2013 Canadian GP - Montreal

[iotar__]

It can be interesting: some fast cars outside top 10/15 some slower in the top 10. Overtaking possible but AFAIR it wasn't straightforward last year, this season though in general it's easier with a DRS.

I thought Sutil could get some nice result but FI's long run pace looks average. I don't see Merc winning in a normal race, a podium in mixed conditions at best. With Lotus' and Ferrari's positions it should be Red Bull's race to lose. Prediction from Lotus: could be 1-2 stops rather than 3-4.

Maybe 3 for Mercedes, Red Bull and 2 for Lotus, Ferrari? (Assumming it's dry ofcourse, btw do the drivers have any fresh set of inters remaining after qualifying? )

Speaking of it, any news on the weather?

Hamilton was 6-7 tenths up then messed up the final chicane. He said so himself.

He wasn't 7 tenths up, he was 2 tenths up.

Vettel was also green in S1 and purple in S2 in his final run but ended up 6 tenths slower than his pole lap. With the track conditions in S3, Lewis missing the final chicane was pretty much irrelevant...

May be dependent on where you take the reference point. I certainly saw 2 10ths flash up in the screen at one point, but that may well have been for the first sector.

No it was for S2. I guess he saw on his steering wheel on the big straight that he was 7 or 8 tenths faster than his time, so around 7 tenths faster than Vettel.

Looks like Andrea is syphoning off all the moisture in the air, I don't expect anything but a light persistent cloud canopy temperatures in the high 70's or around 22 C. No chance of anything but light rain just like I said two weeks ago.

Kimi should have known better. Every time he lines up his car there something bad happens.

any news about the weather?

what i have gathered from multiple sites is that it is gonna be about 8 degrees Celsius hotter than yesterday, so teams that have problems with putting the temp into their tires should be better..there is going to be light rain in a while...and its gonna continue to rain until 12 pm local time...the race is on at 2 pm local time..so it should be a wet start but the race will probably be dry with about 20-30 % chance of rain....that's what most sites say

not at the moment

[godlameroso]

The chance for rain is actually low, it might even be sunny at some point, it's a bit overcast at the moment and the temperature is slowly rising, like I said it will be around 22-28 C around race time depending on the clouds.

[amouzouris]

the chance of rain is getting lower by the minute, clouds are moving away

edit: its getting sunny
