Canadian Grand Prix

Looks like rain. Thought I heard during qualifying that the Mclarens were set up for wet weather, which explained their slightly slower pace. Did I imagine this?

Hope not, I'm getting well sick of Vettell sweeping all before him and Lewis has to have a great chance in the wet. Having said that Vettell ain't bad in the wet either.

Looks to me like the Macs are set up for proper rain, whereas everyone else is set up in an intermediate setting. During quali the Rad Bulls and Ferraris looked to be running closer to the ground than the McLaren cars.

Nope Icy, you heard correctly, this could be a very interesting race. Rain, slippy track and plenty of close barriers!! Carnage!!

Not the same since Stirling Moss hung up his boots on Thursday.

If it rains start to finish, have a cheeky little each way for Sutil on the podium.

 

[seven stands]

On to the next car race of the day, come on button

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Renault are also running a similar setup to McLaren, so might be worth a few bob on either Heidfeld or Petrov to be on the podium. Should get at least 20's.

 

[Frutos]

An eventful start, to say the least...

I think he is just putting himself under too much pressure therefore the errors, great shame

Needs to get some self control. He races every lap like it's the final one and is far too agressive, great entertainment in what can be a dull sport though!

 

[surrey jim]

Would have thought that was Buttons error. Hami clearly faster than Button down the straight and when he went to pass Button tried too late to close out

 

[Here's Johnny!]

Chuffing safety cars!

 

[nevergoagain]

How boring, procession behind the poxy safety car then red flag it !.

 

[Beach Hut]

Race suspended and Coultard is a complete cock in the commentary box, wish he would f*** off.

Not to worry top line up on BBC2 tonight - Top Gear, James Mays Toys then Coast

Very interesting. Vettel in the best car usually wins. Enthralling.

Agreed he's as boring in the commentary box as he was when he was racing, self righteous prig.

"oh yeah, I mean I work in F1, I'm with McLaren"

"Wow, really? That's so exciting! What do you do?"

"I, er, hold the umbrella over Jenson Button when the race is stopped"

"Oh."

 

[Taybha]

how long under a red flag scenario is the race declared a result ?

"Oh."

Not as impressive as the Ferrari guy who had a "whale" that he pushed up and down the Ferrari portion of the pit lane trying to dry it. He'd been doing if for hours apparently
