“It could be an explosive combination.” This was defined by none other than Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolffwith the possibility of rain in today’s race (8:00 pm/DAZN) at the Canadian F1 GP and that, in turn, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton will find themselves battling for position from the Canadian starting grid.
“It’s a shame, because he didn’t deserve what happened. We don’t know what happened. He was seventh. Certainly in the race he will wait for the rain to arrive, and Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton together can be an explosive combination. But whatever happens, “Let’s hope that Hamilton has a fast car and can come back soon,” said the Austrian.
They came out of the grill together
Fernando Alonso was just two tenths away from the fight for pole in qualifying in his Aston Martin, which worked better in Canada because of the importance of straight top speed and aerodynamic efficiency. The Asturian can count on that point and his strength DRS as the main weapon to fight against Lewis Hamilton, who will start 7th.
Hamilton couldn’t handle his Mercedes and Russell took the pole
Lewis Hamilton had a car that, in the dry and in qualifying, was the best car in Canada, surprising everyone. The 7-time champion did not know how to take advantage of the potential that his car had at the crucial moment as Russell, his teammate, could have taken pole position, and secured his car. “it’s not the same” (it wasn’t the same) as in Free Practice 3 because “I never had the same grip.”
The two are known to clash and sparks can fly. Wolff is well aware of this, not hesitating to emphasize how intense that battle will be with the possibility of rain for today’s race.
