2011 Formula One World Championship - Round Seven - Canadian Grand Prix (10-12 June 2011)

Well its good to see Vettel succumb to pressure finally.
Only bad thing is we now have to hear God save the queen.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Isn't Button under investigation?

 

[rayven]

A Few Points.
Hamilton won the race for Buttun when he took Webber out on lap 1.
Golden Boy choked.
Buttun come of age.
Schuey relived some old times.
They should of banned front wings.
Can see why they made the decision to restrict DRS on these fast tracks.

 

[Herbs]

Even if Vettel didn't make a mistake, Button would've passsed him in the DRS zone anyway. That McLaren had stupid amounts of pace.

 

[Swan2Didak]

What a race! Race of the Year and Drive of the year from Button. Boy there have been some good races this year.

Was great to see Golden Boy choke and **** it up for once.

 

[Simple Jack]

Brilliant. That is what we were robbed of in Monaco. Worth the wait.

Edit- I can't stand Vettel but he shouldn't be boo'd on the podium. Maybe if he took out a Canadian driver but not like he was

 

[rayven]

That McLaren had stupid amounts of pace.

The wet evened out the authority the RB7's have handling wise but it didn't even out the acceleration and speed authority the mercedes engines have on this circuit with long straights.

Cracking race.

 

[Swan2Didak]

Isn't Button under investigation?

McLaren will tell Hamilton to take the blame for the accident.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

McLaren will tell Hamilton to take the blame for the accident.

Yeah, but Button just put his foot in his mouth in the interview by saying he didn't see Hamilton and apologized to him.

He'll keep the win, though.

 

[rayven]

I thought he was under investigation for hitting Alonso?

He'll get a grid penalty for that because he's white..

 

[Warsaw]

That'd teach me to go to bed early.

 

[Bad Santa]

for anyone wondering, this race is being shown again today at 12:20pm (melb anyway) on One HD. Ive seen none of this event yet and the race sounds juicy! Know what Im doing for the next few hours.

 

[Sven]

Hamilton again proves he lacks any idea on how to overtake anyone and takes Webber out early. How long before the stewards say no more??

For those who missed it:

What Hamilton was doing driving over the kerbs in the wet is beyond me....

 

[BomberFletch31]

Do those of you who are happy that Vettel didn't win actually realise that he increased his lead in the Driver's Championship thanks to Hamilton and Alonso both having a bad race?

Great race overall, what an exciting finish. I'm not too unhappy to see the race win go to Button, he drove a fantastic race from last to first and deserve the victory. Driver of the day by a long mile.

Bring on Valencia!

[don vito of fitzroy]

Boo Button! I thought the Brits were clean and honourable.

 

[JUBJUB]

Did Ali G cop a penalty for spinning AMW at the start of the race ?
I hope AMW flipped Ali G the bird as he drove by him after he got taken out by his own teammate

 

[Sven]

and for those who haven't seen it - here's the final lap, complete with German audio....

That marshall def would need a change of underwear after seeing Kobiyashi coming round that corner

 

[ManWithNoName]

Another Grand Prix, another thread full of hysterical childish comments about Sebastian Vettel.

God it's tiring.

 

[Simple Jack]

'Sebastian Vettel ist on absolut limit' - understood that bit.

It would be interesting watching with the BBC commontary vs the german one.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

I thought Vettel handled himself very well after the race. Acknowledged his mistake and was gracious even though he'd be pissed off at himself.

I don't really get all the hate, tbh.

 

[drd23]

All the hate for Vettel probably comes from a similar same place that my irrational hate of Lewis Hamilton comes from - a young, successful, brash driver who has a couple of annoying character traits.

 

[that_dood]

Do those of you who are happy that Vettel didn't win actually realise that he increased his lead in the Driver's Championship thanks to Hamilton and Alonso both having a bad race?

The championship is over. Vettel will win it with races in hand. Good to see someone else win a race though.

Cracking drive from Button with numerous stops and from last to first at one stage.

Webber did alright in the end, struggled with grip though.

 

[larrikin]

All the hate for Vettel probably comes from a similar same place that my irrational hate of Lewis Hamilton comes from - a young, successful, brash driver who has a couple of annoying character traits.

Based on this season any Hamilton hate is justified. Absolute cowboy
