Canadian GP Practice **spoiler**

Just about an hour to the beginning of the weekend's activities. This circuit certainly provides much challenge - slow corners, quick corners, long straights, heavy breaking, low drag, low-> medium downforce, definite break wear -> heavy use on rear tires, engines running full throttle 65% of the time.

Add to that the new aero spec and seamless shifitng for STR, Lewis desiring his first win this weekend (as he said, there's opportunity for passing here), Ferrari saying they are back on track, Renault preforming somewhat better, Williams and BMW making better their appearances and other plethora of things, this should be a good one.

As we all know, practice is just that but it becomes competitive when circuit timing comes into play. Hoping for two good practice sessions today. (Ya'll carry on for this first one - I made an appointment to get more red highlights on my blonde hair at the start time of the first practice session - what was I thinking?!?!)

i'm really looking forward to this race!! after all the excuse making in Monaco, i'm all too happy to see them race in a place that as Carol says "This circuit certainly provides much challenge - slow corners, quick corners, long straights, heavy breaking, low drag, low-> medium downforce, definite break wear -> heavy use on rear tires, engines running full throttle 65% of the time."

there's room for passing and good racing! it'd be nice to see a Ferrari 1-2, and a Hamilton 3rd......I'm hoping to see big things from LH!

 

Red highlights...you must be pulling for RedBull?

Ralf is really flyin!

 

So is Speed.

Amazing to see how some management pressure helps in lap times.

 

Is qualifying Saturday on SpeedTV or on Fox, and please, at what time?

 

haha...

 

Uhhhh? He was 16th.... freakin' Sato was 11th....the best of the backmarkers

 

Speed went back and forth.

I'm probably the last person here to defend Speed, but he is showing some improvements recently. Would be nice to see him do well on North American soil.

 

ur not alone Andreas. i think he has shown some effort too, and i think in Monaco, he deserved a point.

Interesting how both Ferraris were close in Sector 1, yet they flip flopped in a basically similar car in Sectors 2 and 3.

 

Why is Rosberg sitting out the session?

 

they're the fastest in the speed trap tho..

 

Damn... anyone watching P2? Not the safest of things to be on a racetrack...

 

haha that thing almost got ran over!!! too funny!

 

+1

I am impressed with Speed's improving form over the last couple races. He certainly appears to have Liuzzi's number, for whatever that's worth.

 

Did anybody see the animal that crossed the track and was almost hit by Ralf Schumacher?
