    "FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DU CANADA 2012" Weekend Thread... (SPOILERS!)

    From the twitter:


    Will Buxton ‏@willbuxton
    I don't know if I have ever seen rain like this. It's like being in a waterfall. High winds, plant pots, hospitality structures blown over.

    Apparently not.

    Incredible Q3 yesterday, hopefully there will be some circumstances coming up today though that will mix things up.

    Should be great race providing the spectators can get there. Hope there's not too much disturbance from the assorted idiot protest groups.

    Looking forward to this to wash down last nights great Texas IndyCar race!

    Cleanest start I've seen in a long while! Crowd seems unaffected by the threats of disturbance. That's good!

    Hamilton past Vettel after pits!! I figured this race would be boring with Vettel being on the pole and what not.

    Don't think the students want to screw with race fans too much....smart move

    Call me crazy but I'm starting to question the Red Bull car and Vettel. Seemingly unstoppable in qualifying but it looks to be below than average when it comes to overtaking and such.

    Very true. And it's something Vettel isn't nearly as good at as his closest competitors are.

    This sequence around the 20th lap has been incredible!!! Amazing lap by Alonso, then an incredible outlap by Lewis!

    I'd like to know how Kimi made his tyres last that damn long. It's crazy.

    Schumi literally has the worst car in the field. How many DNF's has he had this year because of something mechanical?

    All the (bad)luck seems to come Schumi's way.

    Maybe karma is evening things out from his Ferrari years.

    How is it Varsha, Hobbs and Machet (sp?) can explain very basic bits of racing without talking down to knowledgeable fans?

  23. #23
    It's not a F1 race unless Schumi's car breaks and McLaren beefs a pitstop.

    Can Alonso make those tires last 'till the end? I think he's going to try!
