Canada GP Free practice & qualifying

[ss-89]

It's the car, not the driver.

I'm not hamiltons biggest fan but that's simply not true. Bottas is very good at this track and was 0.8s behind. Credit where credit is due that was a great lap. Shame Vettel didn't have time for a warmup lap as I suspect he would have done better than he did but regardless a very good effort.

[DelMar]

Very strong lap from Lewis. SEVEN tenths on Bottas, howly...
Also, strong Q from Vettel, first time I see 3 timed laps with different tyres, going all out.. Very strong middle lap, 4 thousands of Lewis.. scrappy last lap, but Pole was Always going to be Lewis'

From live timing, I think in the first sector Hulk was in front of Vettel. He did a 19.9 instead of his best 19.7 in the first sector.

I am OK with the results, considering too many mistakes by SV, and KR, well... Usual... Any way good positions for start tomorrow!

Dont blame the drivers buddy. They made mistakes because they were pushing 110%. It was always Lewis' today. That's not Kimi or Seb's fault. It just wasn't in the car.

[Rob]

P2 P4 good solid day, and im sure we will see yet again some good starts from Seb and Kimi.

thats such a cool gift

Lewis was very good today. The race is tomorrow, lets see if it can go to our favour.

I think Seb could have pole if not for all the mistakes

[tifosi1993]

Happy with the result. I expect Seb to win tomorrow.

[alfa84]

Good pace. ☺

[DelMar]

I think Seb could have pole if not for all the mistakes

Adding with his best sector over his 3 runs, he would have been 0.130 sec short.

the merc magic button is back, dang Seb put the ferrari beyond its limit today

[Fireblade]

I think Seb could have pole if not for all the mistakes

I think if Hamilton was driving the Ferrari he'd have made at least as many mistakes.

[mwk360]

how far off was Bottas & Kimi from Ham?? they disappeared at the end

[zike]

At least it could have been within 0.1

[JPBD]

At least it could have been within 0.1

When second is a bad day in the office, be grateful. .3 or .1. It's still second. Good effort from Seb, but a great effort from Lewis. Even though I dislike him, he's clearly good.

[nani_s23]

I saw ham making or pressing some button while getting into S3.
Is it related tyre temp?
If so, then mercs found some solution to this tyre temp working range.
But I still strongly feel. They will struggle in race.

Damn that idiot commentator crofty says seb is disappointed & Ferrari are no where near ham.

Race is tmrw, let's show hamster & cranky crofty some lessons.

Phenomenal laps by Lewis and Seb in qualifying

Lewis doesn't deserves it.

So still 2nd then.......

[vetalo]

Do anyone think Ferrari setup their car for the race tomorrow? being second is better for tomorrow from past races. so i expect Vettel to be leading into the first corner

[nani_s23]

Vet already got Schumi Ferrari car.
When he wins this year championship with Ferrari. I definetly feel he will dedicate it to Schumi.

[Kristof_F40]

Lewis deserves this pole, very strong from him.
Seb also very strong, but messed up his last lap..
For the race tomorrow, I think it will be a though race. Pace should be ok, but if BOT starts like he has done the other races he might jump Seb which would be a disaster.
Otherwise we can try smething on Lewis, but BOT is still there to help Lewis.
It will be a though one to win from Lewis. If we can't win, I'm hoping for a double podium

2&4th is dirty side or clean side of track.
Becoz if you r on dirty side your tyres will spin &get struck for a moment which would lead to slow start

[alfa84]

Does the first corner privileges us or is it to dirty to benefit

[zike]

So still 2nd then.......

Of course, but watching Seb in the post quali interview I had a feeling he thought he could have it

But Canada is different from other circuits

Outlap wasn't gr8 from him on 3rd FL. That's why he had a wobble in s1
