How did Werstappen win the No. 1 win of the season? 6:Max Verstappen's sixth win of the season, his fifth in the last six events was quite clear, if not comfortable, gave him a big advantage at the World Cup.
Verstappen և main rival Carlos Sainz somewhat equated the two braking strategies, և the Ferrari driver was inside the DRS in the final stages, but was never so close as to seriously challenge Verstappen. The reigning champion was kept cool and warm, although he lost radio communication with the pit wall in the middle of the race.
His teammate Sergio Perez retired prematurely due to loss of strength, leaving Verstappen gap with a comfortable 46 points, after 22 of almost 22 points after two games.
"We still have a long way to go. I know the gap is big enough, but we know it can change very quickly. 3. I was behind in the 46th race, so we have to stay calm, we have to focus, we have to improve. Because we are not the fastest, take a break today. Last weekend was a good race, it does not look good now, but we still managed to win, I think it is also a quality.
This was the chair of the Saints' 11th career, but the expectation of climbing to the top continues.
"It was a tough fight with Max. I think I gave the colder tire five or six turns, but it takes more than two or three tenths to get around it (Sainz's advantage," he said. I gave it, I risked everything, near the wall, I got close enough a couple of times, but it was not enough movement to get me somewhere, but I pushed. "
the story goes on
Lewis Hamilton had a tough race, but returned to the Canadian podium 15 years after his first victory. Hamilton finished fourth, but was overtaken by Fernando Alonso for a relatively lonely third place, giving him his first podium at the start of the season in Bahrain.
"It gave me a lot of hope for the team to do more with this car," said Hamilton. "There is really potential if we regulate it properly. I think the hardest part this year was optimizing the settings window. This car is much smaller than any other car we have ever tried. I was not in the pulpit for a long time! Especially the first victory I got here 15 years ago, coming back feeling the energy of the people, was very similar to the first year here. I am so happy.
Hamilton was in a bad mood after Friday's practice, where he used experimental components as part of Mercedes' experience of understanding the W13 in the long run, but Sunday was much better.
"We tried two different paths, և my journey was great," Hamilton said of Friday's slowdown. "We collected all the data we had, made some drastic changes to the settings, it was much, much better than we expected. It was fun, you know a lot when you get the full distance of the race. There is a lot to do. from today. It's really great that we have really good reliability, I think it's real. Tribute to all the great ones. The work that the team does. ”
"I really hope to go to Silverstone, it's a very strong race for us. I just want to fight these guys.
Leclerc has already lost 49 points and is not giving up
Charles Leclerc's intention to win the title continued to slip in Canada, despite enormous pressure. After receiving the engine penalty, Leclerc started in 19th place, but maintained his patience throughout the race until he climbed to fifth place.
However, he is now third in the league, 49 points behind Verstappen, 46 after the Australian Grand Prix. To the question whether he can pay the deficit, Leclerc immediately answered: "Yes Yes: I think reliability is everyone's business this season. If we fix our reliability, we will have to get back the performance, so we will try to get some points back. "Silverstone".
Before the race, Leclerc's goal was to finish in the top four, but he was optimistic despite losing his place.
"I think, unfortunately, the [slow] pit stop put us in a bad position because we cleaned up the DRS train and then went on another DRS train, it cost me a little bit," he said. "Overall, it was a race where I had to be patient, first I got on the DRS train, then 'Esteban [Okon] let me go, I had new tires, he was really good in the 10th lap every time I I was going out. "I think the pace was very good, but it's true."
Alonso leaves the offensive line, occupies the 9th placeFernando Alonso described his speech as "terrible" after falling from the first to the seventh row, which indicates engine problems. Alonso was one of those who finished the podium in the early stages, but an obvious problem kept him from the championship race, instead returning home in seventh place, one place behind his teammate Esteban.
"In the 20th century, we had an engine problem when we got out of a straight line very quickly, as soon as we got out of the power corners," he said. "We tried to fix it, but we did not succeed. Fortunately, we did not give up the car, we still got a few points, but before that I think we were struggling to climb the podium at the beginning of the race. "Then when the engine problem arose, I tried to survive. I tried DRS, bringing the kamikaze to the corners before they recognized me, as DRS was my only safety after the straight."
Alonso added that his car "flew this weekend" that he "went straight for a second, even faster (than Okon)", he said. The reliability of the car should be a little better.
Alonso was later sentenced to five seconds in prison for defending Walter Bottas in knitting, dropping to ninth place.
Haas gets nowhere in the third rowHaas started the day by closing the third row of the network, but finished the last one with 17 cars in one car and one car half-finished. It was the worst case scenario,: unfortunately Haas took it with both hands. Ken Magnussen won the first round after a minor injury to his front flank, and Race Control was tasked with repairing it. It left him at a low level, he went out with the other riders, his hopes were dashed. Magnussen understands that he is upset with the result.
"The front arm was safe, it was not broken," he said. "Looking at Jeddah last year, Lewis Hamilton won the race by halfway ahead ... I think it's good, you know, if we can walk. Suddenly everything seems very different. Because I have a scratch on the front arm.
Mick Schumacher was seventh in the opening session but had to leave the engine with an engine problem.
"I'm sorry if we built the cake but could not put the fat on it," he said.
Lance Stroll's point allowed Aston Martin to overtake Haas and reduce the American team to ninth place.
