Canadian GP 2010 - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

[andrew]

Massa just met Schumachers left rear wheel and his front wing is hanging off. Shame for Massa. That's his race over.

[ecapox]

that was kinda bogus of Schumacher. [-X

Yeah, Webber pitted way too late. I think they were hoping he could get a 17 second lead before pitting him to avoid losing the place, but it backfired.

I am going to be interested to see if McLaren can actually get all the way to the end on those tires. They are looking pretty ragged, but there is a good lead between them and the Red Bulls. McLaren said they were not concerned about Ferrari, but just Red Bull.

Red Bull just told Vettel to keep revs down and short shift. Some kind of engine issue. His engineer almost sounded scared when he asked what the fastest lap was. "Don't even think about it"

[Herr_Koos]

Massa should know better... Just ask Hill and Villenieuve!

[andrew]

Vettel short fueled or are his brakes too hot?

Watching F1 races on FOX are painful. "He has been going around with that wing messed up for ages. Maybe we are looking to much into this aerodynamics thing."

Announcer was saying that it may be something blocking part of the radiator. No idea why they would think this, but I'll throw it out there.

my guess is transmission or fuel.

Seems that Red Bull strategy for Webber hasn't worked out to plan. The reactionary pits at the start scuppered any plan they had. Pitted for Harder tyres too often and got stuck with the poorer softs.
Vettel being kept back by a problem, had no chance of getting near the top.

Nico, ahead of Schumacher who has had a pretty bad race. commiting at least one bad move (moved twice on Massa and knocked the wing off).

McLaren are doing well. Button had an opportunistic pass on Alonso, when Alonso was stuck behind traffic and got poor acceleration.
They gained alot from the reactionary style pitting near the start.

Force India are doing well! They're car design seems to fit very well for the lower downforce tracks. Seem to pick up lots of pace compared to the rest of the teams. Can use lower downforce well.

The BBC1 commentary is worse than terrible. Radio 5 is so much better.

Could be. They had problems with Webbers gearbox but it was on its 4th race.

Vettel was short on fuel. He stopped on track.

[thestig84]

Vettel showed his immaturity today. Radio asking who do I need to pass to win? and what the fastest lap is when nursing the car home are pretty embarrassing really!

[WhiteBlue]

McLaren had the better tyre strategy.
Schumacher over agressive. That fight with Kubica cost him a lot of points.

Vettel was short on fuel. He stopped on track.

Was that the reason he stopped - not seen any info on BBC coverage. If not explicitly for fuel then he could also have stopped to preserve a component like the engine or gearbox.

I think someone needs to have words with Luizi.
