Canceled. Rare moment of common sense from F1.

This is great... Racing at Imola

If you're not happy with Sky coverage, ESPN2 is running an alternate broadcast of the Canadian GP with Daniel Ricciardo and Will Arnett that looks to be similar to the Peyton and Eli Monday Night football broadcast.

Ricciardo and Arnett to host F1 telecasts on ESPN

I am not going to tell you how much they were, but I am excited to have tickets to Montreal next month. On the off chance anyone else is going and need any recommendations let me know, I live in the area.

Hope you have a great time at all the race activities and atmosphere this weekend.

Post some pics, if you can

Rain should be out of the city before the race. Fingers crossed.

I had a favorite driver (Perez) and now I have a favorite team (I like both drivers, too).

Wrecks 'em? Reynolds, McElhenney join F1 team

I have never been to a race. Is it worth it?

Yes. No other car slows down, turns and gets out of the corner with the ferocity of an F1 car. From that aspect alone, it’s worth seeing them in person at least once in your lifetime.

The fact it took that long to get the car off the track is crazy. You screwed Norris. Push the thing 200 feet and it is off the track in 2 minutes.

Commit to bringing a truck out when you see that car stopped. It’s grass all around, 5 Brits aren’t pushing that race car through the grass.

Yes. I agree, that is why you push it down the asphalt.

De Vries out and Ricciardo in at Alpha Tauri effective immediately.

Hate it for NDV - but I think everyone saw it coming.

I guess this is a good situation for DR. He doesn't have to win in this car. Just perform better than NDV did (which should be hard, since Nic really didn't do anything to impress) and occasional be on par or better than Yuki...

Depends on the track and your seat. Be very wary of General Admission at some tracks.

Can someone briefly explain what happened with Hamilton and Mercedes? Why is Red Bull dominating?

Red Bull stole their stuff.

Red Bull (Newey) designed the superior car and Verstappen is an excellent driver.

I am... On DVR. Just too late to watch live.

Martin did torch F1 during the opening of FP2 & it was brutally honest.

Saw a quote of Max calling it 99% show and 1% sport or something. He’s not wrong.

I don't think many of the racers are thrilled to be there, with all the over the top theatrics going on. They just want to race.

I'm hopeful the course will work itself into a decent race...

It was a good race. The battle between Perez and Leclerc made for a great finish.

Agree - it worked itself out to be a good and fun race.

Here’s to hoping for a more competitive season in 24.

GOLD.... Just brilliant gold
