    Coulthard causes a lot of bumps or accidents, it's funny that he thinks he's so good, and annoying as hell that they spend so much time on him just because he's English.
    You want to focus on a GBR driver, Hamilton is a front runner, why not spend time on him instead! Stupid broadcasts!

    Then they cut off the interviews cause they ran out of time, but my local station overrides shows with golf....sigh....

    Yeah, I noticed they cut away when the gaps between leaders is more than 2 secs. A little more in car footage of the drivers that are putting up fast laps would be nice. Then show us what mistakes the slower drivers are making and why the ferraris just seem to fly past all the others. I think they have been taking steroids!!!!!

    You know they are trying to add some drama to races that can be boring once Kimi or Masa breaks out to a five second lead!!

    I guess it is good that we get to see Coulthard run into people or miss gears on turns letting someone else run into him...
    I did like the rear view camera on one of the cars - there's something about looking behind you at 150 mph that is pretty neat ;)

    Too bad, Im a fan of Sato and the honda racing teams
    My son is named Takuma-my wife is Japanese and its a fairly common name

    Oh well one less team on the grids might make for better racing.

    Rygar, getting close to the montreal race!!!!!

    Make sure your camera is going a mile a minute on the first turn on lap one, we don't to miss the pack going from 20 cars to 12 ;)

    Yeah debating whether or not to bring a good camera or the point and shoot.
    Probably go with the simple one since I dont want to lug around any gear.

    Cant wait. Praying to the gods for fine weather.

    I just bought a middle quality Fujifilm with 12x optical zoom. One of my party members is all about photography though so I'm not too worried if I can't get too many decent shots, and someone'll have a video camera too.

    And yes, sun and heat will be sooooooo great!

    Barely had a chance to watch, but Massa was impressive.

    Fisichella: "Bourdais and some of the other drivers put up the wall, it was not my fault." So Giancarlo ran into Nakajima, who was many car lengths in front, because the entire pack slowed down on the turn and didn't get out of his way. Ok!

    Wasn't the most exciting race. Massa maintained a good pace, Lewis had a lighter car the entire time and was on Massa's rear the entire time (daring pass at one point too) and Kimi woke up with 5 laps left.
    Kovalainin had some bad luck at the start (punctured tire) but his moving through the field provided some neat passing. His pit stops screwed him though, he had gotten himself back into the points but had, by requirement, to pit to put the softs on.

    Thanks for the recap.
    I saw that, scary. Fissy came in way to hot from what I saw.
    Yeah I saw hamilton pass, then I came back and Massa was running away.

    That was about all I saw, but it sounds like just enough.

    The rest was pretty much just keeping pace.
    Kimi turned it on with 5 laps left but Lewis kept ahead, and Lewis couldn't catch Massa after his last pit.
    LH went for a 3 stop strategy so his car was lighter all day and apparently the Mclaren's aren't too hot on softs.
