Montreal Grand Prix

[Paul]

Well it looks like McLaren were completely clueless in Qualifying setting up for rain while it is glorious sunshine and as a result being completely swamped by RB and Ferrari in all of the practices and Quali.....

But has anyone else seen the weather forecast for the race this afternoon?

BBC Website cant even get the weather right in this country even when its happening lol

 

[Jonesy]

I hope it pissed down, rain, tyres, kers and drs, sounds like it will be awsome

 

[Paul]

Me too Jonesy, wet races are always brilliant fun!!! Especially with the 'wall of champions', I can see it claiming a few more victims...

 

[Gandy]

This is just what you need!!

I think we need to forward that on to Mr Eccleston....

 

[Gandy]

i still liked his sprinklers on the track idea! lol

 

[Paul]

Wouldn't really work at Silverstone with the hosepipe ban though LMAO!

 

[Gazeratti]

Dont need it a silverstone with our weather lol

Just look at the Montreal traffic cams folks. Its wet. Not raining but the roads are wet.

Also Jonesy, DRS is banned in a wet race.

Heres a link to the cams: http://www.quebec511.gouv.qc.ca/en/cameras/montreal/

You where saying paul

Looks like It'll be called off. Shame, wet races are always a good watch

 

[N0ddie]

No chance this race will get going again.

Such a load of crap the F1 is. Slightest little bump and the car is nakered, a bit of rain and the race is cancelled. So many little rules to abide by, there's no fun in it at all. You want the BTCC, a bit of bumping and bashing, racing next to each other. That's good racing. The rally is great too, but you don't get many views of the cars.

When it gets the the point the commentators and teams themselves don't know the rules but just make a guess and hope to get away with it then there's a problem.

With all the engine and aero regulations to stop them going too fast it's always seemed a bit ridiculous to me to restrict the top end of motorsport. I want cars with 5 wheels and 1.0 litre engines with mahoosive turbos against 3.0 NA V10s etc etc.
Might as well go watch any other open wheel formula as it is, though watching something like formula renault is probably more interesting.

Another vote for BTCC, even the clio cup races are more exciting.

 

[N0ddie]

Most races would struggle in that sorta downpour.

 

[luke3]

Pretty sure they restrict it from letting the richer teams from getting to far ahead.

 

[Arran]

Looks like a restart.

 

[Roy]

Boring,boring,boring lol

 

[luke3]

Awesome awesome awesome lol!
