Live Commenting: Canada - The Race
Today’s race in Canada is likely to be dominated by talk of asphalt or rather the lack of it. Yesterday during qualifying it appeared that, like in previous years, the track was breaking apart under the force of the F1 cars. However this time around it was happening a whole day earlier and that can only spell trouble.
Repairs have been made to turn 10, but will it be enough? And what of the rest of the circuit? At best, if the fixes hold together a single line will form meaning overtaking will be impossible, at worst we could see multiple interventions by the safety car.
The weather is playing it’s part in Montreal too. Rain was predicted for later this afternoon, but at the moment the island is bathed in bright sunshine. An especially humid afternoon could easily play just as much havoc as a wet one. If we aren’t talking about the road, we’ll be looking at the tyres.
There is some racing going on this afternoon too. Hamilton made pole by a massive margin being the only guy able to break into the 17’s. Behind him is Kubica who’s on the dirty side of the grid and has yet to make a decent start all year, he’s followed by Räikkönen. Massa, Kovalainen and Heidfeld all appear to be on different strategies to their teammates, starting as they do 6th, 7th and 8th.
As an aside, Christine’s wearing her lucky Honda shirt today, and god knows Jenson will need that and more this afternoon starting as he does at the back along with both Toro Rosso’s.
A selection of useful links for today’s race:
Will we have as dramatic a race as the one two weeks ago in Monaco? The stage is certainly set, but before the action begins please let us know all your pre-race thoughts / predictions.

Good afternoon folks. Hope this will be a race to remember and not one to forget.

quick shout out for dryden sean lewis. he’s attending the race this weekend and left us a facebook comment in the small hours of this morning. for all non-facebookers, he said:
cheers dryden, have a good one, and please let us know the gossip from today too
June 8th, 2008 at 4:59 pmme said:
hey nelson, by all accounts it’ll be something to remember. here’s hoping at least.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:02 pmDom said:
Hey everyone, everything points to this being a super race. Can it top Monaco?
June 8th, 2008 at 5:02 pmme said:
incidentally we’ve upgraded the drop.io file store this weekend, so feel free to fill it with any relevant race stuff:
June 8th, 2008 at 5:03 pmDom said:
ITV have just said 27 degrees track temperature.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:04 pmlou said:
Hey everyone!
Time has passed so slowly today. Hope everyone is good. I’m all set for the race
Christine has a Honda shirt?! I’m jealous, I don’t even have a cap!
June 8th, 2008 at 5:04 pmme said:
two quality races in a row is asking a lot of formula 1, but it might just be able to deliver this weekend.
will there be any post race sanctions for the organisers though? i know they have exceptionally cold winters and warm summers, but someone’s gotta explain the basics of laying tarmac haven’t they?
June 8th, 2008 at 5:08 pmDom said:
ITV coverage is go. Or should that be Hamilton coverage?
June 8th, 2008 at 5:08 pmlou said:
ITV lewis coverage has started…..
June 8th, 2008 at 5:09 pmDom said:
If they don’t improve the track situation, it might give Bernie an excuse to replace the race with one in Saudi Arabia.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:10 pmmy FA fantasy said:
Hey guys, just saw Heidfeld and Kubica leaving their cars during drivers parade and checking out the resurfaced bits of track - both Nick and Robert touched the new asphalt to see what it was like. I think Heidfeld even tried to smell it.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:10 pmSteven Roy said:

I have just seen the above link. Nick Fry says Danica Patrick will test for Honda in November. Bye bye Jenson
June 8th, 2008 at 5:10 pmJoe said:
Hey guys, rain between 1:00 and 1:25 locally perhaps, awesome
June 8th, 2008 at 5:11 pmlou said:
Nick Heidfeld has spoken about the track conditions
June 8th, 2008 at 5:12 pmmy FA fantasy said:
Renault PR guy says “I’m told that the support races this morning were shortened not to put too much stress on the new tarmac sections.”
Wow.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:13 pmme said:
blimey, that’s a new one. pretty serious isn’t it?
June 8th, 2008 at 5:13 pmSteven Roy said:
http://uk.weather.com/weather/today-Montreal-CAXX0301
Weather forecast is 28C and 40% chance of rain. Thunderstorms in the area.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:13 pmlou said:
noo! they won’t get ride of Jenson, would they? They would be more likely to get ride of Rubens right? Jenson is in talks with them about an extention on his contract…..
June 8th, 2008 at 5:14 pmme said:
i would say the test was inevitable, but let’s see how she does first.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:14 pmmy FA fantasy said:
You bet!
June 8th, 2008 at 5:15 pmDom said:
James Allen:
Could be more complimentary to Webber.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:16 pmlou said:
According to autosport Honda have replaced Jenson’s rear suspension, rear wing, front spring and front anti roll bar overnight, as well as the gear box.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:17 pmSteven Roy said:
I just posted a comment on the weather and it disappeared.
Lou, I think Jenson is probably safe but Brawn seems to get the best out of Rubens. I guess it will depend on how good Danica is and whether Honda are more interested in racing or publicity for their earthdreams nonsense.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:19 pmSteven Roy said:
I think Martin Brundle just explained Lewis’s comments regarding his qualifying speed. He gained a stack of time at the last chicane which won’t affect his race performance at all.

so Max did go to Canada.

Hello! Can’t wait for the race today!

He mentioned on ITV yesterday that he would do that so no surprise… however I don’t think all the cars are configured to take that treatment ….

The wheel bins
June 8th, 2008 at 5:25 pmlou said:
you mean the half wheel bins
June 8th, 2008 at 5:25 pmLadySnowcat said:
It’s looking pretty overcast…
June 8th, 2008 at 5:26 pmlou said:
awww Nick is into art!
June 8th, 2008 at 5:26 pmJordan said:
I wonder if it might rain throughout the race.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:26 pmSidepodcastFan said:
Hi guys
Hope overnight patch work will do nicely…..
June 8th, 2008 at 5:28 pmlou said:
Nice Nick Heidfeld feature
June 8th, 2008 at 5:28 pmLadySnowcat said:
Overnight patch is a bit like the cosmetic surgery from hell… imagine Michael Jackson and you’ll get the idea… white patches and all…
June 8th, 2008 at 5:28 pmSteven Roy said:
The patch on the tarmac will not work. They never do

June 8th, 2008 at 5:29 pmmy FA fantasy said:
It looks like it’s gonna rain, it was all cloudy when Niki Lauda was delivering his analysis for RTL channel.
Even if Honda decide not to keep Jenson he’ll find a decent drive somewhere else. But it’s unlikely Honda will be able someone better than JB.
I was intrigued by this situation when RBR and Renault are working together on KERS thing, could they merge one day? Certainly Le Costcutter Ghosn and Mateschitz wouldn’t mind.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:29 pmDom said:
Kubica dosn’t expect a win
June 8th, 2008 at 5:29 pmme said:
kubica saying t10 is really dusty and the new tarmac is really oily.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:29 pmlou said:
Christine has been very quiet.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:30 pmLadySnowcat said:
Now a surprise feature with…
Hmmm…
June 8th, 2008 at 5:30 pmSergei_X said:
… an swf link which can be open with WMP .. there are plenty of streaming links like this, but this GP I cannot find one for ITV .. that’s all
June 8th, 2008 at 5:30 pmMichael said:
Well it doesn’t look like anyone is considering not racing, which is good. Of course it does call into question whether the race will happen next year.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:31 pmLadySnowcat said:
Definitely more rain activity today than yesterday…
June 8th, 2008 at 5:31 pmSteven Roy said:
The KERS and the drive train have to be linked somehow so it makes sense for the engine companies to design a KERS to suit their drive train. I don’t know if each team has to design their own or if they can buy off the shelf units.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:33 pmmy FA fantasy said:
Have fun guys, I’m too nervous to comment properly.
Mind you - it might turn out to be a boring race. I hope not.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:33 pmlou said:
wow look at all those Mclaren hats!

Hi everyone,
Just metaphorically popping my head round the door. Typically, when the race is on at a time I can get home from work for I have to go attend a fanily birthday
Hope you all enjoy the race, and the best of luck to Kubica - if he can keep the Farrari behind him off the start he might stand a chance of second… Or not.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:35 pmLadySnowcat said:
Sorry Lewis you don’t live my dream… and please don’t talk about Senna’s mistakes….
And dissing Kimi too… do you want me to like you…
June 8th, 2008 at 5:37 pmlou said:
Listening to Hamilton talking about yesterday made me angry! That guy is just so modest :/ Do you think Steve was the other side of the car cause Lewis does not want him getting any closer to him.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:39 pmlou said:
no rain is expected during the race - according to autosport anyway.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:40 pmChristine said:
Sorry, had to pop out, then the internet died.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:40 pmme said:
ahh, i see, no never seen one of those myself, sorry.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:42 pmme said:
well that’s nice of the cricket!
June 8th, 2008 at 5:43 pmme said:
cheers andy
aww shucks, bad news for the circuit.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:45 pmChristine said:
Brundle says the drivers were asked to avoid the apexes on the way to the grid, because they’re still repairing the track!
June 8th, 2008 at 5:45 pmme said:
hope nobody minds me saying this… but canada has some really attractive ladies holding those grid boards!
June 8th, 2008 at 5:45 pmlou said:
the drivers were not allowed to use the apexs of t2 or t10 during their formation lap :/ if it can’t cope with 1 lap how is it going to cop with 70?!
June 8th, 2008 at 5:45 pmSteven Roy said:
The cars are not allowed to se the apexes during the formation lap?? unbelievable
June 8th, 2008 at 5:46 pmDom said:
Hehe. I remember that.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:47 pmlou said:
why does he not go to the pitlane? silly man! where is ted, they don’t tend to mind ted.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:47 pmLadySnowcat said:
Why does Martin try to bother any of the drivers when he won’t talk to Lewis….
Let’s hope he doesn’t jinx Felipe…
June 8th, 2008 at 5:48 pmSteven Roy said:
I thought the point of a formation lap was to let the drivers find out what the track was like.
Lou, I think they have told them to keep off the repairs to give them longer to cure. The more it cures the longer it will last.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:48 pmme said:
yay massa’s happy to talk on the grid. seems really relaxed today.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:48 pmlou said:
ah right,
June 8th, 2008 at 5:49 pmPoppy said:
hi all - did I just hear right did brundle just say some pikies were fixing the track!? In this day and age….
June 8th, 2008 at 5:49 pmJordan said:
Well…. Who do you think has the best chance to win??
June 8th, 2008 at 5:49 pmlou said:
They should go talk to Jenson. I don’t think i have seen an interview with him all weekend….
June 8th, 2008 at 5:50 pmme said:
agreed, that is beyond stupid.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:51 pmPoppy said:
Perhaps he should have a chat at the other end of the grid I bet they are really chatty down there!
June 8th, 2008 at 5:51 pmme said:
lewis has the best chance and it’s his to lose. he’ll be able to control the race and be in the best position for the safety car.
i figure nico might fare well today.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:51 pmLadySnowcat said:
A couple of mins staying off the patches may make the difference for say…one lap…
This could be time restricted to 2 hours rather than running the full distance…
It’s got to be best to go first… if you are behind you’ll be caught up in bad events…
June 8th, 2008 at 5:51 pmme said:
any last minute predictions for the top 5 then?
June 8th, 2008 at 5:53 pmme said:
tis a good point poppy. no-one looked comfortable out there today though.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:53 pmSteven Roy said:
I can see a 10 car accident on one of those repairs as drivers slide off into each other. I can see someone like Coulthard making up a load of positions in the first couple of laps if there are any problems with cars bunching up on some apexes.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:53 pmPoppy said:
Yes Nico has done really well it is nice to see him up closer the front I hope he has a good race I hope Barichello does too and you never know button might fight back from the back and grab a few points. Predictions
Lewis
Kimi
Robert
Alonso
June 8th, 2008 at 5:53 pmme said:
he did, we exchanged looks here.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:53 pmPoppy said:
Should have said Fernando as I was using first names sorry!
June 8th, 2008 at 5:54 pmJordan said:
I think Kimi will do well today.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:54 pmMichael said:
I think I’ll risk a prediction:
Lewis
Robert
Nico
Alonso
Massa
June 8th, 2008 at 5:55 pmDom said:
Hmmm. Tricky one
1. Lewis
2. Kubica
3. Massa
4. Rosberg
5. Raikkonen
June 8th, 2008 at 5:55 pmPoppy said:
oh wait you said top 5 add Nico as 5th
June 8th, 2008 at 5:56 pmlou said:
erm i think Kubica will do well, maybe a podium? Lewis has the best chance of winning, but he has been soo openly confident i won’t be surprised if the track conditions are bad, that he may slip up. I would like to see Rubens get some more pionts (but i always want to see honda do well). erm yeah….. so predictions from me
Lewis
Kimi
Kubica
Rosberg
Alonso
Massa
Heikki
Rubens
I would like Kubica to win though…
June 8th, 2008 at 5:57 pmLadySnowcat said:
Safety car went over the apex there…
June 8th, 2008 at 5:57 pmme said:

NO MARMOTS…
During the race then…
I’ve paid one to …..
June 8th, 2008 at 5:59 pmFelipe Leite said:
Wow, that T10 is really a mess. It remembers me of some races in the 70s. Maybe we are set to see that 70s show? :p
For the race, I think it won’t rain, since the FIA says there is still a chance of raining during the race. They never get it right!
And we will see a lot of overtaking, and unfortunately a lot of crashes. It will be a survival test, with SC every now and then. It will at least a bit entarteining. Hope nobody gets hurt.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:59 pmJordan said:
Here we go! Formation lap
June 8th, 2008 at 6:00 pmlou said:

Lewis…
I am surprised… he’s on a very short first stint…

Kubica

Raikkonen
June 8th, 2008 at 6:01 pmPoppy said:
I keep trying to change my team then feel really bad for kicking people off and have to put them back on…yes I know it’s not real and they’ll never know…that is prolly why I’m doing ‘rilly badly!!

nick manages a pass into the hairpin. rubens didn’t put up a fight.

piquet found the perfect way to slow down. tyre’s against tyres is a great handbrake.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:20 pmChristine said:
Brundle called that a nice pass, and he got away with it, but honestly, he just used Trulli as his brakes. I wouldn’t call that good driving. Just lucky. (Which makes a change for Piquet!)

They really should have cranes to deal with this kind of thing. it is not like it is totally unpedictable.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:27 pmFelipe Leite said:
Safety car. Who will have to stop during the SC period? Whose race will be scrwed today?
By the way, Rubens can get advantage of this as he is supposed to stop only once…
June 8th, 2008 at 6:27 pmryan said:
Which Honda was in the pitlane?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:27 pmConnor said:
I didn’t see one at the top of the page. I’ve found the weather links and the one on Danica, but not a link to any stream.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:27 pmlou said:
what? why did he go into the pits?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:28 pmLadySnowcat said:
Lewis on softs shouldn’t have a problem…
Williams look ready…
June 8th, 2008 at 6:28 pmme said:

all cars into pits!?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:30 pmryan said:
SPEED Channel indicates it was Button, who changed to soft compound tyres…
June 8th, 2008 at 6:30 pmLadySnowcat said:
This has helped Lewis I reckon as he was light…
June 8th, 2008 at 6:30 pmPoppy said:
is this still for Sutil? Or has someone crashed while we were having ad inflicted on us!
June 8th, 2008 at 6:30 pmChristine said:
Why are there two people in the saftey car? I understand having a couple of drivers, but do they both need to go at the same time?

And Kubica has now great winning chances!

Kubica For the Win!!! This screws up my Fantasy racers though…

kubica was the luckiest man there.

Lewis’s fault there then….
Rosberg pits for a new nose poor Rosberg he is now last

I hope Lewis gets a penalty…
A ten place penalty for the next race…
Massa is now very very happy…
Kubica for a win?….

Not a good day for ferrari. Massa is last cause he had to pit.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:34 pmSidepodcastFan said:
could this be the race for KUB?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:35 pmSteven Roy said:
Why is Massa in again?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:35 pmryan said:
This is true! He was headed straight for Kubica…
June 8th, 2008 at 6:35 pmJoe said:
For the 2nd year in a row, we could see another driver getting his first win.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:35 pmLadySnowcat said:
Perhaps he’s practising to be like Michael or Senna…
If Kimi loses the championship by one point I think Lewis owes him…
June 8th, 2008 at 6:35 pmJordan said:
WOW LEWIS! You had to hit out Raikkonen. *Disgusted*
June 8th, 2008 at 6:35 pmKathi said:
At least in case *fingerscrossed* Kimi wins this year they can’t they he made the stupidest mistake of the year. Because that was much worse than Kimi sliding into Sutil.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:35 pmJordan Allen said:
Hamilton has just become my favourite driver. It is wonderful to see someone who is colour-blind in the red spectrum racing cars.
Jordan (Allen) F1….
June 8th, 2008 at 6:35 pmlou said:
wow i know canada can produce some strange results but Nick, Rubens, Kaz was not the top 3 i was ever expecting!

i wanna see the pitlane thing again. kimi and kubica both reacted at the same time.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:36 pmryan said:
He topped off his fuel…
June 8th, 2008 at 6:36 pmme said:
did lewis deliberatly hit kimi over kubica there?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:36 pmPoppy said:
I think I was mistaking Rosberg for Nakagima….oops Nico’s at the back - barichello is doing well tho!
June 8th, 2008 at 6:37 pmJordan said:
With Kimi and Lewis out Kubica could win this thing.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:37 pmme said:
watching the reply it almost looked like that. ouch.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:37 pmKathi said:
No. He tried to go where more room was. And that was unfortunately Kimi’s side
June 8th, 2008 at 6:37 pmChristine said:
I have taken a snapshot
Although they haven’t pitted yet, of course.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:37 pmJoe said:
1st. Heidfeld
2nd. Rubens
3. Nakajima
Lol.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:38 pmSidepodcastFan said:
I thought Lewis and Kimi had plenty fuel for few more laps…. @ least til after the yellow.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:38 pmme said:
piquet the big winner from the pitstops.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:38 pmFelipe Leite said:
How did Piquet managed to pit and ends right behind Alonso?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:39 pmSteven Roy said:
I don’t think Lewis tried to hit Kimi. I think he was trying to swerve round both of them but reacted way too late.
With the amount of info that drivers get in their radios it is odd they were not told about the red light
June 8th, 2008 at 6:39 pmlou said:
yes but even with out pitting would you think Rubens would be second at any piont?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:39 pmJordan said:
It would be nice to see BMW win.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:39 pmLee Vilenski said:
Anyone else think that we are seeing the new Lewis? If Kubica wins, he will be. First win at Canada!
June 8th, 2008 at 6:39 pmChristine said:
Heidfeld started heavy, didn’t he? He’s gonna fly away now, might get a pit in his pocket.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:39 pmJordan said:
Ya
June 8th, 2008 at 6:40 pmme said:
you know now we’ll never know if that was a great qually lap or a light one from lewis
June 8th, 2008 at 6:40 pmlou said:
The order looks like its the opposite from what it is normally, with Massa at the back and Heidfeld and rubens at the front.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:40 pmLadySnowcat said:
It made sense to use the safety car to pit…
They didn’t know it would be a short stop…
June 8th, 2008 at 6:40 pmLee Vilenski said:
Meh, Looking at:
Kubica
Alonso
Barrichello!

I like that Massa is behind Bourdais
June 8th, 2008 at 6:40 pmDan Brunell said:
Good afternoon everyone.
I just broke a land speed record to get back home from Seattle.
As soon as I turned on the TV, Lewis ran into Kimi. Some would call it stupidity on Lewis’ part. I call it karma for taking out Sutil two weeks ago.
i have to let my bias show. GGGOOOOOO KUBICA!!!!!!
June 8th, 2008 at 6:41 pmLee Vilenski said:
So is Lewis and Riakonen
June 8th, 2008 at 6:41 pmLadySnowcat said:

I HATE LEWIS HAMILTON…..
June 8th, 2008 at 6:41 pmme said:
could well be. i do wonder if they gave him enough fuel, lewis was fueled much longer than kub.
i wish we could’ve seen kimi and kubica out drag each other from a standing start at the end of the pit lane.

Well intresting race, from what it looks like then, Heidfeld will surely be filled to the end of the race, Kubica then gets past him so he is released and get some time. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Nick wins, that would be a great confidence boost, and Kubica comes second.

Rubens is doing personal bests, he is close to pittine then.
Rosberg pits again and fals down the order there’s another driver with some bad luck.

June 8th, 2008 at 6:54 pmLadySnowcat said:
I hope not…
I wonder if he hangs around for Heikki or just goes home?…
Lewis needed a lot more fuel than Kimi at that safety car stop I reckon he was light…
June 8th, 2008 at 6:55 pmDom said:
lol, Coulthard is leading now.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:55 pmGaulty said:
Aye, thats why when the SC is out and the pit lane is open, you either stay out and run out of fuel, or go in and get a penalty.
DC leading.

About 4 years ago I believe.

Alonso… extremely wide.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:01 pmAndrew from Pittsburgh said:
Wow-almost a smashup by Alonso into the back of Heidfeld…
And another typical race by Piquet…
June 8th, 2008 at 7:01 pmLee Vilenski said:

June 8th, 2008 at 7:01 pmme said:

Unfortunately, it looks like FOX will be carrying the next two or three races (France & Germany for sure). That means this is the last live race we’ll get to see for quite a while…
June 8th, 2008 at 7:02 pmLadySnowcat said:
Glock still out…
Lewis was breezing it was he?….
That’s why he ended up behind… so confident…
June 8th, 2008 at 7:02 pmPoppy said:
er…what is his peronal best?
June 8th, 2008 at 7:02 pmDan Brunell said:
Ahw, Piquet out again. I feel sorry for the guy. Could someone buy that kid a soda pop to cheer him up.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:02 pmLee Vilenski said:
It seems like more people have crashed out… But most have just been pushed to the back.

June 8th, 2008 at 7:03 pmDom said:

Go Honda!!
June 8th, 2008 at 7:03 pmAndrew from Pittsburgh said:
Good point, Ryan…the Fox coverage does come with Jerry Springer commercials, so you win some, you lose some…
But, I don’t have SpeedTV (too expensive here in Pittsburgh), so I’ll be able to at least see the races for a few weeks.

June 8th, 2008 at 7:09 pmDan Brunell said:
The Kamikaze kid does it again.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:09 pmLee Vilenski said:
Nakajima out too!
June 8th, 2008 at 7:10 pmAndrew from Pittsburgh said:
And Nakajima crashes in the pit lane! Echoes of David Coulthard in Australia 13 years ago…
June 8th, 2008 at 7:10 pmme said:

Kubes in already…
June 8th, 2008 at 7:11 pmLadySnowcat said:

June 8th, 2008 at 7:11 pmPoppy said:
Time for new predictions I think
BMW
BMW

June 8th, 2008 at 7:11 pmLee Vilenski said:
All on this stop.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:12 pmConnor said:
I think he is just pitting before a safety car come out.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:12 pmPoppy said:
sad shot of Mclaren and Ferrari parked!
June 8th, 2008 at 7:12 pmLee Vilenski said:
PredictioN:
Kubica
Hiendfeld
Barrichello.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:12 pmme said:
heidfeld’s tyres must be shot to pieces by now.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:12 pmChristine said:
James Allen clearly doesn’t understand the concept of the commentator’s curse.
Going on and on about a BMW 1-2 finish.
DON’T JINX IT!!
June 8th, 2008 at 7:12 pmPoppy said:
Is trulli still in it I’m confused?
June 8th, 2008 at 7:13 pmLee Vilenski said:
Yeah, I think he’s still going around.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:13 pmGaulty said:
So agree, Taku taking on Kimi.
1-2 BMW!!!!!!!!!
June 8th, 2008 at 7:13 pmAndrew from Pittsburgh said:
When was the last time we had a first-time winning team? Was it Jordan way back when?
June 8th, 2008 at 7:14 pmLadySnowcat said:
Massa has got to stop again…is Heikki on softs?…
June 8th, 2008 at 7:14 pmryan said:
I think the fact that we’re racing around a casino has established a bit of a theme for this race: a game of chance!
Come to think of it, Monaco has a casino too…
June 8th, 2008 at 7:14 pmSteven Roy said:
Trulli is 10th
June 8th, 2008 at 7:14 pmLee Vilenski said:
No…. Honda two years ago… They hadn’t won as a constructor..

Can you imagine this? One day you almost die at a track. Exactly one year later, you win your first F1 race at that same track! Kudos to Kubica!
June 8th, 2008 at 7:14 pmme said:

June 8th, 2008 at 7:15 pmLadySnowcat said:
