The front grip looks good since Carlos was able to pass the leading Toro Rosso on the outside. The new front wing seems to be working well!Morteza wrote: ↑26 May 2019, 18:25For those who get "This video is not available in your location"dr_cooke wrote: ↑26 May 2019, 18:13https://twitter.com/movistar_F1/status/ ... 25408?s=19charliesmithhd wrote: ↑26 May 2019, 17:39Would love to see onboard start from sainz, anyone with f1tv got it?

I'd be surprised, the Red Bull is still faster than McLaren, if they're within a second of pole I'll consider it an achievement. Pole time in Canada is usually the same lap time as Monaco. I predict Pole will be in the high to mid 10's if McLaren can do mid 11's they'll be in a very good position.mclaren113 wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 01:47I won't be surprised if McLaren were a match for redbull in canadagodlameroso wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 01:13As competitive as they were in Bahrain, it's a strange track, and plays well to McLaren's strengths.mclaren113 wrote: ↑26 May 2019, 21:58So guys, after this good result in Monaco, do you think we'll be competitive in Canada?
That is too big of an ask just yet... But if they continue to cut the gap to the front I believe we will all be happy... So far, the team has not been leading the midfield (probably because the last 3 races haven’t favored the car)... First step/goal has to a clear midfield leader, after that’s accomplished we can then start targeting a big higher.mclaren113 wrote:I won't be surprised if McLaren were a match for redbull in canadagodlameroso wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 01:13As competitive as they were in Bahrain, it's a strange track, and plays well to McLaren's strengths.mclaren113 wrote: ↑26 May 2019, 21:58So guys, after this good result in Monaco, do you think we'll be competitive in Canada?
1 redbull is significantly slower the other.godlameroso wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 04:25At the rate they're going they're clearly the 4th best team, they're pulling away from the midfield and nearly doubling the point tally of the nearest competitor. It shows the team has potential and all that is needed for it to show is careful planning.

I don’t see us troubling Red Bull in Canada or anywhere else, different league. They’re firmly in the top 3, and top 2 on some tracks. We were close in Bahrain because they had setup issues which have long been solved. Besides, they don’t have an engine deficit to us, as Canada is a power track. Ferrari on paper should be strongest, if Mercedes don’t unleash more power.mclaren113 wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 01:47I won't be surprised if McLaren were a match for redbull in canadagodlameroso wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 01:13As competitive as they were in Bahrain, it's a strange track, and plays well to McLaren's strengths.mclaren113 wrote: ↑26 May 2019, 21:58So guys, after this good result in Monaco, do you think we'll be competitive in Canada?
Not sure about the engine deficits; Redbull was quite a way down on Barcelona straights.Ground Effect wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 08:40I don’t see us troubling Red Bull in Canada or anywhere else, different league.

Pierre is coming into his own, quietly going about his business. Hasn’t been beaten by a midfield driver (obviously,excluding his DNF in Baku) since Bahrain. He’s not close to Max yet, but the Red Bull has more than enough pace to keep him in a solid 6th.diffuser wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 05:211 redbull is significantly slower the other.godlameroso wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 04:25At the rate they're going they're clearly the 4th best team, they're pulling away from the midfield and nearly doubling the point tally of the nearest competitor.

You will note that we went to China, Baku and Barcelona with restrictions on PU.Ground Effect wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 08:40I don’t see us troubling Red Bull in Canada or anywhere else, different league.

True, so let’s see how it goes. Last year, even with a power deficit Max qualified 3rd, finished 3rd with fastest lap. I think they’ll still be strong. I’m hoping for best of the rest, I’d love us to lock out row 4._cerber1 wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 08:56You will note that we went to China, Baku and Barcelona with restrictions on PU.Ground Effect wrote: ↑27 May 2019, 08:40I don’t see us troubling Red Bull in Canada or anywhere else, different league.
