F1 : Grand Prix of CANADA!

by Lucstar88 Mon Jun 03, 2013 6:40 pm

Welcome Back F1, last time N.Rosberg won his 2nd race, & his 1st Monaco race like his papa.

Interesting Fact : Lewis Hamilton has 3 wins here while R.Grosjean has a average Finish of 2nd!!!

S.Vettal has a 21 point lead on Kimi.

Last Year, Lewis Hamilton won as I mentioned his 3rd @ Montreal.
The podium was filled with R.Grosjean & Sergio Perez

Race is Sunday

Two surprising names, Grosjean and Di Resta 19th and 16th. Grosjean will have to start last anyway with his 10 place grid penalty.

Massa crashes heavily in Qualifying, again.

Both McLaren's out from Q2, both Toro Rosso's into Q3, so is Bottas and Sutil.

Two-spot grid penalties for Raikkonen and Ricciardo over the violation at the restart of Q2 (not being lined up in the proper order).

He's getting old.

Maybe we should replace him with a person from some third world country for a large amount of cash.

5 cars finished on the lead lap.

Vettel was being Vettel today.

by Metro 6r4 Sun Jun 09, 2013 3:56 pm

I think all of the Motorsport events I've watched this weekend have been stupidly boring.

by Alta Sun Jun 09, 2013 4:20 pm

Race was really lackluster.

Vettel was fucking dominant.

by Alta Sun Jun 09, 2013 7:25 pm

Marshal was run over in the pits when they were towing Guiterrez's car back. Airlifted and in critical condition.

The story has since been updated to state that the marshal died. Sad day. Sad

Giedo van der Garde has been hit with a 5-spot grid penalty for Silverstone for the incident with Hulkenberg, which will make him the first driver in F1 history to start a race behind the Medical Car.

by Metro 6r4 Mon Jun 10, 2013 2:47 am

What a weird accident, RIP. The first death in 12 years as well.

Hulkenberg laps Giedo into the braking zone of the chicane, and moves to the outside of the circuit where Van Der Garde was. Would have blamed that on Hulkenberg instead...

And RIP to the Marshall who died, strange circumstances..

Good. He also chopped off Webber in the harpin before the backstretch several laps before.
Kiddies, Money does not equal talent.
RIP to the race marshall. Sad

Webber came from a long way back, can't blame it all on Giedo.

How? VDG made room for him on entry, Webber was right up alongside him, and they made contact on corner exit. There is no way VDG didn't know he was there.

Damnit F1! Why you have to be lackluster. > Neutral

The Van Der Guardrail - Webber wreck was all all VDG. VDG Came down big time and had Webber moved to the right any further he would've been doing donuts in the grass.

This is how I saw it: Giedo saw Webber approaching, initially makes way for him but believes Webber is too far away so takes his racing line instead, unfortunately Webber does make his way down the inside and they collide. Sure he was at fault, but I really don't think it is worthy of a penalty. Even worse, the penalty was given for the Hulkenberg incident which I 100% think is Nico's mistake.

by Rykia Tue Jun 11, 2013 9:07 pm

Maybe it's because this was the first full F1 race I've been able to watch this year, but I found the race really enjoyable. Vettel massacred the field though, and with good timing considering Kimi had another bad race. Was glad to see JEV run so well and Force India score double points in their 100th GP.

Webber was right up alongside him through the corner, though. Maybe he didn't know he was there - I'm still skeptical about this because Webber was scrambling over the kerb right next to VDG, but if so, that's still incredibly bad spatial awareness on VDG's part, and still worthy of a penalty. He's being lapped - a collision between drivers fighting for position is one thing, but a driver turning in on another driver's front wing, a driver who is lapping him - that is just inexcusable.
