    I was going to say earlier that Massa has been driving on the limit to borderline reckless all weekend. 2 mins of madness coming up :D

    Did a quick search for news over the last week - the only thing I found was that he was being told to leave his dog at home. That's a bit harsh to refer to...:pac:

    Any motorsport events ive been too clearly state on ticket that no animals are allow within the facility. I dont see why hamilton should be treated any different.

    Brilliant for Bottas, hopefully he will begin to fulfil his hype from before he got the drive with Williams.

    Did Vettel not get a pole or P2 for STR?

    Well done to Bottas. He did a super job today.

    As for Lewis, it will be his fourth time starting from the front row this season. If he finishes in the top three tomorrow I will be very happy.

    As for Romain, he'll have to start in 29th ;)

    His manager is also the team principal Eric Boullier.


    Maybe that explains why he hasnt been given the boot yet.:pac:

    Kimi Raikkonen and Daniel Ricciardo have both been given 2 place grid-penalties for queueing in the wrong place at the end of the pitlane at the restart of Q2 after Massa's crash. They didn't line up in order of who got there first.

    I wasn't aware of that until I heard it on the BBC.

    Kimi to start 11th and Ricciardo 12th. Hulkenberg and Perez to benefit by moving two places forward to 9th and 10th respectively.

    Damn, too late to win the pics. I'm still gonna go ahead and say Kimi, Vettel, Alonso.

    As far as Brawn etc. goes, once Mercedes bought the team out it was only a matter of time before he was shoved out, pretty damn classless of them if this is how they're doing it though. If he's not out this time they'll always have it over him as well, "We stuck by him through the tyre thing... blah blah blah."

    Anyone catch Ross Brawn's phone number? During the segment on the Sky broadcast when Brundle was driving Hamilton in, Hamilton's phone rings and it cuts to a close up of the phone - with "Ross Brawn" and his phone number clear for all to see. Wonder will he get any prank calls as a result? :-)

    Race will be very interesting. Coming into the weekend it looked like a dry race. Yesterday showers were at 20-30% for the race, it's now hovering at a 50% chance. Rain looking increasingly likely at some point over the race. Canada always throws surprises!

    I thought the interview with Robert Kubica was good.

    He was very humble and very honest with the BBC too.


    Would be great to see him back in F1 at some stage in the future.

    Just incase anyone forgot...Kubica had a massive crash in Montreal back in 2007.


    He was lucky to survive that one.:eek:

    It hasn't been too noticeable because the Williams has been muck but Bottas has been keeping himself out of trouble much better than one would expect for a guy in his first season.

    I personally think Bottas is the next in the line of great Finnish drivers. Outqualified Maldonado 5:2 so far this season and we all know Maldonado can be quick. Bottas has also finished all 6 gp compared to Maldonado's 3/6 so he seemingly doesn't have Maldonado's ability to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    I agree, from what I've seen so far he seems very mature and quite a smart driver.. I think he'd be happy in this race with 3rd/4th/5th rather than doing a Grosjean and going for the win on the first lap.
