Good race overall. I'm surprised about the durability of the tyres, though.

Only five cars finished on the lead lap.

That sounds awful. I hope he'll make it.

Details will probably be worked out, but I wonder how much of it was due to to the extra pressure of not working under Safety Car conditions. Sounds like a silly accident at first, but they tend to happen for a reason.

Terrible news :(

I hope Sauber help Esteban in some way. I know everyone will say it isn't his fault, but deep down there'll be guilt.

What a sad news... those people risk their lives for us to enjoy the GP. How do we reward them? By posting pics on internet from that tragedy so the marshal's family and friends can SEE how he has died!!! :(

Yeah. I imagine it would play on your mind a lot, must be something that's difficult to come to terms with even though you can't be blamed.

Here are some facts from this race:

1. My curse work again.. Sorry Kimi. Worst race this season?
2. Seb dominating the race! but he isn't flawless, he did a mistake in turn 1, but he could park the car, have some coffee and back to the track again.
3. Pirelli! They absolutely changing the tyres... This is kinda a normal race, but it's of course giving RB advantages. Mercedes are helped too.. But Ferrari I think is not disadvantaged, their pace is still awesome. But RB got a lot stronger... Meanwhile, Lotus back as Lotus, and So is Mclaren have gotten nowhere in this race, they usually good in race pace, but today... no pace at all.
4. Pirelli want to write off T word news in this GP for sure. No teams discussing or mentioning about tyres anymore, it seems nomore of an issue.


I disagree that Mercedes suspension was made because they have tested Pirelli. I think, to make such a development of suspension, they need time, and I don't think a 2 weeks time in Monaco they would have managed to do so. It could probably made in this Canadian GP, but I think it's not the suspension, but the tyres itself is changed!

Pirelli need to erase their bad image in media. I can understand they might silently change the tyres. Make no fuss, and deny all statement that the tyres are changing.
I bet Horner will shut his mouth later after the tribunal... Because he would then realize that another WDC and WCC already at their hand. Everybody happy....? Not for mikahilv XD or any other Alonso fan :LOL:
