Canadian Grand Prix F1 2017: Race Results

Start the race of the fantastic Canadian GP of F1 2017, and begins with a Toro Rosso as the protagonist, that of Kvyat, who on the warm-up lap was left standing on the finish straight and the mechanics were able to push him and start without problems. But the problems for Toro Rosso have not ended here, because in the first corners Carlos Sainz had a strong impact against Felipe Massa's car and then with the barriers, apparently due to a puncture in the rear tire caused by a friction with the Haas of Grosjean who has touched him from behind, this has ended with the Toro Rosso and the Williams out of action and he was about to take more cars in that accident...

In front, Hamilton managed to make a good start and has maintained the first position, Bottas has also done so and Verstappen who has slipped his car between Hamilton's and Bottas's. Therefore very good start for the Red Bull. The one that didn't go well was Vettel, who lost position and also Räikkönen, who also fell due to a good start from Ricciardo and Pérez who placed their cars in front. So a disastrous start for those from Maranello. Alonso, before the car, was able to dodge it and not lose too much time, and then placed 10th in the first few laps. But of course, with the engine deficit, the fuel savings that they have to do extra on this circuit and the reliability problems looming, it was not an easy race for Fernando. Also in the replays we have seen how he had to go out onto the grass to be able to avoid the accident and get back on track. By the way, Kvyat has been another of those who has climbed many positions due to the accident of his partner, but they have investigated him in case they should apply any sanction...

By the way, to say that the very Michael Douglas and Zak Brown They have been in charge of giving Fernando Alonso a frame with the photo of the scoreboard leading the lap of the Indy 500. Apparently, the American actor is a faithful follower of Alonso and had attended the Canadian GP to see the race and give him a surprise to Fernando. And going back to bad luck, Vettel had to go in to change his nose in the early stages of the race, which has destined him to the last positions of the grid and also Verstappen who was doing very very well and had to stop the car on lap 11 due to engine problems. A pity for the young driver, who with his aggressive start and his times could have even finished close to the podium or on the same podium, who knows. The Virtual SafetyCar or VSC leading to Max's abandonment has disrupted the strategies of many, which he has taken advantage of to stop and not waste so much time. And we have even seen a series of stops afterwards to try to do something different from other cars.

very good race for Esteban Ocon, the "Franco-Malagueño" had a magnificent race getting to be in the fight for the podium with his Force India, but Pérez was too aggressive against his teammate. So the driver's performance is very good and this is another of the reasons why he charges against Lance Stroll, since with a Williams, he is not performing as expected and his teammate Massa is "destroying" him. I know that you can't judge for being a rookie, but Ocon is also in similar conditions and is complying. It's a pity that Fernando was not able to get more points for the morale of the team (finally he opted for one but he missed it due to a new mechanical failure), but obviously with the Honda engine he has been losing positions despite the good strategy of stop as late as possible because of how well the ultrasoft tires have worked. But when you have other cars that run several km/h more than your car on a straight line and on top of that they open the DRS that gives them as many extras, well, there's not much that can be done. By the way, Fernando Alonso's gesture was beautiful, leaving the car stopped and he jumped to get into the stands next to the public and where he distributed the gloves and was with the people.

Race results:

next appointment in European GP on the Azerbaijani circuit which will take place the weekend of June 23-25. Honda has said that they will try to have the engine improvements that they had planned for Canada in that urban GP, ​​we will see if they comply and the improvement is notable. It is a very narrow circuit, but it has a great straight, so it will be good for them if the improvements are introduced for this race and if they represent a big improvement to save those approximate 80CV that they have in deficit with respect to Ferrari and Mercedes. So I just have to say goodbye until next time and hope that the Spanish riders have luck there and that the great improvement of Honda finally comes and is miraculous... Since it seems that only one miracle is needed to return them to the new path seen what viewed.
