FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DU CANADA 2016: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

and yet...nico beat him...how many times was it in a row?? 7?? lol

and lewis' superior racecraft last year at Monaco asking to come in for new tyres and then sulking like a baby afterwards?? lol

get over yourself. you can't have it both ways.

 

Not talking about Ricciardo. Talking about the no stoppan da Verstappen

 

By far the most boring race of the year. NBC3 didn't even air it due to the cowardly a**hat in Orlando, and NBCSN aired golf instead of the race in the replay time slot. So...I downloaded it from the interwebs only to keep fast forwarding to stay awake.

 

Can't be sitting in a merc either since button smashed ham

 

lol

 

He braked super late to try to clear the Red Bull, its also possible his front brakes didn't have what they should of due to temps, the "the warnings are real." from the team radio. Whatever happened, he went deep and hard, and if he hadn't of made the attempt, there would of been no difference in his placing.

 

All I could see is 4 minutes on NBC's website was the start with Vittel head and then on lap 11 Button blowing up.

How did Ferrari lose after being in the lead?

 

Jackie Stewart raced in a car that he duct taped a wrench into the cockpit so he could remove the steering wheel because crashing meant you were trapped in the cockpit with 50 gallons of gas in aluminum tanks around you.

Hamilton would never race like that.

 

Thanks, saved me from looking it up!

It was 7 until Lewis superior race crafted himself right into Rosberg.

 

When Ham wins #4 this year the one upside I can see is the battle for championships with Vettel..who gets more by the time they retire?

 

lol..hahahaha

 

I watched the race yesterday, and i really appreciated Vettel's commitment and energy. It's just bad luck of the wrong pit call, and then the lockup, but the damage was already done.

I do realize that we are still on the backfoot, and I think Merc still have 11 tokens to play around, so they are not showing their hand yet. But the determination of Vettel, and the team, was something from the Schumacher era. I think and hopefully, we are one step forward now.

coming to the divas, i gotta say...Rosberg is a real wuss. He should have continued to hold his ground, even if it means Hamilton crashing into him. Nico is playing mr nice guy, and has been bullied by Hamilton for what...3 seasons now? What a joke. Then he whines to press about being 'pissed off'. Yea right..be a man and do something about it then!

Poor Hamilton had to understeer into Nico, and I think this is the second time he forgot about something called the brakes.

Overall, good race, but whats up with the Kimster? He looked lost..and not hungry anymore.

 

You forgot the last factor...he pushed his genuine challenger to the grass. That won him the race.

 

+1

Regarding Kimi, he lost extra time because of the stop when the VSC already ended, so a pointless 16 seconds there already...That said he was never on the pace of Vettel all weekend.

 

^^^ This post was reported, but I find nothing in it that contravenes the rules. There are no personal attacks, merely an unpopular view - if you don't like it, ignore it. Being a myopic Hamilton fan is not a bannable offence.

As an aside, toil: the car itself is a factor too.

^^^ Personal attack, 7-day ban.

We've already said many times in the past that piling onto a member for expressing support for an unpopular team or driver with the intent of running them off the site is not permitted.

I've tried to explain that multiple times in the past, but to no avail. Let me try a radically different approach:

If I applied a ban for every report on a positive/dreamy comment about a non-Ferrari driver, or a negative comment about a Ferrari driver, there'd be nobody here but myopic Ferrari fans who think the team and its drivers can do no wrong. What will we have to talk about then?

"Ferrari is the best!"

"NO, *I* THINK FERRARI IS THE BEST!"

"I thought Ferrari was the best long before you guys were even born!"

"Apart from not winning the race today, Ferrari did the best job out there."

"Mercedes cheated by building a better car with more horsepower."

"I agree."

"Nobody agrees more than me!"​

Maybe after that enthralling conversation we could all sing Kumbaya Ferrari on Cavallino-branded logs around the Scuderia-approved campfire while we see visions of Enzo in the smoke...

You guys are really going to have to grow a thicker skin when it comes to opposing opinions - even if those opinions are poorly informed or demonstrably false. Far too often when someone posts something pro-Hamilton, rather than either ignoring it as unworthy of your interaction or debating the point like informed motorsports fans, you either respond by immaturely calling the poster names and/or you come crying to me to ban him for not being a FERRARI fan on a FERRARI forum. I can't count how many times people have chosen to remind me in reports and PMs that I moderate on a FERRARI forum - thanks, gentlemen, I've noticed!!!

Seriously: buck up.

Sincerely,
Andrew.

Shumi and Ross would have taken the win yesterday. Vettel is not Michael but he's better then Elton, even with a sligtly slower car he could have won it but he needs a perfect pit strategy behind him, and this year Ferrari is not doing that.
Still it was a good race in terms of pace for Ferrari, if they can keep this up, they will get more chances to fight merc, and let's not forget, Elton closed the gap on barbie, but so did Seb!!

 

First you dont know that.

Second a safety nut like Stewart would have never raced without seat belts and real helmets and fire resistant overalls. So does that make Hawthorne the best British driver?

 

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

 

My comment was in regards to that we dont know whether Hamilton would have raced or not. I wasnt doubting the wrench story

 

No but it might make a few drivers of today think a little bit more before they do things like in Spain or yesterday because the chances being seriously injured would be much bigger. It looks like some of them feel to safe today...

 

Misunderstanding on my part

However..

When he entered F1, the sport was "horrendously dangerous," he is quoted as saying in Forbes. "There were no seat belts worn, the medical care was pathetic, and there was no firefighting equipment to speak of." Stewart witnessed the deaths of many friends and rivals during his racing career, Jim Clark, Jochen Rindt, and Francois Cevert among them. Like all F1 drivers of the time, Stewart was driving without a seatbelt when he crashed during the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps in 1966. He ran off the track while driving 165 mph in heavy rain, and proceeded to crash into a telephone pole and a shed before driving into a farmer's outbuilding. A ruptured fuel tank filled the cockpit with fuel, and could have ignited at the tiniest spark with Stewart trapped inside. He was extracted from what could easily have been a fatal crash, having suffered broken ribs and shoulder and rib injuries.

 

Who is making Ferrari's strategy calls? Jock Clear? Can we fire this loser? How did he ever get the job in the first place?

We have THROWN AWAY a minimum 3 races so far. Disgusting. Sad thing is, if Kvyat didn't take out Seb at Russia he would be right in the title fight...

 

Agree 100%. Rosberg is damn fast but Lewis is a little better overall.

 

i think, just methinks, according to TV broadcase onboard driving videos, i rate as follows

#1&2. Alonso = vettal
#3 hamilton
#4 roseburg

kimi is really old.....
