A race fought to the last, shocked by the strategies and once again with a head to head between Ferrari e RedBull. Max Verstappen is perfect, unbeatable as much as i Fantasy manager that they have deployed at Fanta F1 and who once again scored points! Away from its main rival – Charles Leclerc – engaged in a fantastic comeback up to fifth position, Verstappen he measured himself against the other rider of the Maranello Red, Carlos Sainz, free, very free to fight for victory. Let's go see the tops and flops of Canadian Grand Prix!
MAX VERSTAPPEN: TOP
Now it appears clearer difference between a good driver and a champion like Max. More mature than many veterans, precise and cold in resisting the insistent pressure. Everything he can get out he pulls and the only thing he grants to his opponents is the illusion of being able to overcome him for his mistake. Forged from childhood on karts, from the world fight with Lewis Max is building, brick by brick, his second world championship. The only thing that can undermine this stability is a problem with his RB18. But until it happens Max is undoubtedly the pilot stronger on the grid. Also equipped with the most efficient machine, at the moment, it will be difficult to resist the temptation to field him at the Fanta F1.
CARLOS SAINZ: TOP
Canada's was undoubtedly the best Grand Prix of this season for Sainz, back to what we saw last year. He is found ready and never misses an opportunity to approach Max Verstappen. But another thing, however, is to overcome him, someone like Max. Red Bull was simply perfect, in terms of driving the reigning world champion, as much as in terms of mechanics. But despite everything the Spaniard brought home an excellent second place. He proved to be a good driver and probably the absence of pressure from Perez or Leclerc gave him the charge to try and believe it till the end, also winning the additional point for the fastest lap. Neo, for his weekend the mistake in qualification which cost him the departure from the second position, which went to Alonso.
LEWIS HAMILTON: TOP
Finally we see him scurrying towards the podium, the second of the season. After the tough race in Baku Lewis he came out of the W13 with a big smile and a less sore back. He got up and went back to fighting giving pay to young Russell, always seconds behind. He gave himself 100% and the car reciprocated, demonstrating the makings of a true champion on both wet and dry surfaces. The world championship may be a utopia but races like this are good for the heart and the spirit. Theirs is still not the perfect car but they manage to keep the race alive and fun.
ESTEBAN OCON: TOP
Our protégé at Fanta F1 is back. He drove Leclerc, Alonso and all the Ferraristi crazy who were hoping for an easy overtaking. He overturned the strategies at Ferrari, which even had to wonder about a hypothetical "Plan D". His Alpine, unlike Alonso's was perfect, fast in a straight line and well balanced. He manages to play on Charles' issues in traction at the hairpin. Many have called him "the new Petrov". However, let's hope that this episode doesn't happen again in Abu Dhabi if the fight for the world championship is still open.
HAAS: FLOP
After the fantastic qualifying for the American team comes the inevitable up and down. First mistake, Magnussen's contact with Hamilton, with which the Danish pilot ruins the wing and his race. But from a Fanta F1 perspective, the only salvation is right thereKevin's last position who at least brings 10 points in the Fantamanager's pocket. Different speech for Mike Schumacher, forced to training camp for a problem with his VF-22. It's not his fault but it's the third time in a row that a Haas between him and Magnussen retires.
YUKI TSUNODA: FLOP
An unforgivable mistake in the race ruins Yuki's entire weekend, already compromised by the undisputed qualifying due to the heavy penalties to be served on the grid. He wakes us up from a nap with his crash with 20 laps to go. Not that we needed it that much though.
SERGIO PEREZ: FLOP
Weekend to forget for the Mexican Red Bull. The mistake in Q2 cost him the top 10, condemning him to a start from pitch number 14. Not happy, he also takes it out on the marshalls who couldn't push him to get him back on track. The conclusion for this disastrous weekend comes a few laps before the start of the Grand Prix, with a sudden withdrawal Probably due to a plumbing problem. The wheel turns for everyone and also for Checo comes the second training camp after the one in Bahrain at the beginning of the season.
