2013 Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada

So, who's watching Sky or BBC? Sky's just lost my viewing...

 

[Furinkazen]

BBC. What did Sky do? Show a Red Bull?

No, worse.

Horner talking Bull.

BBC are showing a segment of Hamilton & Sir Stirling Moss at Silverstone with Einaudi backing music. Says it all really.

 

[IceMan PJN]

It's dry. Bottas is going backwards, dude.

I would like to see an underdog do well, but I have to agree that, realistically, there's just no way he is lasting up front.

 

[Furinkazen]

So what? It's Horners team, he is entitled to talk about it. Shut up with your biased campaign seriously already?

Enjoying the Lewis / Stirling featurette.

 

[Centura]

Fantastic piece with Sir Sterling Moss and Lewis Hamilton.

EDIT: And then they ruin it with Eddie Jordan talking to strangers*.

* Celebrities I don't give a **** about.

EDIT 2: Sigh. I wish DC was doing the grid walk.

His words were
"It's not like the Schumacher era"
Which is total bull.

But yes, the Lewis/Stirling was brilliant. Anything for five minutes of classic footage...loving the wheel comparison. I wonder, did they ever get a choice of wood? I'd love teak or cherry wood myself.

Bottas can win the race. It's entirely possible. Does the Williams have race pace? We shall see. This may be Williams best shot at this track, in these conditions with this qualifying result. If he doesn't get a wing or wheel clipped in the first full laps and quick pit stops. We'll know when the lights go out.

How much have you had to drink?!

 

[Peasantslayer]

James May on piano?

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Bottas should be quick away from the line with higher downforce but will get mugged on the straight every lap that it isn't raining.

 

[JGreens]

Oh dear, Eddie Jordan needs a map. Austin is closer to Mexico than Montreal. Fool.

 

[Yukon]

Classy drivers parade.

They did the same in Spain, I've got pictures of every driver!

Watch out for Massa, Di Resta and Grosjean coming through the gird...

I think there was a great deal more pressure on Hulkenberg as a) He started from pole and b) It was the penultimate race of the season and he hadn't secured a driver for 2011. The pressure clearly got to him as he spun out on the formation lap at turn 2. He then took turn 2 more carefully on the race start and he got mugged left right and centre by multiple drivers.

Bottas is starting 3rd, in a car much less competitive than the 2010 Williams. He has plenty more chances to prove himself this season (It was funny seeing the look on Susie Wolff's face when he came home p3; joy with a strong hint of disappointment, knowing she needs him to do badly to secure a drive for next year). I think all that is expected of him is to come home in the points, which I believe they are capable of doing. Their problem all year has been qualifying. Much like Toro Rosso, they can sometimes match the frontrunners on pace but are too far behind to do anything about it.

Replies like this makes watching the race more exciting for me. Ill be watching to see if things play out the way we think, makes for very exciting entertainment! 👍

Well, it is 3:53am here in the down and under ha!

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Watch out for Massa, Di Resta and Grosjean coming through the gird...

And Kimi and Fernando from less far back in cars that should prefer these conditions.

 

[JGreens]

Mr Montreal for the win today with Alonso second & Kimi third please!

 

[mattythedog]

I was sorta hoping for rain. I just hope Vettel doesn't fly off into the distance.

 

[Brutaka]

Any good live stream links i can't find any.

 

[JGreens]

I've heard NBC are showing the race live?

 

[lbsf1]

Can any locals give us an idea of what they expect the weather to be?, some internet sites say more that 50% chance of rain whilst some say none.

 

[joetruckv8]

I've heard NBC are showing the race live?

Yes I'm watching the NBC HD channel in drivers are completing their pace lap now now! Can only watch F1 is Steve Machett & David Hobbs in the booth'

 

[05XR8]

Well, there you go.

 

[JGreens]

That's it Alonso!
C'mon HAMILTON.

 

[niky]

Well, that was quick. Go Bottas! We still believe!

 

[joetruckv8]

Well, that was quick. Go Bottas! We still believe!

Yea 2nd chance earlier pit stop then rivals for track positioning!

 

[JGreens]

3 seconds already!

RAIN. WE NEED RAIN.
Get the people in the stands to throw barrels of water on track, if necessary FFS!!!

 

[PeterJB]

Well, can't say I was expecting him to gain any places.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Bottas lost 3 places in the first lap!
