It feels like something we’ve been saying for a long time, in all honesty.
It's sort of come from nowhere, But maybe not a surprise with the upgrades we’ve been bringing.
Mercedes have been saying for a while that they felt they had finally found the right path under the new regulations...
The Briton delivered with style around Montreal’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
We are the favourite at the moment because we have the fastest car and I was feeling great behind the wheel.
We brought these upgrades to Monaco, which has been a really challenging circuit for us in the past, and we were 0.1secs from the front row and we thought going into Montreal we had a shot here.

The author uses the phrase 'vanished' multiple times to describe Lewis Hamilton's feeling with his car in qualifying. This is an example of emotional manipulation as it creates a sense of mystery and intrigue around why Hamilton performed poorly in qualifying. The author also states that 'the grip just disappeared for me.' and 'I had easily half a second advantage in FP3 and that was gone.' These statements are examples of selective reporting as they only report details that support the author's position, implying that there was something wrong with Hamilton's car during qualifying without providing any evidence. The author also states 'Asked if any changes had been made to the car, he shook his head and replied,
I had easily half a second advantage in FP3 and that was gone.
The car had been feeling great all weekend... but that kind of vanished for me.
The grip just disappeared for me.
