I just received my paddock pass for Canada. Yeehaa! Came all the way from Monaco. Didn't know F1's office was there.
Getting the tickets definitely is. As for them being Paddock tickets, that's a new feeling for me. Man, I didn't know they even have a dress code there. So I won't be wearing my #33 t-shirt...
Since ABC instead of ESPN will be carrying the U.S. broadcast I assume this means we'll be back to commercial interruptions....

I think I just figured a new carrier path for Lance or RoGro........ Pace car driver for the Indy Car series as the pace car driver just hit the wall
Honda tipped to make 40hp step in Canada Published on 04 Jun 2018 10:13 Honda will take "a considerable step" this weekend in Canada. Like most of the engine manufacturers, the Japanese carmaker will bring an updated 'power unit' specification to the Montreal race. Rumours suggest Honda's step forward will be as much as 40 hp. "I don't know the exact numbers. I think it's better to ask someone from Honda or Toro Rosso," said Toro Rosso driver Brendon Hartley. "But I think it should be a considerable step," he is quoted by AS newspaper. Teammate Pierre Gasly said he is looking forward to Honda's power boost. "I will wait until Friday to see exactly what the difference is," said the Frenchman. "Sometimes in formula one it doesn't go as you expect, but sometimes it goes better, so I want to see it. But I am very excited about this improvement," Gasly added.
Speaking of horsepower, I assume that any hp ratings we read about F1 cars is from the engine sitting in a stand, so do they every measure them on a dyno? I can only guess that an F1 car is better at putting down hp to the wheels than the average road car.

https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/136520/red-bull-ricciardo-will-have-canada-grid-penalty Red Bull's Adrian Newey has revealed Daniel Ricciardo will have to take grid penalties at Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix after the Australian suffered an MGU-K failure in Monaco. Ricciardo won last month's Monaco Grand Prix despite the problem, but while some sources suggested the MGU-K might be salvageable that appears not be the case. He took a complete second power unit in China, and a third MGU-K will automatically generate a 10-place grid penalty in Canada. The use of a third energy store and control electronics would add five places each should they be required. A third V6, turbo or MGU-H will not add to the tally in Canada, as penalties only kick in for the fourth example of those elements that are used. "He will definitely be taking some penalties in Montreal, we haven't heard at the moment just how many," Red Bull chief technical officer Newey told Reuters. "One of things there is whether the battery was damaged or not in Monaco, so until we know that from Renault we don't know exactly what we're facing. The K is definitely a penalty." Renault is introducing an upgrade package in Canada, with most of the focus on the V6. Although it is potentially available to all six cars running with Renault engines, the manufacturer said it was not convinced it would be best for every team to use it in Montreal.
I do not like these current rules. It's racing. Things break. Even if you agree with limiting parts for money saving reasons, TEN places seems like too much. Since SeeBS is broadcasting, I may just follow the F1 thread.
