Poll: Canadian Grand Prix 2018, Montréal - Race 7/21

[englishpremier]

Honda fastest in the speed traps. McLaren would have had to run without wings to get that last year.

 

[Mr Jack]

It was a stupid question to be fair. He wants to focus on this race. Why ask such a redundant question about previous races, especially when he had a clean Monaco drive. Just a tabloid rag trying to get a rise.

It's the most topical question about Max. If has earned his Crashstappen name well this season.

Tim Goss seems to have taken the fall for the mess McLaren are in already, but if they don't at least start pulling clear as 'best of the rest' if not on par with Red Bull (assuming they stay with Renault next year) next year then it has to be an endemic issue with their design team.

And 12th and 17th fastest at the end of the lap. There are no points for fastest past the speed gun.

LOL at Stroll being told how to drive by his engineer.

Engineer has more data than the driver to look at so may be providing useful coaching. Not uncommon in any sport is it? Coaching, advice, training etc is quite normal in sport, why not F1?

Another practice session where the Williams drivers show themselves up. I fully expect both to be gone next year.

If not before - its such a shame to see Kubica as their reserve driver, he might not bring the amount of cash that Sirotkin does but I can bet he'd be able to do more toward developing what's clearly a rubbish car.

 

[englishpremier]

From what I understand he's been faster in every session/test he's been in bar the one that counted when they were selecting drivers.

Money talks and unfortunately both Stroll and Sirotkin have a lot of it

Williams is a joke these days, or have they always been suckers for pay drivers only?

Always. Frank has never been one for wanting to pay for a good driver. If he could have the cars drive themselves, he would have done that. If they do ever get a good young driver, he always moves on for money and a better car - and often Williams is happy to do a deal to sell them to a bigger team just as they did for Bottas and many before him.

Slight aside but from an aerodynamic pov is the ‘high nose’ design of the cars of the 90s and 2ks better than the current type?

Come on Red Bull. Qualy is on.

 

[MooMoo444]

We're off for qualy

Hoping for a Red Bull front row to spice it up.

Grosjean's engine blew up in the pitlane lol

 

[NewGamer11]

Slight smoky incident for Grosjean!

 

[muon]

Bet they didn't fit the engine properly.

 

[Mr Jack]

Looking forward to this, Canada is always a highlight!

 

[NewGamer11]

Max’s sister or Lance’s?

 

[Mr Jack]

Was that Max who damn near collected Ericson?
