And this year the Grand Prix of Canada comes at a crucial time for Hamilton. The last time in Monaco, said that removing the guards said in an interview on television, and even - but in jest - he played the race card, which he later apologized. Monday’s newspapers was critical of Hamilton, and many observers were quick to condemn your driver’s license two during the race and comments.
But now Hamilton has the chance to put things on track. McLaren seems to make great strides as the season progresses, and has now reached a point where they can compare, or even better, with views of Red Bull RB7 pace. This is probably his best track, Hamilton could make his critics again sublime performance.
It is also interesting to note that Red Bull has been dominant in the last year and qualifying, with Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel in pole position until all Canada - just like they did this season. It was Hamilton, who interrupted the series last season, can do the same in 2011?
All eyes will be on Hamilton in Canada this weekend, especially in the comments to Monaco, but also the hope that it takes only a struggle for Vettel in Montreal, and to make this fight his career title two horses.
It is also noted with interest how race Pirelli. Most races this season (Monaco and Australia are the exceptions) have seen three or four steps for most riders, thanks to a high decomposition PZero rubber. All this is a circuit where last year Bridgestone tires each rider’s easy to do only one mandatory pit stop. What happens when you arrive in the district in which Bridgestone ultra-conservatives who have fought?
Last season was a combination of strategies for two or three stops in Montreal, because even harder compound Bridgestone was greater than expected deterioration. E ‘was different than any other race in this way, so it’s interesting to see how the price of this Italian manufacturer of tires Pirelli tires that the super-soft and soft in Canada -. Same compounds used in Monte Carlo.
Why Canada is very difficult for both the brakes and tires? Is on the long straights that lead to disputes. The circuit is considered by the monitoring teams in support of “low, so drivers have a good speed on the straight, but after more pressure on the brakes to get to a corner. The car struggles for traction in the curves due to the low downforce and less grip, braking moves, increasing tire wear.
The track is on the road, so it is very dirty, and is also the abrasive asphalt, which reduces the tires. Grip is just the race weekend unfolds, provided it does not rain in the night F1 rubber - as happened last year.
Since the street circuit there are no major drainage areas, and the walls around the edge of the circuit means that accidents usually result in the safety car period, which gives us a more unpredictable.
For what it’s worth, the Canadian Grand Prix is ??one of my favorite races of the season. You are always assured of a good race, the stands filled with an enthusiastic audience, and it’s time to choose the British public.
E ‘Lewis Hamilton to take victory number three in this amazing circuit on Sunday? This will give him more wins for people in Canada, Ayrton Senna, Jackie Stewart and Alan Jones, and put it in relationship with Nelson Piquet. Indeed, only one driver has more wins, Hamilton, Canada: Mr. Schumacher, who can take seven years.
