This has been a good race, looks like we won't quite get the actual overtaking action at the front, but that hasn't taken away from the excitement of the battle.

Is today a genuine reason to be optimistic about Merc or just another race where they've found the window?

Max has a bit of form for wheel to wheel combat so this should be canny if Sainz gets within striking distance

Back on a race track rather than a street curcuit.

Haway the Sainz. Bring the Spain.

I hope he gets him but I just can’t see it

Smooth race track. Not a bumpy street

That redbull is some machine.

(Sainz 200m behind Max)
Crofty: "Sainz has Max in his sights! Getting closer, inches, centimeters! He must get him here!!!...no, he just misses out, and Max opens the gap again" repeat for the next 20 laps.

Canada is a street track.

 

[SAFC11]

Sainz was pretty shite there. Couldn't take the u-bend, lost 2-3 hundreths of a second on each of the last two laps

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Canada is a street track.

There's a difference between city streets and a park.

The Mercs a decent car, just with a very small operating window. Potentially still I believe the best on the grid, but clearly they’re still some way from sorting out the setup.

Kudos max for the last 10 lap stint…


Little bit of sick in my mouth there…

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

Good race for Hamilton. Not a bad day for Leclerc in the end. Max just too good.

Champion Max*


* Double Champion elect.


Good podium for Merc but what you'd expect with a Ferrari and a Red Bull missing.

 

[Walter H. White]

That was extremely frustrating.

 

[Walter Ego]

Anyone but Max, I hate him. His whole arrogance of his fellow drivers and attitude to his team, little prick

Soz mate.

 

[NeeBoshMarra]

Sainz = Barrichello

 

[timeforheroes1]

Sainz not good enough is he?

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

That was ok as a race but overall still extremely underwhelmed by the "Ground Effect" era. Red Bull dominance is hardly better for the sport then Mercedes dominance was. I do not think this lack of competitiveness was what the FIA had in mind.
