Will Red Bull really have that good a tyre life in comparison to say Ferrari?

This behavior from our members is shameful.
All I have heard from is coke smuggling in fire extinguishers. 
and that was in a book by Austrian author Wolf Haas: Ausgebremst- Best of foul play. 1998 (Thwarted- Best of Foul play, maybe... no english translation available, so if here is someone in the publishing business, time to take action, content sounds strange but is wonderful and not disrespecting).I am not a murderer. I strangled the taxidriver in pure selfdense. He wanted to chauffeur me to death, because no one is supposed to hear why half a dozen of F1-Pilots had to die in plane accidents. No one shall remembered of how Michael Schumacher got his first F1-cockpit. Everyone is supposed to believe that Niki Lauda is the real Niki Lauda. For twelve years death has spared F1. Now death returns to the circuits.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think he's talking about redbull's kers having less HP than the other teamsn smikle wrote:xpensive wrote:Amazing how Vettel can be on pole on a power-track like Montreal, considering being at least 40 Hp down on the McLarens, not to mention perhaps 70 less than MGP/AMG.
