I hadn't even looked at it that way. But indeed Hammy might have a lot of fans in Montreal as he has won there a lot....
But if it's true that such thoughts have played behind the scenes, that's a really shitty thing.
I mean, although Montreal is Canada and not the US, it's very close to it. So for a US team like Haas, who is one of the worst funded teams (they used to have Uralkali of course as main sponsor, but after that Haas probably had to fund the bulk themselves. Luckily they now have Moneygram), having good results so close to home is very important (they also had good results in Miami). So putting a Haas car lower on the grid in favour of a Merc car that has unlimited funding (that 135m budgetcap for them is a hassle, but for Haas it's a target) is a very hard blow.
