Another false dawn or a real chance for Ferrari?
Ferrari ended Friday in Canada first and second, while Lewis Hamilton ended the day in the wall. But this isn't the first time in 2019 when Ferrari's looked good when it didn't count then floundered when it did. Does it really have the edge in Montreal?
Another false dawn, or the real deal? That's the question from all Formula 1 fans hoping for a change of the stuck record of Mercedes supremacy that the 2019 season has offered so far.
The form book would suggest the Canadian Grand Prix second practice result is just an illusory oasis in a silver desert, but there are reasons at least to hope Ferrari can make a fight of it in Montreal.
