    I thought all the track trouble made a great race, even greater. I like seeing the drivers have to earn points like that. I think they should break more tracks up like that!
    Regardless, they should fix that shit before the Montreal GP is abandoned like Magny-Cours and Australia are about to be (for different reasons, mind you).

    Yeah, it definitely made for an exciting race but the drivers don't need that when they are commiting to acorner 100%. I remember from racing karts how easy it was for a track to need resurfacing.
    I only lied because it was the easiest way to get what I wanted.

    Hahaha, screw Toronto!!!

    Kidding. Toronto passed on the opportunity to get the GP and Montreal ended up with it. If anything, keep Montreal and add Toronto. The more the merrier if you ask me, although I definitely can't afford both (yet).

    This is the first time I've actually seen it.
    Looks like it is going to be a very fast track, with only one area congested with corners not too far apart.
    Kinda iffy on the racing in the dark though, we'll have to see how that turns out.

    I haven't heard that Texas wants one, but I do know Indianapolis is in search of sponsors and in negotiations with Bernie, and they have said two USA tracks is doable.

    Yes he is, but he's extremely arrogant (which is manageable) to a point that it interferes with his team and teammates (which is NOT manageable).
    And the whining, oh the whining...

    Ferrari domination. Bad break for Kimi.
    Pretty good mid-field battle throughout the race.
    Happy to see a red 1-2, although I was going for Kimi ;)

    What is wrong with Hamilton? He's driving like a nutter. I hope BMW get's back on track, they had a bad weekend.
