To be seven-tenths ahead of your team-mate on one of the shortest laps is just a SUPERLATIVE performance.

Brilliant Lewis

What can you say about Lewis Hamilton’s performance in Canada?Perfect. It was an absolutely devastating qualifying lap, probably one of the best laps I’ve seen from him for his 65th pole position and with a lot of emotions with the Senna story. I really thought it was a lap befitting of anyone who is going to equal the record of someone like Senna.

His commitment through the final chicane in particular was pretty stellar, but the whole lap looked so hooked up. In Q1 and Q2 it looked nip and tuck between Ferrari and him but that first run in Q3 was such a big jump ahead. To be seven-tenths ahead of your team-mate on one of the shortest laps is just a superlative performance. In the race he made the start and was just gone. I think I saw Lewis three times throughout the race. He was just so far gone.

FOR VALTTERI, I think there are questions to be answered from his side. Finishing nearly 20sec behind, one race after blitzing him in Monaco, that is a hell of a comeback from Hamilton. It just shows why he and Vettel will be fighting all the way to Abu Dhabi for the title.
