Canada... Just 7 days away!







Formula 1 2011 FIA Review :: Felipe Massa Onboard Final Lap + Overtake on Kobayashi - Canada 2011 - YouTube

June 1
Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo insists that no decision has been taken as to who will partner Fernando Alonso next year.

Speaking to Reuters, he insisted that it was too early to seal the fate of Felipe Massa, who has struggled to get on the pace this year.

“We never take a decision before the second half of the season,” he said. “I'm sure that, because we are improving our car, the car will be less difficult to drive. And I expect from Felipe better performances as I have already seen in Monte Carlo, because in Monte Carlo he was among the five quickest drivers on the track and in the qualifiers.

“So I hope he will continue like this. At the moment we are not taking any decision yet for the future, because it is too early.”

Montezemolo also played down the prospects of Ferrari academy member Sergio Perez joining the team: “Perez is a good driver but to drive a Ferrari you need more experience. I think he is one of the potential best young drivers for the future but before putting a young driver in a Ferrari I need more experience and more results.”

BBC Sport - Red Bull must change 'illegal' holes in cars' floors What`s the story here?
I wish some of the cars I had went faster with holes in the floor, just made the floor mat wet.

The holes were for the exhaust to exit. You can notch the side of the floor but you can't put holes through it.

More surgery for Kubica

Robert Kubica has had further surgery on his elbow in an effort to improve mobility

And...

Massa:
“I definitely feel more confident now,” he concluded. “I feel stronger as well. It was very good compared to the start of the season, but we cannot be satisfied and now I want us to work hard to get something more. If we find the right direction, I know what I can do.”
Last years race..... While we wait.

Why does Fox have the race broadcast? I don't get it. It's just cherry picking as far as I can see. Fox cares nothing of F1 or it's fans. And if you are like me, Fox pisses me off.

AGREED How or why they have the broadcast is beyond me! Their show will start with the drop of the green flag or sometime after. No post race interviews. Fox sucks!!! $$$ doesn't buy class or brains....

Try using FirstRow Watch Live F1 Race Online | Moto GP online Stream | Formula 1 live streaming and Moto GP Free Stream Once you get the hang of it you will find the coverage MUCH better. It takes some time to figure it out so try it now/early. As I have witnessed you should be able to view pre- practice stuff and VIEW Fridays 1st practice.

Start with this to figure out the pop-up crap. When in full screen ( a separate window) the garbage doesn't appear; if at all.

Race World Tv Live Stream Online

A low-pressure weather system lying to the south-east of Montreal is producing cool conditions in the area at the moment. Thunderstorms are expected on Friday afternoon which could coincide with the second practice session at 2pm.

Lighter rain is forecast on Saturday, which could make for an interesting qualifying session. But conditions for the race are expected to be much better.

Not sure why the "Heads" at Fox bought it....seems a bit out of their job jar.
Sky going through the computer is not bad ....resolution is not HD and that really sucks..I will run both Fox and computer at the same time...I hope FIRSTROW is stable it be a bit sporty to get working
