Mercedes should be strong in Montreal, and Hamilton usually goes well there. I think Lotus will be strong as well, they seem to top the speed traps quite a bit. Very real chance of seeing a 7th driver take a win there.
Who is actually in the lead this year? Last year I was on an roll with making almost every call and this year I can't call crap lol!
i like this guy, I hope he can keep it up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8mKcqN8mw8&feature=youtu.be

Going back to this story it goes deeper than it looks. Mark Hughes (respected journalist) for the sunday times found this out by asking Lewis' XIX entertainment group with regard to his future. They said they confronted Ferrari seeing if Lewis could join next year, they said they would of loved to have him there, but sadly only for a year as they told them they already signed up Seb for 2014 as an option. So Seb must have a hidden clause in his contract that if Ferrari came calling he was able to leave a year early if he felt Ferrari would be able to make a strong car every year. So Lewis was told he would only be able to drive for Ferrari for 2013 if he did join and would have to step aside for Seb the next year. Mark Hughes said this is how he came about with this information, XIX entertainment told him about this deal with Seb and Ferrari. I know a lot of rumours have been going about Massa's seat, but this one just looks deeper and more possible than just "Kubica to Ferrari, Mark to Ferrari, Di Resta to Ferrari". Alonso denied it all the way until it did happend, even Ferrari denied it when it happend
Hughes works for Sky now, and as any football fan should be able to tell you, they're serial bullshit merchants when it comes to things like this, they're no more respectable than a tabloid, and The Sunday Times is owned by News Corp. The whole things sounds like bull as well, why would Ferrari tell Simon Fuller that? They could just as easily have said they had someone else signed for 2014. Pretty sure it wouldn't be as lighthearted as that either, they'd surely discuss it with Fernando first given the history between the two of them.
Whoever has access to Autosport Plus should post the driver ratings so that we can have our eiko-annual* "Why The Person Picking These Ratings Is Wrong" debate... *without looking it up that is my effort at "twenty times a year" *
Didn't realise they put it up on the site, I thought it was just in the mag. I guess they're the same ratings as it's Edd Straw who does them in the mag.
Ratings from Autosport PLUS: Vettel 8 Webber 10 Button 3 Hamilton 7 Alonso 8 Massa 8 Schumacher 9 Rosberg 9 Raikkönen 5 Grosjean 4 di Resta 8 Hulkenberg 9 Kobayashi 6 Perez 6 Ricciardo 7 Vergne 6 Maldonado 2 Senna 6 Kovalainen 9 Petrov 4 de la Rosa 8 Karthikeyan 6 Glock 9 Pic 6 Not happy with some of these, as always.
