Jenson Button has won his 10th GP of his careers after a magnificent drive. He passed the pitlane 6 time and went through the field, pushing Vettel until he made a mistake on the final lap. Vettel still ended in second place, ahead of his teammate Mark Webber.
If this is accurate and at the rate that cell is moving they will start on inters or possibly dry. But more importantly to the start the clean side will have lost any advantage it had before the rain....No?scarlet wrote:Rain radar: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar/in ... tml?id=WMN
Looks like there will be a big shower very soon for an hour or so but should pass just before the race starts.

Just a waste of 2 or 3 laps of racing. looks like inters at best maybe full wetszgred wrote:
Nope, a team can choose to start a car from the pit lane and removing a car from parc ferme conditions. Case in point, Hispania at AUS and BAH last year and for a more moot point, in 2007 at the European GP at Nurburgring, in a Spyker-Ferarri, Markus Winkelhok led a lap and over took Kimi on the track legitimately on lap 2. Thats one of the best races ive ever seen in F1 and still love to watch it.ringo wrote:The race has to start first and be red flagged no?
I think on wetter conditions, teams need to be more aggressive.marcush. wrote:I´m constantly amused why teams who do not stand a chance of winning or even getting a points finish always seem to err on the conservative side.ESPImperium wrote:Im surprised that a team lower down the grid isnt thinking about taking a car out of Parc Ferme and putting it on a full wet set up. If i was Hispania id be taking Karthekeyan for this, Virgin should do it with D'Ambrosio and a team like Team Lotus could do it with Kovalinann as well. To Be Honest, if i was Sauber id do the same with De La Rosa as well, take a gamble and see what goes on.
Other than the fact that the Mercedes, McLarens, Rubens, Glock and posibly the FOrce Indias as well, who arrear to be on more of a hybrid set up for the wet and dry conditions, i can see this race being about pirouettes and being about how well the cars driver can keep the car on the island. At least the brakes wont be as much of an issue now.
If I´m last anyways i can constantly remove my car from parc ferme and work on setup ,I can participate in Q with one setup and race with another if this makes sense.Track position is not really an issue here.
But then Glock admits to not even trying their Canada configuration (!) but instead playing all cards on a highdownforce setup in the hope to make the tyres last longer(!)he did not really say they had a full wet setup.
And I don´t understand why teams are not splitting their chances .
Algersuari has done just that. He is starting from the pitlane. Could be interesting!marcush. wrote:I´m constantly amused why teams who do not stand a chance of winning or even getting a points finish always seem to err on the conservative side.ESPImperium wrote:Im surprised that a team lower down the grid isnt thinking about taking a car out of Parc Ferme and putting it on a full wet set up.
