Official Formula 1 Grand Prix du Canada 2012 Chat & Predictions

Yes it is pretty tough to pick out one- perhaps Jean-Eric Vergne?

 

His Monaco dnf?

 

I think Button was at fault in Monaco, he certainly wasn't blameless.

 

Schumacher vs. Hamilton atm.

 

I've gone for Leonardo Di Caprio

highest point scorer in the last 4 races, had the pace to win in Monaco

Mercedes engine, McLaren kers, DRS-duct, good traction out of corners.

Schumacher will be leading in to the last lap of the race where upon he will be abducted by aliens leaving Di Caprio free to take the win.

 

Well I think it will be Hamilton if McLaren don't **** it up but after the start to the season we have had, who knows....

 

I never realised he looked like Di Caprio. Now i think about it, he does a bit.

 

Xevi Pujolar's track guide,

 

So far, people voting in mass for 1 driver have failed to become reality in the end.

Seb, Alonso or Mark will somehow win this race now as they are being ignored by the voters here. The obvious never really seem to win by the looks of it and I wouldn't be surprised if somehow both Michael and Nico fail to get on the podium this weekend.

 

I'm surprised by the number of votes for Hamilton. I'd expect Mercedes to dominate the race, with McLaren, Red Bull and Lotus fighting for the final place on the podium. You've also got Ferrari a little bit behind them but they have Alonso and updates.

 

I don't think the favourite voted here has ever won this year.

Australia: Lewis/Seb? 2nd/ 3rd. (Jenson)
Malaysia: Jenson? No points. (Alonso)
China: Lewis, 3rd. (Rosberg)
Bahrain: Lewis, 8th. (Vettel)
Spain: Lewis? 8th. (Maldonado)
Monaco: Lewis, 5th. (Webber)
Canada: Lewis, (????)

 

Clearly the votes are jinxing the favourite, shame on you all

 

Hamilton is due a win but of course that means nothing.

Riakkonen, Hamilton and Schumacher all have a reasonable chance of winning and becoming our seventh victor but I feel this race may end up skewed due to weather and probably safety cars. I can see Hamilton making the podium along with Alonso, but I can't really see either of them winning. Maybe Grosjean

Things can often be lost in translation between the bild and english, so what do you think?

 

I expect Schumi to stay 1 more year before the new regulations come in 2014. The Mercedes team is coming good now and I wouldn't bet against them winning this year or next for the WDC.

Mercedes might be trying to hold out for Seb if they can show they can deliver a better car than RBR.

 

So we expecting 30+ second pitstops then?

He's also taking a swipe at Button

and villeneuve

Darren Heath is the photographer who's F1 big image appears on the BBC site for those who recognise the name.

 

Heath is bellend, he was the one who started slagging Kubica off immediately after his rally crash while everyone was still worried whether he was going to survive let alone race again.

I think it will be.
1 Button
2 Alonso
3 Schumacher

 

My thoughts on Webbers mood on the whole, illegal floor issue: I reckon he knew he had an advantage against Seb with the "added performance" out of the diffuser. It was justtttttttt... giving him enough to be happy with the car, so he was able to push it more. But this was not enough to make Seb as happy, possibly influencing performances and maybe why Mark looked to be getting stronger until this point, where Seb was really still in limbo and testing things out. Seb sounds like it doesn't affect him with these holes being changed, but Mark sounded a bit more pissed off than usual with this rule change.
