Montreal GP

This weekend for Montreal, wish I was there. Haven't been for a few years. It's one of the best as the city is great with easy access to the track, and usually provides a entertaining race.

Once again, IMO, all eyes will be on Mercedes with Ham and Rosberg gunning for the win.

I've always been a Ham fan, but last race was not a good one for him. He behaved
childishly and didn't do his reputation any good. Sulking all weekend, get over it.

Practice 2 on right now, (I hour remain) good battle up front between the boys at Merc. Close behind them also. Should be good quali tomorrow, and hope for a barn burner on Sunday.

Good tense quali, usual suspects up front, let's see what tomorrow brings. Mostly good races here, with lots of action and a safety car or two to spice things up. I'm thinking Ham for winner.

Whoever is doing the camera work and directing for the F1 TV feed is doing a terrible job. Cutting away from a critical pass to either a commercial/promo spot or panning away to a shot of the crowd.

I won't spoil it for anyone, but if you missed this race you missed a great one! Unbelievable from beginning to end.

Good Race.

Great Race!

Whomever thought that getting rid of Varsha and replacing him with Leigh Diffey was a good idea needs to be fired.

Bad luck sure does seem to favor Hamilton.

Bloody Hell. NBC switched channels for the F1 and the DVR didn't record it.

Watched the last half though, so I saw most of the action.

Good stuff!

I've been watching it on one of the Spanish channels. ..... Can't stand the following. ....

1...... lee diffey
2.......nbcs split screen commercial bs..
3.......I have a 4:3 aspect tv.... Their feed was zoomed in and chopped up so couldn't read the stats. ...
4.......They run a nearly 2 minute delay which kills any feasibility of using the live timing and scoring app.....

+1. Wow is right. I think Massa had brake fade or probably brain fade, since he was able to lock the FL after clobbering off the FR on Perez's car. Dumb.
