Canadian GP 2011 - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

[djos]

There were a few of those in NASCAR though weren't they? I seem to remember some form of touring/stock car racing there in the wet.

yeah Aussie NASCAR driver Marcos Ambrose would have won the 2009 race in the wet had he not be done for speeding in pit lane (his wiper failed and he couldnt see the line marking the start of the pit lane speed limit) and iirc Ron Fellows won the race after it was called off a few laps later due to the NASCAR pussies not knowing how to drive on a wet surface!

When was the last time there was a wet race at montreal?

i can't remember one.

IIRC it was 2000 (with barrichello escorting schumacher in the rain even if he had been able to close the gap on him)

good shout - completely forgot about that one. Was quite an interesting race.

Why are they all driving with "white" tyres? I thought it's Soft and Supersoft this weekend.

I'm also puzzled ? ! Experimental tyre, lack of yellow paint..wtf?

Now Ferrari is on soft(yellow)!

[spadeflush]

Confused me as well.Maybe they are testing a new hard compound.The tyres are gonna be WIP throughout the season.

Vettel has smashed into the wall of champions!

[JohnsonsEvilTwin]

Cameras at the ready....expect the car to be lifted.

[Mr Alcatraz]

We have a winner

[myurr]

Wonder if Red Bull have any of those new front wings, or if they'll just take Webber's...

haha! ,

white marked tyres: medium experimental

pretty much flexing fw...

[myurr]

Ah, Ted reports that they have one more new front wing.

[Mr Alcatraz]

Vettel just kissed "The Wall" I wouldn't call that a proper hit

[dave34m]

I can see a few drivers getting the braking completely wrong for the chicane and either cutting the chicane or smashing into the Wall of Champions (and a few others).

To be fair – getting the braking wrong doesn't generally get you into the wall of champions, it instead gets you skiting across the green run off on the inside. What parks you in the wall is getting the acceleration out of it wrong after getting the breaking right.

57 min: Replays show that Vettel locked up his right front under braking for the chicane and he lost control of the car, bouncing into the wall on the outside.

Sometimes its the braking!
