    btw, anyone see the new night street track in singapore? so far it looks sweet. gonna be a wild race I think.

    also I love seeing these F1 cars with no TC, i'm also kinda surprised to see kimi doing so well without it.
    Why the surprise?
    I haven't seen the night track yet.
    Ecclestone wants a few I guess to accomodate the European fans' TV schedule.

    well ferrari had some problems in australia, but both ferrari drivers have adjusted pretty well it seems

    I have not yet seen the singapore track. I will have to check that out.

    Also there was a decent article in Wired magazine about the scandal last year. Interesting read.

    Most likely (Indy owner and Ecclestone in talks). I think Bernie is open to more than one race in the US as well.

    They're searching for sponsors as we type.
    A street race in NY would be ridiculous (08-09 road trip!).

    Good read on the link you posted.

    Yeah I thought that was a good article. I did not know the whole thing blew up because of a copy clerk!

    Can you imagine a street circuit in NYC? Near ground zero and the statute of liberty? Now we are talking!

    Man that would be something and it could be exactly what f1 needs in the US.

    Donald, where are you, we need a Trump GP in NYC!!! Get your society types to make this happen!

    Better yet, why would a mechanic with no college degree be unsatified with a million dollar salary? ;)

    He got invited to the Ferrari Factory, dunno if they gave him an F car or not. at the very least maybe a pre owned 360 modena would be in order.

    I kinda like Massa but I don't think he will be able to hold onto that position for too long. I think Hamilton will also take position over kimi.

    I think it's going to be a good race. i'm stoked,

    Not much room for passing in Monaco. I think the Ferraris will be the fastest off the line too.

    Oops.
    Note to Ferrari: Rain + You = suck...

    Hamilton got to 1st on mistakes and once there blew everyone away! Good race by Kubica, tsk tsk Kimi.

    Yeah Kimi, sigh. What to say. At least the rear-ending was an obvious accident. Definitely feel bad for Sutil, he was putting in a good drive.
    Hopefully he puts on a good show in Montreal and we have a Ferrari 1-2.

    I just read an article with this quote about kimi from niki lauda. made me laugh
    ----

    "I cannot understand how the highest paid driver can have a race as stupid as that," former champion Niki Lauda – never one to mince his words - said in his role as a German TV analyst on Sunday.

    Yeah Sutil had his head down, probably in tears! poor guy.
    I really hope Massa beats kimi this season. I'm just not a kimi fan. I don't mind massa. Infact I kinda like him in that Ferrari. But I miss Ferrari with schumi.

    I also miss the mighty Schmuacher in the Ferrari.
    I do like Kimi, despite his time-to-time uninterested races.

    Incredible start by Hamilton, and the early pit stop probabaly won him the race.

    Very exciting race with the rain making it more interesting.
    Poor Sutil, I was rooting for him to get some points.

    NEXT UP
    GRAND PRIX DU CANADA!!!!

    See you there Ry!

    I was hoping to see the cars come in in the order they were in before Kimi took Sutil out, poor bugger.
    Hamilton raced great and you're right, the pit stop won it for him. The safety car helped too ;)
    And curses to the THREE LAPS under the safety car cause those lapped clowns wouldn't get out and pass....

    I was shocked to see David Coulthard out of the race. Blew my mind!

    See you in Montreal GR!

    Give me a buzz sat or sun. and lets at least say hello.

    looks like a wet race, which should make it interesting.

    One of the greatest races in recent history! Can't really ask for a better race.

    Well that was expensive, and 8-9 hours in glaring sun and 31° heat makes for a nice sunburn.
    Two of the best out on lap 12, and some good action to make an exciting race. Definitely a good trip.
    Sorry GR. I was looking forward to clankin' a 6 dollar can of bud (well no, not bud...)

    watching superboy blow it was one of the most exciting things I have ever seen
    Massa passed the toyotas right in front of me! Amazing.
    Very interesting when two of the three dominant drivers are out so quickly.

    what an event
    and montreal is an amazing city.

    no worries man
    next year!

    and by far and away the most expensive gear I have ever seen
    $160 for a ferrari shirt?

    no thanks.

    It was $150, and I look fucking great in it ;)

    It was $120 at the Puma store (plus tax). The merch was definitely over priced, but it was pretty much on par for most other sellers' prices.
    Also funny was that it went up every day over the weekend.


    I love Montreal, it's very depressing to have to come home...

    PS: Hamilton and Rosberg have both been penalized 10 spots on the grid for France in two weeks for the rear-ending in the pits. I was disappointed to have Kimi out of the race, but the excitement of being there and some of the awesome passes and wipeouts made it an excellent race. Good show by Massa, too bad his pitting put him at such a disadvantage.

    And 3rd place...that's what I get for bashing Coulthard all week long...

    hahaha it is a sweet shirt.
    Yeah I know about the penalty-probably cost hamilton the championship.
    Besides Kubica, Coulthard probably had the best race of all the drivers. I was rooting for Barichello, but he blew it with a bad pit stop and a driver error.

    Barichello also dipped hard in speed compared to practice/qualifying, I don't know what was up with that. Coulthard was pretty consistent throughout the race.

    I don't know if the penalty will cost Hamilton the championship, there's still 11 races left so anything can happen (as we've just seen ;))
