I'd be mad too if I was stuck behind Spring-Head and not allowed to overtake until he does.

Sounds like BLDR's fuel flow meter is stuffed again. Odds of another DSQ anyone?

and penalty for Magnussen. :(

First live race I've watched this year. Bored. Mclaren's livery is awful. The cars are quieter than WEC which is surprising.

Hopefully it rains...

If you die in Canada, you die in real life.
For a man who had a bet on Pastor retiring first, that first lap incident was bullshit.

I love some of the onboard shots while they're coming out of the corners. You can really see them getting much more oversteer and having to balance it way more than last year.


fake edit: OH GOD ALONSO/RICCIARDO.

real edit: Ricciardo keeping Vettel very honest at this point. I wasn't sure about how he'd go against Vettel honestly, but so far I'm impressed.

You're pissing money away on Pastor retiring first. Now if you could predict which driver he's going to smash into and bet on THEM to retire first that might be good.

To be fair it wasn't much money on good odds, if only I knew who Crashtor's first victim would be.

Kamui in the top 10 is just darling to see.

gently caress's sake FOM, I'm sure you can schedule the pit radio and the pit lane interviews so they don't overlap.

Pit lane interviews aren't scheduled by FOM.

That'd be Sky then wouldn't it? Bleh.

On the plus side, not impossible for Kobayashi to get points if a couple more retirements happen. :3:


edit: man I hope that fuel reading is correct and Vettel sputters to a halt.

Coulthard should probably shut up about the Red Bull fuel sensor failure as being 'unacceptable'. We know you're biased as poo poo, DC, but just try to give things some air of credibility, please?

Never thought I'd see a Caterham dueling with a Lotus on merit. drat if Kobayashi hasn't lost his mojo. Grosjean must be spewing.

Is there a chance that the fuel flow meter is fine but the French electronics in the Renault engine are interfering and loving up the telemetry transmissions?

RBR has modified the fuel connection and sensor couplings to the device. It's mostly a problem of their own doing.
