2008 Canadian Grand Prix - Race 7/18

[Stormrider]

Lewis and Nico on softs, everyone else looks like they are on harder compound

 

[knip]

That track is a mess!

 

[Stormrider]

on the coast? on a river you mean

 

[knip]

Yay Rosberg!

 

[Stormrider]

Quite a breeze blowing there the way the trees are moving

Live timing says about 15mph so yeah, pretty stiff.

 

[Lunatic Dreyfus]

Goooo Nick! I'd like to see Kubica do a move like that.

 

[rpstewart]

Eeeek that looked very edgy. There's next to no grip down there.

considering how much faster hamillton was in qualifying and thats he on softs and the rest on hard tyres, i was expecting him to pull away a lot faster than what he is.

Kubica is keeping up with him, but they're both a bit faster than kimi in 3rd

yeah kubica is doing well, i dont no whos loaded heavier with fuel though, maybe hamillton is carrying quite a bit more fuel?

who cares about the state of the track, it's the same for all drivers. Yes it shouldn't happen but as usual fat head and co blow everything out of proportion.

old days when tracks had bad surfaces (or too wet) drivers would adjust by either slowing down or trying different lines. now they just moan that its unsafe.

USA GP with 6 cars is a great example of this, Michellin teams could have still raced, and the main teams with the issue would have to drive through the corner slower, or higher up the grove. instead they all pulled out.

If the surface is **** go around it!

Piquet seems to have his toe down today, which makes a change.

indeed - all over the back of trulli

kimi seems to have his foot down now

 

[utajoker]

now thats an overtake, cant get past, just bash him out the way

 

[PinkFloyd]

Nice move Piquet! lol

 

[rpstewart]

Lots of brake dust coming off that Renault already!

He wasn't taking no for an answer there.

If that corner wasn't in that state I think they could've taken each other out there.

 

[Lopéz]

He hit Trulli hard enough to weaken a tie rod, they don't take impacts like that very well.

EDIT

Not to worry, DC is his next target, old squarejaw will soon finish that Renault off for him
