    RBR's hole in the floor deemed illegal, will be changed for the awesomeness that is the Canadian GP :)

    It is unlikely to affect the car's performance.

    Good to see Massa get some speed back into his bones!
    Also good drive from Webber. That said, Monaco is a shit race as usual.
    I dunno, pretty exciting to see those five guys all bunched up for the last few laps.
    Going to the race next weekend?

    Yeah but it's a parade every year, no matter how much talent is bunched up in a group ;)

    And no, I won't be there for the second year in a row :cry:
    I will be going next year whether the rest of my group goes or not!
    You going, or are you gonna try to hit Texas (should it go forward)?

    True, but its petty cool spot for a race!

    Nah, cant swing it this year either.

    Thinking about Texas, but Its Montreal that I really want to see. While Austin is nice, its no Montreal!

    Speaking of Texas, here is the new track, (F1 2012 Game)

    Decent race yesterday. Grosjean did 50-55 laps on those tires and they were still gripping at the end, which explains why Ferrari and RBR tried what they tried....didn't work out though.
    Obviously not the outcome I was hoping for, seeing that turd win, but hey, 7 different winners in 7 races is neat. I don't get all the BS about how it's bad for the sport, and definitely don't buy all the talk about randomness. Think about it, of the 7 winners, the only one who didn't fit the bill is a Williams. The other winners - RBR x 2, McLaren x 2, Ferrari x 1, Mercedes x 1....seems like the usual suspects!



    PS: Screw you Hambone.

    I love the track itself.

    As for the race, being a Ferrari fan....awesome race :P
    I don't remember seeing that much passing on the outside in a race before.

    Here is Hambone getting MaldonaRdo'd:
    They took down the original video ( :( ) so here is a worthy replacement:

    Hambone to Mercedes and Perez to McLaren next year, confirmed, wowsas!

    All money motivated, IMO. They haven't been competitive since Brawn GP and haven't really made strides despite how their car has looked in pre-season.

    No more Schumi (again).

    Brazilian bump

    Frightening, but I am rooting for Alonso.

    What a season that was!

    I already miss Schumacher,

    I also don't agree with Bernies on Schumi making a mistake coming back,

    http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/07/sport/motorsport/motorsport-ecclestone-schumacher-retirement/index.html
    "I would rather he had stopped as a seven-time world champion than stopping now," Ecclestone told the official F1 website.

    "People new to the sport -- people who have joined the F1 fan fraternity just recently -- will remember Michael now, not as he was.

    "They don't see the hero that he was but the human that can fail. We will miss Michael, because even though he wasn't winning races in those three years, he is still very popular.

    Quite a year. Was unhappy with the return to dominance of the RBR but at least McLaren was able to challenge them.
    Now the long off season, made extra painful by a lack of hockey.
