Everyone looking pretty racey in practice, can't wait for quali.

At Monaco I always thought that they should have some sort of alternate route that was a second or so quicker than the main route. Once open, say ten laps in, each driver is given three altroute passes to use when wanted throughout the race. Would add some excitement to the procession.
Qualifying should be good. Time for Perez and or Maldonado to step it up... The great ones have to shine here.

well done msc. Now if he can just make it thru the first turn he should be able to finish 5th or better. I was expecting more out of KR and what has happened to button. He has really fallen off form.

Hey guys I have a question. What do you think would happen if you took one of the top drivers, and put them in one of the worst cars? I have been wondering if the bottom cars are really that bad, or are the top drivers really that good?

What do you guys think?

Thanks.

I always thought it would be cool to see an F1 "pro-bowl" of sorts at the end of the season. Just a fun race somewhere, where all the drivers get randomly shuffled into different cars

That was a great race. i was pulling for Heikki to score a point, bit i knew it was not to be.

On a sort of F1 related subject ... f' Franchitti.

Race of champions, not just f1 drivers but there are usually a few there.

Its the roc ... about as close as you are going to get to showcasing some of the drivers.

One thing that is overlooked by many casual fans is the work great drivers do to setup and develop the cars. Hamilton was a huge benefactor of Alonso's ability to do this,,,as any rookie would have been in 07. Schumi has done it his whole career. It would be cool to have everyone start with identical cars and let them develop them throughout the year,,,

Yepp. There's a reason not all of us are Formula 1 drivers...

That vid really captures the lighting change coming out of the tunnel.. Insane. Great lap.

Coolest thing you'll see all day, an F1 car split down the middle.

Cool vid, love when he shows how he can't even fit the apple anywhere.. And I never realized the drivers legs were up so high. Kudos to sauber for doing this.

I am predicting a 1,2 qualiy for Merc, they ought to be strong this weekend. Glad they went to one drs zone for the race, as last year it was a bit of a joke how easy cars were passed in canada.

Chance of thunderstorms on Sunday. That's always fun!
