Yes. As did Lewis on his last error strewn lap. I was looking forward to seeing a challenge for the lap record

I think he took to much out of them in sector 1 (20.154), because on his last lap he came back in sector 3 as well (29.054).

Disappointed by FER Q2, but let's wait... Anyway I don't expect a lot n Q3

Less than 2 tenths off mercedes pace and ahead of red bull that was supposed to conquer the world... go figure.... all that talk from ricciardo was just that talk... now maybe he will shutup for the rest of the weekend.....Vettel says he lost a bit of traction in the hairpin.....i guess that turbo upgrade does provide more power in qualifying.....here come the red bull fan excuses lmao

I think the Mercedes had more potential left on their second run. Nico ruined his lap in corner 1 and i am not sure of Hamilton then aborted his or took it a bit more easy... everyone else improved on their 2nd run despite the Mercs.

Then again, Canada is somewhat of a drivers circuit. Any street circuit is. A lot of time to be made by driving that closer to the limit or over...

Stop it, Hamilton just couldn't improve, Rosberg was behind him on track and the team wouldn't talk to him while he's on a flying lap.

Lewis was up by 0.175 after first sector and then he was suddenly down by 0.3xx, which means he made a mistake somewhere in the second sector to lose more than 4 tenths.

Like I said, I think he over cooked them in sector 1, because he was purple in sector 1 and 3 and slow in 2.

Hamilton's S1 0.033 better, after S2 he was 1 tenth or so down on his first lap so he lost 2 tenths in S2.

Wow...RIC almost 3 sec faster than his 2015 Q3-laptime. Decent step I'd say.

Source for those numbers? Because I think they are wrong.

No offense, i was just guessing, as the reply i was replying to was hinting of a more exciting 2nd half of the season, suggesting that Ferrari & Co. has closed the gap.

My post was merely to suggest that there must have been a reason why the gap was so small in the end and pointing out that all the cars improved on their 2nd lap while the Mercs didnt. A simple fact.

Thanks. 'took it easy' of course... So what if he was quicker in the first sector , what kind of logic is that? Maybe it was pace with mistakes included later? As always pointless additions.
- Told you Ferrari would be quick.
- Bottas - Massa within 0,1. Why would they want to replace Massa with Button? A lot of tweets and followers?

Well Merc improved massively from q1 into q2, Ferrari(Vettel) did that from q2 which was close to q1 into q3

The reason is Ferrari has made a step with their turbo upgrade... why is that not a possibilty?

It was what I saw on TV. I hope someone posts the numbers from F1 livetiming data.

Do you mean overcooked the tyres? Cause that doesn't make sense if he took too much out of the tyres in S1 for him to then be fastest in S3. Besides the US will last for more than a whole hot lap here in Canada as we've seen. And again, his S1 time on both runs were pretty much identical but it sure didn't affect his first run lap time where he did his best S2.

He just didn't do a good S2 on his final run. Definitely more time there

You could just say it's a short lap
