Re: I miss this guy winning races...
I've thinking it for long enough to consider that McLaren's just playing games. Their car is so radical that it looks like it doesn't fit the current standard designs of the other cars, more radical that F2012 I think. But it might be that they've just gambled to make this year's car radical to actu...

Re: Massa's pace in Canada
I was also curious. It seemed to be like he was forever overtaking cars but not moving up the grid I agree with you, it seemed like that. It was unfortunate however had he been close to the grid when he started I wouldn't be so sure about Hamilton's podium though. It showed on Friday long runs that...

2009 Monaco - JB Pole Lap, just hear the euphoria at the end of the lap. Forget Vettel's radio celebration, just hear Jenson Button... I hope McLaren turns around and fix that car. C'mon Martin do something!

Re: 2013 Canadian GP Race Theead!
Well, I got a question. Does the reason why Toto is saying "I hope it doesn't rain" - tell you that they're going to be very quick, or at least as quick as Ferrari and Red Bull for him to say that? - I mean where is this confidence coming from?

Re: True potential of 2012 Williams?
I do believe that Botas is good, indeed very good for a rookie, however we all gotta to admit, today he was lucky that's all. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it, he got spot on to the best time possible and snatched that third place. Had it been dry, I don't really think he'd be in Q3, but as far a...

Hypothetical Idea about Hamilton's loss of P2
I just thought maybe that the team agreed before hand that whoever gets first after turn 1 will be the one to get the priorities and should not be attacked.

You can't blame anybody for crashing, such is racing, 280 Kph in such narrow streets... If you'd count that, then Hamilton would've been 2nd, and Mercedes would've be in the 3rd place on constructor's table.

It's still a long way to go, but I'm confident that Vettel will take the Championship.
