F1: 5 Talking Points from Canadian Grand Prix 2019

It was an awkward post-race podium after everything that had transpired in the race

#5 Renault is Back!

It was a great result for the Black and Yellow colored team

The Renault that has been promised ever since the pre-season finally turned up at Canada. It was the best of the rest at Canada but what stood out was Renault's speed in a straight line which is a clear indicator of the improvements that the team has been claiming about their engine.

Both the drivers were able to comfortably keep Bottas in a Mercedes behind them for a considerable time and while Gasly found it tough to overtake Stroll in a Red Bull, Ricciardo just breezed by him without much trouble. With this result, Renault jumps to P5 in the standings and just two points behind Mclaren. The result here is what makes the next raft of upgrades at France all the more interesting. If they work, it can propel them clear of the midfield which was the target for Renault before the season began
