Poll: Canadian Grand Prix 2018, Montréal - Race 7/21

[Kanpai]

I think that's your bias speaking, there.

Crofty shouts out EVERY overtake and EVERY move as if it's the title winning move... the start of a GP is almost unbearable from all the SHOUTY voice.

It's not, few of my work colleagues have also mentioned the same thing who are die hard LH fans.

If Lewis won that race in the way Vettel did, they'd be spouting "masterclass" and the likes, that's the reality. Even at this race, they were still talking more about why LH is slacking than other teams post race.

 

[Bazzards]

They talk about things which are abnormal, given Lewis's performances at this circuit in prior years, it was expected that he would have been higher up, clearly this was not the case, so it was a talking point. Also, given very little actually happened in the race, there was little else to talk about.

They always praise LH and speak with people who bet on him winning. For instance, yesterday Damon Hill put the bet on LH winning.
One of previous races again several people said they bet on car 44.

The Sky F1 commentators are only excited when Hamilton/Mercedes are winning, it's so evident it's pathetic really.

They are biased as hell.

Says the person who gave the most boring race so far a 10!

Crofty is crap. Give him the boot asap.

They are supposed to be professionals. I wonder about the great British empire... Are they really so desperate and become happy only when their "önly" star LH wins and makes their days?
Can't they find other athletes who to promote and support?

At least, I am not commenting officially in front of thousands of millions of spectators.

And the race yesterday was indeed a masterclass from Sebastian, so beautiful to watch.
For a comparison to what he did, look at where Kimi finished.

Fan boys do my head in.
Quite a few on forum!

 

[Mr Jack]

Here in Germany the commentators get excited for Vettel. A bit of home bias is part of the commentary in pretty much every sport and country.

 

[Nasher]

OFC it is, why shouldn't it be. If you watch e.g. Brazilian sports commentary they go absolutely nuts for the home team.

From Kimi
"Well, not a lot happened, it was difficult to get even close enough to try to have any chance. I think everybody expected different but it was pretty similar story than last race. It was pretty boring…"

Fan boys\trolls are a sad part of F1.

TBH, I am happy to hear this. There are many fresh pilots who would love to take his seat. It is time for Kimi to just go.

"pilots" are you sure you was watching F1 and not some air show

So because Kimi said it was boring you think he should leave?
It was boring, Kimi just isn't afraid to say it.
Maybe it's time more drivers started going public with their true feelings more often.

No, it is his attitude almost always. I have never seen him being positive or not to mention smiling. He looks mostly negative, hence his comment that he shouldn't have said.
He should have said "I didn't try hard enough, the others were better than me", something in these lines.

In other languages, it is the true word "pilot', not 'driver'. Just my native tongue...

So the next race is a kind of a Tesco car park. Thank pixie god for Motogp

If you have ever met or worked with any Finnish men, you'll know this is pretty normal. The more eccentric likes of Marcus Gronholm and Mika Hakkinen are exceptions to the norm.

 

[this_is_gav]

The next race is pretty much a race around a car park so I’m not expecting much

Indeed, it's a flat, bland sea of track and run-off. It never was great in one of the most revered eras of F1 so I don't hold much hope for it with these cars!

 

[Merlin5]

Kimi is definitely a miserable git. He should be reminded he's in a very privileged position that thousands of people would kill to be in.

Well in quali he said a couple of things both with swearing over the radio, one of which was "Sorry, I ******* up" :to which channel 4's Steve Jones said "that's Kimi Raikkonen making full use of the english language."

 

[Jono8]

Well, that was even more boring than Monaco. How can Canada be as/more boring than Monaco!!

The cars just simply could not overtake each other here. In fact, i don't remember seeing many, if any on track overtakes.

Enjoyed Lewis calling out the cars for what they are in his interview.

Why did they pit Lewis so early? They pitted him basically with the Red Bukll's who were on the softer tyre and then Vettel and Bottas were going faster for a while after, so they should have kept Lewis out there shouldn't they? It seems like Lewis could have got 3rd/4th if they hadn't pitted him so early.

That was boring.

They had to pit him to fix a cooling problem with his car.
