MERCEDES DRIVER LEWIS HAMILTON TAKES POLE POSITION ON ULTRASOFT SETTING THE FASTEST EVER LAP OF MONTREAL
FERRARI THE ONLY TEAM TO GET THROUGH Q1
USING THE SUPERSOFT TYRES ONLY
ONE PIT STOP EXPECTED AS FASTEST STRATEGY FOR THE RACE
MARIO ISOLA - HEAD OF CAR RACING
“Today, we saw the fastest lap ever of Montreal that improved on the 2016 pole by more than 1.3 seconds: a remarkable difference given that this has been gained purely from traction, as there aren’t many big corners here. The times were extremely close in a thrilling session, just as we saw in FP3. The challenge in Montreal consisted of getting the front and rear tyres working in harmony: as the rears are normally working harder than the fronts. Hooking them up together was key to a fast time in qualifying. Montreal isn’t one of the races where pole position means everything, so the prospects for the grand prix remain wide open.”
