🇨🇦 CANADA SPRINT QUALIFYING THEORETICAL LAP TIMES:
Mercedes translated their advantage into a front row lockout.
The data had Ferrari as Mercedes’ closest rival, but McLaren executed better when it mattered, locking out the second row ahead of both Ferraris.
Red Bull’s projected struggles also translated into reality, with Verstappen only P7 and lacking pace across the lap.
Meanwhile, Racing Bulls confirmed their impressive theoretical performance by putting both cars into SQ3.
Big takeaway: Mercedes had the outright pace and McLaren maximized execution.
