True

I am just trying to rile F1 folks up in this thread. I do watch NASCAR (start and end of a race but not the boring middle part) but only because my kids like to turn up the surround sound to hear the cars go by. Never was much into F1 growing up in Ireland or any motorsports TBH.

[Steve]

What a crap sport. Follow NASCAR where there is passing and around 25 different drivers who are not on the pole can actaully win a race

Redneck alert!

The Hamilton Fans have gone very quiet

The Hamilton Fans have gone very quiet

He was VERY poor yesterday, his temperament has to questioned, i suppose being in the Maclaren did not help either.

Ferrari's are looking VERY strong, infact you can't see past them for both the constructors and drivers championship.

The Hamilton Fans have gone very quiet

Still a quality driver, made a mistake on Friday, the best make mistakes, look at Schumacher in Melbourne in 2007.

Alonso is a cunt too I wanna slap those eyebrows off his face.

BMW have shown that they have a strong hand in the constructors champioship, they have reliable cars, Ferrari have had their problems over the last 12 months

Lewis Hamilton will be demoted 10 places on the grid at the French Grand Prix on 22 June as punishment for his pit-lane accident in Montreal. The Englishman ran into the back of Kimi Raikkonen as the Ferrari driver waited at a red light at the exit. Both were forced to retire.

Race stewards gave Williams driver Nico Rosberg, who ran into the back of Hamilton's car, the same penalty. Hamilton apologised to Raikkonen for ending his Canadian Grand Prix. The punishment capped a weekend turned sour for Hamilton, who had qualified in pole position and was seemingly on his way to back-to-back wins in Montreal.

The McLaren driver had built up a 6.8-second lead over Kubica before the safety car emerged on lap 17 following Adrian Sutil's crash. When the pit lane reopened two laps later, Hamilton took on board enough fuel to see him through to the end of the race. But in his hurry to get back out, and not lose sight of Raikkonen and BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica who had both refuelled first, he ran into the back of Raikkonen.

Raikonnen and Kubica had been lined up side-by-side waiting for the pit lights to turn green, signalling that they could return to the track. "I saw the two guys in front of me battling in the pit lane and all of a sudden they stopped," explained Hamilton, 23. "I saw the red light but it was too late to stop. I don't think it's a racing incident. It's unfortunate. It is a lot different if you crash into the wall and you are angry with yourself. I apologise to Kimi if I ruined his race. I would rather neither of us be out. I was so quick I was breezing it."

Kubica, who went on to claim a maiden Grand Prix win in Montreal, was happy to emerge unscathed from the incident. ''We all pitted together," said the Pole. "I saw Kimi side by side with me. Then I just heard a big shunt and saw Kimi's moving and realised it was Lewis. He was over Kimi's rear wing. I just kept concentrating waited for the green light and managed to pull away well. I have to thank him that he shunts Kimi and not me."

can't believe something interesting happened in the race today and I missed it
great that even the best drivers in the world can do what most of us will have done at some time

like alot of people I know, I watch the start, perhaps the first lap or two then work out the approx finishing time and then come back to it with a few laps left

[Joe King]

Alonso swore in his interview. The muppet

[-V-]

Its such a stupid sport at times. One moment Hamilton has a 7 second lead and then all because some idiot crashed into a wall everybody else gets halted and the race leader's lead is gone

****in stupid if you ask me
