I was observing the race and those truck drivers drive those machines far too quickly IMO. Talking like 8-15mph

Interesting. Vettels lap times are in parrallel with Alonso which would suggest he was racing him all along

Updates from Montreal: Canadian Grand Prix - Technical Analysis please log in to view this image Red Bull front wing was equipped with small vertical guide strakes on the mainplane and secondary flaps strengthening the vortices created by the wing. please log in to view this image There was also a nose redesign to reduce front downforce whilst improving rear downforce. This was a track specific change with the major changes being the FOM cameras, under nose bulge and vanity panel changes. please log in to view this image You may miss the flo-viz paint job but it seems RB were looking at the brake duct fins last weekend as well please log in to view this image The Ferrari's had different parts on throughout the weekend. They to seem to be working on airflow and vortices around the front tyres. This was achieved by a radical design change to the cascade. Previously attached and utilising the endplate for increased aspect ratio the new cascade features a curved element that sprouts from the mainplane. This enables a clearer airflow to reach the tiered outer section of the front wing increasing its efficiency and ability to shed organised and strengthened vortices. please log in to view this image Having utilised scoopless front brake ducts this season Ferrari added a cooling inlet to cater for the high temperature and braking demands of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. please log in to view this image This cockpit wing is something we saw both Sauber and McLaren utilise during 2012 when they made alterations to the length / orientation of their 'Coanda' exhaust setup. The cockpit wing acts as a leading edge slat enabling the sidepod to work over a wider range, thus enabling an alteration to the length of the exhaust and surrounding bodywork. please log in to view this image Mercedes introduced a new engine cover for montreal, reminiscent of the Ferrari design it features a much smaller cooling outlet and in order to align with the dimensional aspects of the engine cover it tapers into a shark fin. please log in to view this image William brought a new front wing which is a much closer example of those used on the FW34 than the options used so far this season, encouraging outbound vortices to control the tyre wake. The nose sees the team lower the tip significantly compared to the high one used so far this season effectively changing their original ethos of driving as much air under the nose as possible. To make use of the additional vortices created by the front wing, the team added a perforated floor scroll. please log in to view this image Sauber introduced a new nose with a higher tip and a much deeper 'Pelican' bulge. please log in to view this image Toro Rosso, like Williams, sported a rear wing like its previous iteration for the 2012 Montreal GP. Like its sister team the Faenza outfit has now also added some cooling around the rear suspension that also aids with the airflow into the Coke bottle region.
