Will be a great race no doubt but I am keen to see how many victims this year on the final corner... "The wall of Champions".

Always a fun race and refreshing after the two most difficult to overtake tracks.

Cool man. Convey our regards to Mr. James Vowells if you can meet him and tell him we enjoyed his Monaco show.

Think it will be important that Merc nail their balance between top speed and downforce otherwise the Ferrari will breeze past them on the straight and they'll be quicker in the downforce section or they'll be too closely matched pace wise.

If the Merc is the quickest car then I can't see past a Lewis pole at this circuit. We've yet to see him lock up in his qualifying runs, Nico has done it the most this year. Looks confident on the brakes. When his head is in the zone he has his own way around here. (But then again we said all this last year :lol:)

How on earthe can you believe Ferrari can beat Hamilton on this track for which is almost like his home's garden??? It's perfect for the W06, with a fresh engine, traction out os slow corners, and Hamilton's speacial feelings in the braking points. Arrivabene already confirmed for the italian media that they won't use neither of their tokens for Canada, they will wait until the summer break at Spa. The maximum temperatures for Saturday and Sunday are 23-24 Celsius, what can do Ferrari with that low temperatures. It's all written for a dominant Hamilton win.

Finally a circuit where you can overtake. I still remember 2011, some great racing here. There's almost always a safety car. Is Pirelli doing soft and super soft again?

Canada's another race where the current cars are doing decent times compared to previous eras:

2014 N. Rosberg Mercedes 1:14.874
2006 Fernando Alonso Renault 1:14.942 (2003, 2005, 2007, 2008 all even slower)

I guess that's a combination between the track putting emphasis on top speed and slow corner performance (rather than high speed aero) and the current use of soft tyres not designed to last very long.

Feel like Hamilton will carry the Monaco speed over to here and just be on it from the word go. I'm very interested to see if McLaren go backwards a bit here though because of the emphasis on speed.

Dominant Ferrari win.
Merc got no chance and outta frustration they both crash out, probably into each other.
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.
