And they fired arguably the most successful strategist F1 has seen in the modern era just over a year ago...
Who did they fire? In any case, it was hilarious the way Lewis lost the race yesterday. I couldn't stop laughing. Especially seeing the grin on Vettel's face was even better. I have never liked Lewis much. He is far too smug for my liking. And the really strange Ecclestone interview made me dislike him even more.
Ross Brawn.
And yeah, I found it hilarious. I'm really liking the obnxiousness of Rosberg. It's theatre. Doesn't stop it being a massive mistake from Merc though
Oh, I thought Brawn left on his own accord. Wtf would they fire a man of his caliber?
Well he was more forced out than fired from what I've read of it. He wasn't fired in the official sense of the word, but it was made increasingly clear to him that he wasn't wanted or welcome and that he should leave, and he then stepped down a few weeks before a "management restructure" which would have seen him kicked out with less dignity
Im sure Hamilton would celebrate as much... Its good for the F1 that Hamilton didn't win.
Hamilton has his haters thats I can understand that , but how can the way that Nico won be good for anybody but Nico, he was handed the win on a plate by a massive cock up.
There is a lot of drivers who have won after teams or drivers ahead have lost it by mistakes... Of course If you win you celebrate... Anyway F1 these days is so boring.. I'm not as excited for the races as I was when I was younger.
United fans would not be happy if our players wouldn't celebrate when they score or win games right?? Many goals are scored after mistakes right?
Ok can someone explain to me what is a virtual SC and a proper SC? I think I have a vague idea but is there certain cases when one is deployed over the other.
Virtual safety car is where the speed of the cars is controlled by the race director without any other vehicle being deployed. Yesterday was the first time it's ever been used in F1, for a whole 10 seconds or whatever it was.
Proper SC is obviously the car that is brought out to control the pace.

Oh god Mercedes sending the boys out on inters when its pissing and lewis ends up in the tyres.
Dumb as a bag of rocks the Merc pitwall, truly.
just seen the Lewis crash, WTF were they thinking sending him out on inters.
The rain was heavy enough to not even send him out but on inters was just crazy.
First the pit stop shambles and now this, looks like the nutters have taken over at Mercedes.

Well this changes things a bit. Joint responsibility for Hamilton as he asked to come in after Mercedes tried to keep him out.
Obviously they misjudged and should've forced him to stay out but puts it a bit more on Hamiltons shoulders

That's why he didn't look as pissed with the the team that time because it was his idea, but yeah the team should have overruled him and kept him out
only damage control inside the team - yesterday Toto replied to the question "what do you tell lewis" his answer "sorry".
Hamilton doesn't know the gaps or what his rivals would be doing, he can only relay feedback based on himself. If the team had simply made a simple calculation that his gap wasn't big enough to get a "free" pitstop then you keep him out, in fact when the gap was so marginal why even risk it, particularly a place where track position is 99% of the race. So yes Hamilton portions some of blame because he wanted to pit based on tyre temps but if the team hadn't fallen over itself they would have simply said "you pit, you lose" and he would deal with it.
Jenson Button to miss Canadian GP qualifying for engine change
Briton suffers late P3 breakdown and team unlikely to have sufficient time to change power unit before Q1; Team-mate Fernando Alonso had already had morning engine change.

Max Mossley , giving interview on how to improve F1.
Vettel with problems in Q1
Vettel just going out 2 mins to go to end of Q1
1 last lap for Seb
Vettel and Massa starting down there should make for a good race (assuming they fix their issues).
Vettel out in Q1, car sounds like a dog.
Vettel out of Q2! He's in my fantasy team - maybe he'll get the most number of overtakes
Atleast for those at the back its a track you can really overtake on, makes it mildly more interesting when fast cars start at the back anyway.
the last person to out-qualify his teammate this season- Kimi Raikkonen
Great opportunity for Lotus here, think we might see a Ros-Ham-Gro top three unless Kimi has a better Q3 than usual.
Rosberg 0.3 down
Pole for Lewis- get in!
#44.
I gotta say I did laugh when Rosberg's engineer said after the first run his tyre set had the worst "uniformity" of his allocation, the excuse was literally his tyres weren't round enough

Fancy Vettel for a top 5, possibly podium if they can sort his car out?
I think he has a decent chance actually, a safety car and I'd almost expect it but a clean race I think he will get quite high up there.
montreal and gilles villeneuve - great town , great track. can't wait because something always happens to upset the apple cart (except for two yrs ago when vettel won it) one of the best places to go for F1. metro takes you to within a half mile of the track and after the race you are on a pint in about a half hr in centre ville. the women of montreal are ace , the only downside is euro trash has hit the town big style.
Come on Nico. Pi$$ them all off with another win.
My guess is that Max is hoping for a safety car to do his stop&go in, but I'm not sure we'll have one.
There should be a drinking game where every time an F1 driver says "for sure" you have a shot.
fecks sake, I couldn't even tell what language she was singing in. I may have heard a 'free' in there somewhere, but I couldn't be sure.
