    Merc changed its tune: no engine upgrade this weekend.

    (Probably because they won't need it)

    Would add a new dimension to poutine and Beaver Tails that's for sure! McD will no longer be asking "Do you want fries with that?" with every order ;"Do you want a spliff with that?" "Would you like to go large?"

    I hates Ferraris one from last year...in the snow. You'd think they had some dumb ass American running their media campaign! (and yes I have lived in Canada and yes I have been asked in august, in Ottawa, in 30 degrees of heat by a bunch of Americas in a car with skis on the roof where the ski hills are! Being brought up "proper" by my mom I told them where the ski hills were and wished them a good time!!! Something I will NEVER forget.)

    Here's some exciting news, 10 more minutes on gird so a longer GRID WALK from the media.
    From the F1 website:

    "Want to know how your favourite driver is feeling immediately pre-race? You’re more likely to find out in Canada this weekend thanks to revisions to the grid procedure prior to each Grand Prix.
    In changes approved by the FIA’s World Motor Sport Council on Thursday, the cars and drivers will be on the grid for ten minutes longer than before, prior to the national anthem which is played just ahead of the race start. This means a longer ‘grid walk’ period for the media, giving them better access to the drivers and more time for interviews as they prepare to climb into their cockpits and get ready to do battle against their rivals.
    The new procedure – an approved change to the 2018 F1 Sporting Regulations – comes into effect for Sunday’s Montreal race, which takes place over 70 laps of the Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, starting at 1410 local time, 1810 UTC."

    https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/136587/red-bull-has-plan-to-avoid-ricciardo-penalty

    Daniel Ricciardo can avoid taking a Formula 1 grid penalty during the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, despite the loss of the MGU-K that failed at Monaco.

    Red Bull chief technical officer Adrian Newey had said he expected a penalty for using a third MGU-K of the season in Canada, which would mean a 10-place drop for exceeding the maximum allocation of two for the season.

    But Ricciardo will re-use the MGU-K he ran at the start of the season before it was changed during the Chinese Grand Prix weekend. He will only be hit with a grid penalty in Canada if that MGU-K needs to be replaced.
