Canadian GP 2011 - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

I'd hate to see Vettel win again. We might as well call it a day.

Sometimes when I need go faster, I slow down, and my lap times increase. Lewis needs to listen to what DC just said.

HAM was one of the fastest men on the track there and seemed to be able to challenge pretty much anyone on track. Saying "zomg, you shouldn't try to overtake" is way over the top.

At the same time drive by the percentages, like Button in Monaco, and you will often fail to win. This is especially true when you don't have the fastest car.

Why red flag? It is so boring to watch a race like this. We've had races with worse conditions and the race went on. What's wrong with this stewards? I totally agree with you Wesley. It seems there is not going to be a new rain master with these red flags. We will have dry masters instead!

Look back at the picture of the kerbs being under water, then you'll understand.

You are right. My mistake, I went too far with that. But what's the point of starting the race under the safety car?

Zgred - please say you have a shot of the drains being pumped. That is a first for me seeing that at a race in nearly 20 years of paying attention to F1!

And you sir are a blatant fanboy. Care to explain exactly where beelsebob's analysis is so comical?

I think you will find that I have no favorite driver and that the exact opposite is true

So you care to only answer the first half the question, whereas if you'd addressed the second half it would have automatically answered the first.

Interesting stat - after the first lap, 10% of all overtakes in F1 this year have been made by Hamilton. He's had two unlucky races where arguably some moves were too optimistic and clumsy, but in others drivers haven't been giving him room when he's managed to get alongside. But that doesn't take away from the other 29 or so overtakes that he's successfully completed, which is way more than any of the other drivers.

see above^^^ I dont mind hammy but his fans are worse than the Shu ferrari fans that I may admit to being at one point.

Clearly shows they both chose to go left, Hamilton was committed, Button pushed him off the road (presumably unaware he was already alongside).

Lewis was 100% right to attack at that moment, Button should have given him space but can probably be excused because of the weather.

Button saw him from exiting the turn. I think Button, normally a weak deffender, just tried too hard to be a tough guy.
He moved twice, and ended his teammates race.

There is no excuse here. Shumacher (as good example, for a second race in a row!)
Did the proper thing, though it was more agressive.
Button knew he was there and he juked out of anger that he would be overtaken twice.

you are right he hit the wall faster than anyone

Big screw up on American tele at least, first race of the year shown on network (fox) coverage and all they are talking about is how this race is under safety car and that its too wet to drive...Also about the back to back red flags monaco and here it makes f1 look like even more of a farce to ignorant american viewers that watch 1 or 2 races a year. A disaster the fia has on their hands in my opinion with this joke of a start to the race, I feel bad for the fans their that paid money to watch the drivers waste the first 25 laps

And how many championships did DC win?

He wasn't even past Buttons rear tire it was a dumb move plain and simple.

how many did hammy throw away with stupid moves?

Well I think the red flag is fair enough, bvut starting nder the safety car and safety car when starting the rain? No way. I really do not enjoy F1 anymore, I dont know if there is any faker racing in the world

No one forces you to watch

Actually the FIA is making me not watch it. I enjoyed 2008 when I was follwing it very clsely, enjoyed the racing as it was, there was way more action on track. Since th new rules F1 became more and more boring.

I really cannot understand how you can even enjoy this artifical racing, I want the action by the drivers, not by stupid tires or a DRS that makes the overtaking so incredibly fake, I rather see no overtaking at all.

This is where Kimi would get some ice cream

You've got to love the sight of McLaren dangling from the rope
