    How did Mercedes let that slip? It's small mistakes like these that bring down years of domination. Canada will throw up even more surprises (like last year), no doubt...
    Ferrari and Mclaren have splashed out their development tokens, the catch up is now on

    Honda and Ferrari upgrade Formula 1 engines ahead of Canadian GP

    Ferrari and Honda have both opted to use some of the Formula 1 engine upgrade tokens available to them ahead of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix. A technical directive issued by Charlie Whiting to all the teams confirms Ferrari has used three tokens and Honda two.

    Does however mean that Ferrari are onto their third unit whilst Mercedes are only just about to let there second one loose. I assume you can go back to the pre-upgraded engines to less power specific tracks at least.

    Autosport have suggested we may not see Ferrari's engine update until Austria.

    Sticking with Hamilton. It's Canada, right?

    Hoping the Ferrari engine has a bit more poke and give the Merc's a good run for their money!
    Normally, when Hamilton finishes here he normally wins...

    This is one of the races that could come down to tyre wear and strategy - it will ultimately depend on what advantage the Merc has in out right pace and the likely safety car. This could be a race that Ferrari could pinch......at least keep the Mercs honest. Aside from that I'm hoping for a gloves off ding done between Lewis and Nico.

    Look at that picture of Rosberg (with a face like pissed off Bulldog) spraying Champers in Ricciardo's eyes - Twitter would have exploded with abuse had that been Hamilton.

    Verstappen's being criticised by fellow drivers

    I knew this was coming. He isn't helping himself with his refusal to accept blame for the incident either.

    I mean when Perez and Maldonado of all people are looking at you like you're a dick, then you've probably been a dick.

    Haha a disapproving look from Pastor is the worst criticism.

    To be fair to Max his driving was the only highlight of that race.
