2013 Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada

[JGreens]

Great for STR. Happy for them. And Williams.

I'm happy for Williams, obviously.
I'm happy for mid-tier teams punching above weight.
I'm not happy for Horner's lackeys to be in a position to comfortably help Blondie and prevent a competitive race....

This is it

Bottas 3rd so far. Kid is good.

 

[Akira AC]

Great work by Bottas thus far.

 

[niky]

STR guys race there asses off. They deserve it.

 

[JGreens]

C'mon guys stop messing about...

C'mon guys stop messing about...

If it is wet Hamilton will be up there for sure.

 

[JGreens]

If it is wet Hamilton will be up there for sure.

I'm hoping so, I really hope so...

 

[05XR8]

Wow, Q2 was the best they could do so far

 

[JGreens]

C'mon hamilton!

edit: pathetic.

 

[Matty]

Bottas in 3rd? Wow!

 

[05XR8]

Bottas. Wow!

 

[niky]

Fingerboy on pole. Oh joy. Hamilton beside him. Double joy. Bottas third.

Bottas!

BOTTAS!

Wha...???

 

[Danny]

Great work by Vettel and Bottas!

 

[Akira AC]

Great job by Bottas.

Keeping the pace to some of the top tiers and end up there do deserve some recognition.

 

[Furinkazen]

Well done Vettel. Bottas P3!

 

[JGreens]

See you guys at Silverstone. This race is OVER.

Does this mean you're going away?

Is nice to see new faces on the podium, even if it is just qualification.

Brilliant quali but a shame Hamilton's final lap was a waste because he was never going to maintain that gap through the final corner, Bottas looked fast throughout quali and it will be interesting to see his approach to turn 1 from 3rd. Mclaren... that sort of thing was the norm last year so I'm glad Lewis escaped.

 

[Dr. P]

And now the press conference, the hardest part.

And now the press conference, the hardest part.

Let's see if Vettel can keep his eyes open for the whole interview, he always does that smug thing with his eyes where he blinks very slowly.

If it rains hard, Hamilton could win it. Could. But if it stays dry, he'll have a hard time keeping up with that Red Bull.

Good return to form for Lewis. But then, he's always been awesome in the rain.

BOTTAAAS FTW ,Great Quali for him finally a break for Williams.

 

[JGreens]

I'd happily forgotten about the qualifying, but, I've grown more realistic and less hopeful since. Vettel will just **** off into the distance, Bottas will inevitably finish 11th or worse, etc...

...I'll give it my normal five laps benefit, before leaving the race for my friends to text me about.

 

[IforceV8]

Did Vettel run out of fuel at the end of Q3?

 

[Peasantslayer]

I love the way Bottas was flicking the car into turn 2 but without suffering from any twitchiness on the exit.

If it rains hard, Hamilton could win it. Could. But if it stays dry, he'll have a hard time keeping up with that Red Bull.

Good return to form for Lewis. But then, he's always been awesome in the rain.

Potentially awesome in the rain and in the dry but in the crossover points between the tyres that's when he doesn't seem to be so fast.
