Canada GP: Kimi wins 4 in a row

Kimi sets the world record in Canada for winning his first 4 race in a row as George’s car broke down. Hamilton came in second as Max got the third spot. 

Mercedes strong but disappoint George

Kimi had won 3 races in a row and that obviously put a lot of pressure on George. He brushed it off saying that Miami anyway was not his strong hunting ground. Things were suppose to get better from Canada and for the European leg of the race. Kimi had struggled in Europe last year. George looked confident and he did perform well in the Sprint Quali and the Sprint race. Things got heated up in the Sprint race between George and Kimi but then Toto Wolff would have got things under control. In the Quali Kimi looked very confident but then lost by a narrow margin to George in the last run of Q3.

With the rain threatening, the race started in a dicey condition. Kimi got ahead of George but could not fly away as he would have expected. George got the lead again. There was a lot of back and forth between the two and things were getting spicy. However mid-way, George’s car just stopped on the track. This was a big jolt. His deficit was already increasing and now it is 43 points. Kimi is on a high and George is distraught. However this is a long season and like last year the senior team member still can catch up. 

McLaren disaster in Canada

McLaren have got some good upgrades and they are looking solid. However they started the race on Inters when everyone else was on slicks. This costed them dearly and both their drivers had to come for pit-stop quickly and they fell down the grid. It will be a race to forget for the McLarens. 

Upbeat Hamilton in Canada 

Hamilton was looking quite upbeat in Canada. He was fast but could only secure P5 in the grid. He got a good start and after McLaren fumble and George DNF he was fighting with Max for the second spot on the podium. This confident Hamilton is seen after a long time. He would be looking forward to Monaco. On the other hand Charles was not in the groove at all. There was no pace and he just wanted the race to be over. He still finished a respectable P4. 

Max pushing up in Canada

Max had a solid last weekend in Nürburgring, which he did not win but was super still. He was off the pace here and complaining all the time but still finished on the podium. Isack Hadjar had issues too and the pace was missing but still finished P5. 

Franco Colapinto got the finish finish at P6 and Gasly P8. Liam Lawson got P7, Carlos P9 and Ollie P10.
