2016 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Montreal GP is so fun. Been twice, had tons of fun every time. The city is electric during that weekend.

 

I keep hearing that? How long ago were you there approx?

I have never been to Canada

 

Moto GP is pretty sweet also! Been to the every year since it's been here also. Those bikes are something else

NBC announcers had me pretty riled up by their misreporting of the "no exceptions" rule for running all 4 wheels off the racing surface. They repeatedly showed drivers doing it without penalty, then Hamilton's Q2 time was erased for it, and I was all "WTF?" Turns out the "no exceptions" rule was for certain turns only.

I can't say I quite get it to be honest. Either enforce it or don't. 'Gaining advantage' is the excuse they used for enforcing some corners over others, but if there was no advantage the drivers wouldn't go there.

 

In the driver's briefing before qualifying 3 corners were deemed to be no exception for track limits because those were the corners where it was deemed you could gain an advantage by carrying extra apex speed and just running the car out wide on exit

 

Surprised Alonso's McLaren was faster than the Williams of Massa on that high speed track

huh??? whatever do you mean sir???

 

Had the drivers started the race not under the safety car or fewer laps under safety car and they had a wreck that brought out a safety car or even a red flag everyone would still complain. You just can't win.
