2014 Canadian Grand Prix - Montreal

[hollus]

Damon Hill: 7.990.000
Obviously a driver much superior to Vettel

Jim Clarck, 25.900.000
Ayrton Senna, 6.100.000
Even Johnny Herbert scores well!

I think the "british driver" correction factor is something like 4x!

It's like you guys have never heard about Google's search bubble before...

Not sure about Mercedes at the front, but it looks like it's going to be an interesting brawl for third to eighth.

[dren]

I think Hamilton still has the edge here unless something goofy happens during qualifying. Third will be interesting. The Ferraris look to be in a good spot and Williams looks a bit improved. I don't know where Red Bull really is at the moment. I'd expect them to be in the mix for 3rd but hard to say.

Yeah Vettel suddenly pulled p.3 out of the bag, albeit at a later time then the other ones when the track was more rubbered in.

BBC reports that Kimi ran with the new floor and Alonso was using the old one in FP2. Is it true? If so, then Ferrari 'might' have a little more pace in the hands of Alonso than what we saw from Kimi in FP2.

Either way looking good than any of the past races for Ferrari.

[Ninners]

Yeah, Ferrari were back to backing them with both drivers. Kimi ran with the old floor in FP1 and the new one in FP2 while Alonso ran it the other way round.

I think Williams have got a lot of potential for this weekend as this track should suit their car more than others.

Lewis looking strong as expected.

[sAx]

I guess it shows he is clearly the most talked about driver. With probably the most fans too by the looks of it.

Significant proportion of -ve comments on F1T favour a synonym for spoiled ie. 'Lewis Hamiltoned' coming to a dictionary near you sometime soon!

Maybe Nico will park it on the run off outside of the hairpin this time round

And still avoid a penalty

No no, the wall of champions - definitely sounds more realistic. They're not gonna erase his previous lap for that, are they ? He pushed, and went into the wall. All he needs to do is somehow pull together a faster banker than Lewis like he did in Monaco. That's a bit of a problem here though for him. And all Lewis needs to do to prevent that is to make sure he pushes hard enough on his banker lap. Or maybe - just maybe - he shouldn't. See, that's how the mind game works.

Pole isn't quite as important in this race though so I can't see either driver taking undue risks to secure it.

On a separate note I think Ricciardo was carrying quite a problem with his car as he's 10kmph slower in a straight line than Vettel. So he should rebound tomorrow.

? It may be slightly easier than on other tracks (I was betting on Rosberg pulling it off) but still for Merc drivers it means almost winning the race (+ lead after start of course).

The rest (3-10) might be interesting, based on lap times Williams (Massa) look all right, was he on different tyres than everybody else?

Funny because the founder and the server are both belgian.

I think Great Britain is represented over here, but I also believe it isn't dominant like f1fanatic.

Anyway, this is Lewis territory. He should have the edge in both qualy and race. If Rosberg does beat him on merit in Canada, then I expect the remainder of the season to be very close between them with neither having the upperhand. But Hamilton will probably be his own primary opponent in this race.

[Waywardism]

I think he'll win by a good 10-15 seconds, with 3rd place falling some 30-40 behind Rosberg. Who'll bag 3rd? My money's on Vettel, I said at the start of this thread that I thought he'd beat Ricciardo here and I don't see Ferrari challenging Red Bull in the race. Time will tell, I can't wait to see it all unfold.

Not sure of a "fumes" run, he was consistently close to the Mercs and it comes on the heels of a promised "spec B" car. Also when HAM flatspotted tryin to put ALO in his place, he was only .13 up.

i too hope tht ur hunch comes true..tht vl bode well for the rest of the season.
