Between the marmots and the marshals, Canada is turning into quite an eventful weekend so far, and it’s only Friday. Looking forward to more from the weekend, but first we must evaluate Free Practice.
Free Practice 1
A pretty slow session, with it being a damp track and all. Some crazy times throughout, but everything reverted to normal come the end.
Free Practice 2
Plenty of incidents and a much busier session than FP1. Hamilton was on fire, though.
Conclusions
There seems to be a clear divide between drivers who have it sussed and those who don’t.

Poor Bourdais.
I knew he was going to be awful today for exactlly the same reason that he said in his post practice press session…. That the champcars were roughly slower by some 7 seconds a lap and the braking distances where shorter in F1 cars, so all of his reflexes will be just a little to slow for what he is used to. I think I said this way back in the pre-season, just in case the host gets mad at me…
Jordan (Allen) f1.

Groundhogs included I see, but I must say you did it very professionally….
No mention of them being cuter than Junior or faster than Bourdais…
Great round up Christine and “me”…. especially given the late hour…
“All the lights went out” at Ferrari… or should I say for Massa… and they don’t know why!…
Je suis tres worried…

Amusing quote from Le Séb.
Sebastien Bourdais (16th, 1:17.559): “I had a difficult day, starting with a set-up that was very different to Seb’s and I didn’t like the car at all. I had raced here before, but not in F1 and in some ways, that might have been a distraction as the reference points I had from Champ Car were completely wrong. I was used to being able to attack the kerbs and you can’t do that with this low downforce configuration. Plus the braking points are different and the entry speed into the corners is much higher. I have to forget about the past - it did not help!”
And the press conference was quite amusing.
