Lewis Hamilton has set the record straight at Canada, coming back from the disappointment that befell him in Monaco. The Brit virtually led the race from start to finish, ahead of team mate Nico Rosberg. Williams driver Valtteri Bottas completes the podium
, how is Permane keeping his job? What did they do on the second run in Q3? There's no area when they can't mess up, maybe at least they'll learn from Canada not to sell FP anymore but I'm not holding my breath.RAI made pretty big gains on last year's Q3 - 1.2s, but still not 2-3s. Too bad VET didn't get into Q3 to compare.Juzh wrote:Red bulls are 0.5s slower than last year, whereas merc has managed to gain a whole 0.5s. Good progress. Remember people talking about 2015 cars being 2-3s faster than 2014 lol.
Like for like - I.e. Kimi to kimi - Ferrari have improved over a second (1.2). Even fastest Ferrari to fastest Ferrari you're talking 0.8 improvement - but I still think Seb or fernando (we're he in this year's car) would have been faster.Juzh wrote:Red bulls are 0.5s slower than last year, whereas merc has managed to gain a whole 0.5s.

It was Pirelli who said they'd be 2-3 seconds quicker but didn't turn out to be the case. Merc were aiming to find a second from their engine so maybe none of the teams other than Ferrari have found the time that were expecting.Juzh wrote:Red bulls are 0.5s slower than last year, whereas merc has managed to gain a whole 0.5s.

Ferrari had lots of ground available to make up. Unlike merc for instance. Something I've been saying for ages now. Yet delusional people were still believing some magic will make up laptime out of thin air.Nathanael F1 wrote:RAI made pretty big gains on last year's Q3 - 1.2s, but still not 2-3s.

Because the Merc rumour said their fuel system would get them a second from the engine alone.Juzh wrote:Ferrari had lots of ground available to make up. Unlike merc for instance.

Interesting comment from Perez on sky, saying this year's car was 0.8s slower than last year's. Ricciardo has also been saying they're only now getting to 2014 levels and Williams initially said it took a long time to claw back the downforce lost because of nose regulation change.Juzh wrote:Ferrari had lots of ground available to make up.
