In the round-up: Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari’s performance on the straights at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve showed Mercedes “have work to do” to catch their rivals.
What they say
Hamilton was asked what he knows about the extent of Ferrari’s super straight-line performance:
It’s not an assumption. You’ve seen in qualifying they’re three tenths or whatever it is, six tenths a lap on the straights they were able to pull out. And then in the race I know that all of a sudden they pick up a lot of pace in some straights.
But that’s the name of the game. They’ve clearly done a great job with their power unit so it used to be a point where Mercedes were ahead in that area by a good chunk and we’ve got work to do there, they are ahead of us at the moment.
