Think the beeb should have chucked a camera each on Lee and Ted and sent them through the paddock seeing what's about by now. Listening to Brundle and Coulthard fill for this long isn't really great television.

The problem is now that the Euro audience has now switched off F1 coverage and all the TV companies except the BBC aren't going to run this race into their prime-time TV slots.

Sure it's easy as you like to say that AFTER the incident happened.

At the end of the day, it was a racing incident. Button misjudged how close Hamilton was, because he clearly saw him, and Hamilton shouldn't have tried it.

As far as team-mate collisions go, it's not really too huge considering Hamilton & Button have battled cleanly plenty of times before.


yeah its def not something big, but still he took a risk by going there, when he clearly knew that was the racing line, why would button not take the racing line?
shumacher was in front. And when he pulls a stunt like this earlier with webber, i cant see how i can give him the benefit of the doubt though.
but it was funny to see button clearly looking in the mirrors.

I'd rather see drivers taking risks rather than sitting behind each other for 90 minutes.

One time at this track the nascar busch series used wet tires for the first time, they made a big deal about it because they always bring them but never had used them. so its happened once.

Interesting, looks like 2 hours isn't an issue (clock stopped), we'll run out of light before we run out of time.

What ? No. June is the month with the longest day in Montreal.

Anyway, rain should stop soon.

You miss my meaning. If the clock was still running the race would be over in about 20 minutes. As it stands, there's plenty of time to get it restarted.
