Congrats to Ricciardo - what a fantastic racer

[954Stealth]

I guess this means Renault is making some serious improvements as well

[Woots]

Wooooooo fantastic!!!!!!!

Can't wait for victory champagne tomorrow at work!!!

Great to see Red Bull break through.

I was getting a bit sick of the broadcasters obsessing with Mercedes' so-called "Perfect Season"... I mean, we're only seven races into the 19-race season, guys...

[overcoil]

Just a thought - but if Nico and Lewis had team orders to not change positions during the first chicane - Mercedes might have had a win.
But am glad they're allowed to fight it out frm the green.
Massa/Perez - the in camera footage - I understand what Massa was thinking. The speed difference has me thinking Perez lifted and slight moved left, that was just a crap ending to a great ride.

Chilton's streak of finishing every race is officially over. He's no longer the safest driver in F1

I think you are confusing him with Hamilton.

Disappointing!

The local NBC cut off the Canadian GP, and went to severe storm and tornado warning footage for entire 2/3 of the race. Last footage I've seen was Nico locking brake and gained 0.4sec going straight.

I think it shows that Red Bull has, once again, a completely ridiculous chassis. If you look at where the rest of the Renault runners were, it isn't pretty (not that there are many left). Also don't forget both MBs had major technical breakdowns. I completely expect to see them dominating again in Austria.

Stupid, stupid, stupid Massa. He threw away a bunch of points today. Checo must be fuming.

[954Stealth]

Good point the other Renault powered cars didn't fair to well

[954Stealth]

Watch quickly before it gets blocked

[HFW003]

C'mon Aussie, C'mon C'mon!

What a great result for our man Daniel!

[954Stealth]

Despite this, they're both out of the Sacre Coeur hospital already. Here's Massa giving thumbs up

[954Stealth]

And Chilton just got a Austria grid penalty for being a dumb ass

Isn't that enough to be penalized for "gaining an advantage"? Or just purely grid positions? He got lucked out twice this race, almost crashed out, and then dodged the penalty, and only losing to RIC as a result.

While Hamilton did nothing wrong, and had two DNF because of mechanical retirements, behind 22 points now. No luck at all.

Seriously, can you cut every corner on the circuit just because you are in the lead!? Absolute BS, Nico should have gotten a drive-by for that move or it can get out of hand quickly. Super defending in corner 1 though, don't think Lewis expected that from Nico. It was clean and gutsy. Still equipment permitting there is no doubt in my mind that Lewis is the faster of the two. A pity his car let him down today.

Huge congrats to DR, he's not only a fast guy but I also like his attitude this far. Let's hope he keep it as he continues to do well.

Crap that was scary with Massa. He is the other crash machine next to Maldonado but I like Massa and felt terrible for him at his last huge crash and how it kind of changed him to lose what little edge he had. Very,very good to see he is ok, that was a hard smack. At least he got to pass Alonso fair and square

alonso never stops talking trash about his team and his car every single weekend. it was bad enough to make Luca Di Montezemolo publicly ordering him to shut up last year.

I'm really beginning to hate nico for being such a lucky bastard. Leading the championship despite being inferior to his teammate every single weekend. First race Lewis retires with a bad spark plug. Then Nico secures pole on a track that is impossible to overtake by making a "mistake" (deliberate or not) in qualifying. And today he gains an advantage by leaving the race track without a penalty. and then Lewis gets another DNF. I can't wait to see Nico get some bad luck and finish outside the points for once.

Canada Grand Prix, Race Day


I did the best that I could out there today and felt like I was having a strong race but unfortunately it just wasn't our day. Montreal has been a good track for me so to come here and not finish is disappointing but there are plenty more races ahead of us this season so let's hope for better fortune. There was nothing I could do about our issues really. We were managing the loss of power but as soon as I finally made the jump on Nico in the second pit stop, my brakes failed going into turn 10. It's great for the team that Nico was able to hold on and get second place today but it's tough for me. That's two DNFs now this season and now I have to try and recover the points gap again. But these are learning experiences: we'll learn as a team and get stronger. Congratulations to Daniel today. It's awesome for him to get his first win and I know this will be a really special day for him.*

I was actually furious and screaming when I heard "no penalty", this is not small infractions like crossing the pit-entry white line in Brazil.

He lost the corner under pressure and delibrately took the escape route and gunned the throttle, gaining more than half a second.

How is that NOT gaining an advantage? To me is a clear cut sporting infraction.

Nico lost the corner, he should simply lift the throttle when he was off track. If it was gravel, he would crash already! Paved escape zones are not for him to put full power there. It was designed to give a the ones who made a mistake a second chance, but the driver must lose some sort of advantage.

Cracker of a race. I almost did an Alan Jones and had a beer at 6am this morning. Well done Ricciardo.
