2013 Formula One World Championship - Round Seven - Canadian Grand Prix: Montreal (8-10 June)

This race needs a safety car. Webber has had the pace all weekend just needs some luck.

Good morning fellow die hards.

That 14 laps behind Rosberg summed up Marks career. Those two straights behind rosberg summed up Alonso's...

Alls fallin into place all Alonso's career,where as mark has gotten bad luck wherever.

For a space of about 3/10th of a second after pitting mark would be second, where as now he's 5 seconds down the road from Hamilton

Now marks ruined his race..

 

[OzBomber]

****ing typical. Gets some pace, gets ****ed over by a backmarker.

 

[Gak Attack]

Alonso up Marks ass and **** all people probably up watching but ten still need that ad break.

 

[Frankster177]

Come on Teflonso...... push

 

[Gak Attack]

Oh great we missed it you piece of shit channel.

Van de garde got a ten second stop and go...should of been a ten race one if we are being fair.

Rocky to Vettel :

"OK, watch out for Van der Garde, he's not paying any attention"

 

[OzBomber]

Probably would've been best for Webber to lose a couple of seconds at the last stop for a new front wing given how much time he loses in the final sector. Up to half a second down in the final sector compared to Alonso. Would've been a great battle if it weren't for idiot backmarkers.

Pit radio "Traction matrix needs to be under 2000"
Hamilton "Just let me drive man"

Ha.

 

[darth_timon]

Hard but fair racing between Hamilton and Alonso. Could have been a lot worse.

Brundle is seriously unimpressed by bringing out the crane at this point.

 

[juice t]

The crowd quite clearly Ferrari fans...

 

[ManWithNoName]

Absolute twats booing Vettel while he answered questions. No need for that, towards any driver.

 

[juice t]

By the looks of it they'll boo anything that isn't red... Quebec really is full of wonderful people

The crowd quite clearly Ferrari fans...

Big Italian community in montreal.

Even non italian heritage people like Ferrari though.

I would also have thought they'd be Ferrari fans due To Gilles Villeneuve

Ah good point, but there was that rumor he was leaving Ferrari at the end of the year due to that Pironi bs.

Remember how nervous Martin was about that crane coming out? Well...

MONTREAL — A 38-year-old track worker at the Canadian Grand Prix is in critical condition at Sacré-Coeur Hospital after he was accidentally run over by a mobile crane near the end of the race Sunday.

The worker, a 10-year veteran of the crane-loading team at the race, was one of two men who was escorting the crane that was carrying a Sauber car that had just hit the wall in Turn 2. The Sauber car was being transported to a garage.

At one point the worker tripped in the path of the mobile crane, but the operator of the crane didn’t seem him and continued driving, said François Dumontier, president and CEO of Octane Management and president of the Canadian Grand Prix.

That marshal has now died. Awful news.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Didn't see the race but looks like tough luck for Mark, might have been on the podium if not for his incident. 12 points is OK though.
At least Nando is keeping Seb honest. Ferrari's second half of the season have been strong in recent years so hopefully it will be tight to the end.

I did like Ted's comment from the pits - "It's proof you should pass the Dutchie on the left hand side"

Redbull was in a league of its own. They both launched at the start and Mark was terribly unlucky to get boxed in.Then at the first pit he was so close to jumping Rosberg who took on super softs to marks softs. If he had (passed rosberg) he would of cruised to second under multi 12 team orders.

He should of been more careful when he got hit, he should know better than that.

 

[alfy!]

Agreeing that it's terrible, awful news. The helpers, marshalls and workers do a wonderful job at each and every race and this is just a woeful accident to hear about.
