FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX DU CANADA 2011: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

agreed. with a win hanging in the balance I wonder if Hamilton is now regretting blaming Button for their come together

 

He picked a bad time for an un-Button -like race...

 

Fabulous race, excellent. Hope the FIA does not mess with the results of the best race of the year and of Button's career.

 

Was that Epic or What?!!? Awesome Race. Hope they dont screw it up with post-race penalties.

 

Fox switching to Speed.

 

Yes maybe.

I'm sure Mclaren won't be complaining.

 

So when Button gets a 20 second penalty that will put him in 4th?

 

+1000

 

Yes it is and just another absurd rule of this form of racing.

Carol

 

Yep.

Even when the race is played during the day and I can actually watch it live, it's still better to download and watch the BBC version later

 

That was a fantastic race



Now go and hand Button the 1 minute penalty he so richly deserve for trashing Alonso off the track.

And pull Hamboneheads license for a few races as well.

 

Why should he? He had the momentum after Jensen's misstep, and Jensen put him into the wall. It's just a question of whether or not Jensen saw him (which Hamilton even stated).

I could swear he looked in the mirror and then jerked left...

 

They will let the result stand... typical British favoritism.

Button deserves a 40 second penalty at the least.

 

A Mclaren won SDC's head just exploded.

 

The two girls on the near right.....Oh! Canada!!!!

 

Yes, a lone gunman on a grassy knoll to ensure his assassination.

 

Speed now on.

 

Longest (and best?) F1 race ever

 

Button deserves to have the win stripped, but we'll see if it happens...

Great drive by Schumacher!

 

Speed just picked up the post race ceremony, though delayed a couple mins.

 

Vettel not happy on the podium.

 

Button is allowed to make 1 move to defend his position .. the question is whether it was dangerous & thus caused a collision. It's a tough call & more questionable than his collision with Alonso which I felt was a racing incident .. but it would be harsh to lose a win for an incident with your teammate

 

I hate to say it, but the Button/Alonso collision seemed more like a racing incident. They were racing into the corner for position and Alonso chose to pass on the outside (which he did). Jensen had the racing line, so it's a question of whether the stewards believe he had the right to retain it (although FA had already passed him).

We'll see.

 

Interesting race. Made or ruined by DRS?
