Currahee! Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 tomorrow sees the Canadian grand prix. free practice saw 3 of the British drivers post in the top 10 thats encouraging. cant wait until tomorrow for quali. I think we will see a new person on the podium & hoping its de resta. juve Di Resta was 500/1 before the weekend started to win. I think his odds will have shortened after finishing 6th quickest in 2nd practice. He was 8th after 1st practice. I think an e/w bet may be on the cards.

You look at the mclaren wing and it's like a barn door compared to the others, I thinks it's not a wet wether set up but mclaren have messed up by bringing a downforce package well In excess of what is required for Canada - whitmarsh said that to cover up the ****up IMO. Mcalren had lowest drag and most powerful engine and kers so it is a monster **** up as Montreal should have been walk in the park for them.. If it does rain though they will be in good shape, through luck more than design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many scenarios. It looks like Ferrari and Red Bull are faster than expected by anyone, don't think anybody predicted times in low 13's.

Na mate, mclaren have shed as much downforce as they could but have fecked up by bringing a rear wing with much more drag than rbr or ferrari- whitmarsh has basically said ad much... If it rains as looks likely they should have alight advantage tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate, I think they are trying too hard, overthinking it to be honest, they made a mess of Monaco last week trying to do just one run and got knocked out, unlike ferrari and rbr they are also trying to equally support both drivers when in actual fact they should be supporting Lewis, button is a nice guy but got lucky at brawn but he isn't at the same level as Lewis, Alonso and vetted... If mclaren want to win they need to start focusing in the needs of 1 driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The rain at Silverstone has so far went a huge way to giving Stoner the championship if he manages to keep it upright. Very wet track, not much fun on a bike with 220BHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Le Clos Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 eh vettel just on the radio saying turn 9 - 13 undriveable in the rain Funny, since the cars seem to be still going round the track. It may not be driveable at 200mph, but it's clearly still driveable. A race in the wet can still be a race, there's as much skill to driving slowly as there is to driving fast. I'm sure Hamilton won at Silverstone a few years ago in conditions worse than this. Just get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And was involved in 3 incidents before he crashed today. He's undoubtedly a top driver, but he needs to get his frustration at not having a competitive car under control, because at the moment his desperation is doing him and his team no good.

This was also all at the request of the drivers. They wanted Safety Cars and/or Red Flags used before someone spins out and gets hurt, rather than wait till after a crash. Hard to argue with that.

Just get on with it. how can that be driveable in that sort of rain? do you watch the driver tracker on the f1 website & watch the camera view from some of the drivers in real time?? you couldnt see anything. the f1 cars touch the ground when they race, any sort of water they just slide off ' waterboarding' im sure you have heard of it aquaplaning happens every time it rains & the drivers become passengers its just plain daft to say just race, driver safety is paramount.
