2014 Grand Prix du Canada

MASSIVE MASSA!

Vettel very lucky not to get collected by Massa on that.

Looks like Perez had a twitch, some issue under braking (his brakes were already on the way out) and, as he was going straight down the middle of the track, Massa had nowhere to go.

-

Daniel sounds absolutely shellshocked over the radio.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Imagine how big Daniel's smile is right now.

Probably visible from orbit.

 

[starknight97]

Just noticed button got 4th

 

[86Debris86]

Well then. How about that for a race?! An unfortunate finish but well done Ricciardo. Such a shame for Lewis too. Rosberg finishing will sting a bit.

 

[BHRxRacer]

Ugh. Couldn't he hold on for one more lap?

Great race. Didn't even blink. So much for 24 hours straight of no sleep.

 

[SagarisGTB]

Perez moved slightly left after braking very early. Bad luck for Massa.

 

[NotThePrez]

At one moment, I'm cheering for Red Bull. At the next, I'm absolutely speechless. What a finish.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Nice quiet P4 for Buttoninho*!


* Honestly, I don't know why I called him that.

 

[05XR8]

Awesome that It hasnt taken Danoel so long to rack his first win. Nice.

 

[CarBastard]

I couls see that happening, Perez has had a few early brakes, Massa was just unlucky to be there.


Shut up.

I won't. I admit, it was on the heat of the moment but he just plowed straight on Perez, there's no way he didn't notice Perez was having issues or that his engineers didn't notify him, and ended up bining the great race of both 👎. Brilliant way to "fight" for a position... .

Anyways, changing the subject, my heartfelt congratulations to Daniel Ricciardo! Great driving! I want to see that guy's smile!

Nico's tyres look brand new, shows how much the Mercs had to back off.

 

[Ninners]

Great job Dan, A deserving winner.

Lewis doesn't seem to have the luck this season. 2 DNFs have cost him 43 points to Nico alone, but that's racing.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Always like seeing a first time winner. Nicely done, Ricciardo.

Might as well hand Rosberg the drivers championship. Racing gods are hating on Hami with a vengeance.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Daniel sounds absolutely shellshocked over the radio.

I don't know what it is about the RB chassis but the drivers always sound like they're working a jackhammer.

Perez is just as guilty, having that wreck of brakes he should have given up the position during the straight, rather than pushing Massa into the edge at 150 mph.

I would call it a race incident, which is what happens when they are both pushing it into the limit.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

A Red Bull first and third...are they back??

 

[ZEROX]

Ricciardo is speechless on his win. I didn't expect it to happen sooner either.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

Did they show the crash from Vettel's perspective? That's what i want to see.

 

[GTracer98]

What a race, it was actually so exciting! I feel bad for Massa though, it looked like a podium at one point.

 

[DJW_GT]

So if Hamilton loses the WDC this year, it will once again be due to his overwhelmingly bad luck rather than any fault of his own, and that would be a massive shame.

I hope Massa's ok, that was a huge crash!

And Congrats to Riccardo, well deserved win. 👍

 

[WiiFreak]

Awesome race. 10/10 👍

 

[HKS racer]

Vettel had a huge amount of luck, good for him since the crash was nasty. Even Massa Perez are lucky to come out on their legs.

Ricciardo well deserved first win.

Shame for Hamilton, maybe he is thinking.. a German team a German driver... hmmm

Ferrari no comment.

 

[Lewis_Hamilton_]

Me thinks Rosberg had a whole garden full of shamrocks in his pocket today.

Interestng race all around for sure though.

 

[TenEightyOne]

I won't. I admit, it was on the heat of the moment but he just plowed straight on Perez, there's no way he didn't notice Perez was having issues or that his engineers didn't notify him, and ended up bining the great race of both 👎. Brilliant way to "fight" for a position... .

Nah, I sense a bit of Southern/Central American loyalty going on here...

I think Perez defended, Massa went for it, that's motorsport. Hell of a stop though :\

A Red Bull first and third...are they back??

Sort of... some other people were away

 

[sparkytooth]

That race was amazing, with the last few laps and Ricciardo's comeback at the end it had my dad and I at the edge of the seat.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

What's the bet that Christian Horner tries to frame this as genuine progress despite the obvious Mercedes failure? The Australian commentators are already trying to.

 

[axletramp]

Dat smile. Love it.

 

[05XR8]

Look at that smile.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Last time I heard this song some guy named Webber won at Brazil, good to hear the Australian Anthem again and for such a nice spirited driver.

 

[ZEROX]

Did they show the crash from Vettel's perspective? That's what i want to see.

Nope. They show both of the victim but not the lucky one.
