GAY no press conference

[chiuey]

It almost looked to me like Kimi lifted at the end of that lap

The ferraris just don't seem to have that extra mechanical grip on the hairpin

[Redliner]

does ITV show the interviews???

who watches the interviews? I can paraphrase what all of them will say:

Kimi: *mumbly mumbly mumbly* vodka *mumbly mumbly mumbly* good race *mumbly* fast *mumbly mumbly* double shot, etc...
Fred: *blah blah* linkin park *blah blah* staind *blah blah* unibrow, etc...
Massa: MY GREEN CRAYON TASTES LIKE GREEN!
Hewey Lewis: eat this bread in rememberance of me. Who wants to see the water-to-wine thing again?
Nico: *crickets chirp* Um, do I talk now?
Kubbi: -ok, I have nothing for him.-

[chiuey]

anyways, it's quarter past one in the morning, so I'm going to bed. see you guys online tomorrow.

[psykosis]

FUCK YOU BLACK JESUS.

[AErrorist]

Jesus, either Hamilton is on fumes, or that car is just fucking fast. He was 1.2s infront of Heikki, so who knows.

[psykosis]

SHUT UP!

I don't want to hear your gospel.

[Nacho]

I thought Kubica had it outta nowhere, then Hamilton pulled it out of the bag at the last second.

I would rather have seen Kubica take it.

And I expect Hammy to walk the field, even if I don't want him to.

[Nacho]

hopefully as quick as Hammy went he's on a very light fuel load, if not he's gonna DOMINATE tomorrow...

Remember that Montreal was his first F1 victory....

I don't think he's that light. I'd say he's a fuel'd a few laps shorter than the Ferrari's/Kubica but not drastically so.

@ DJ Jarno Trulli spinnin' like its his job..

Montreal hairpin to be resurfaced

By Jonathan Noble Saturday, June 7th 2008, 22:21 GMT

Canadian Grand Prix officials have begun resurfacing of the hairpin at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to try and prevent further track problems in tomorrow's race.

With resurfaced parts of the circuit having started to fall apart during qualifying, most drivers were fearful about the state of the track for Sunday's 70-lap encounter.

Following discussions between track bosses and FIA race director Charlie Whiting, it was agreed that the hairpin - which was the worst affected part of the circuit – would be resurfaced this evening.

Canadian GP executive vice president Francois Dumontier said: "We have been monitoring the situation extensively.

"This year we chose a new specialist to settle the issue, but obviously conditions related to the technological evolution of the race cars do create some problems.

"Aggressive adhesion of grooved tyres, removal of traction control systems and the actual physical configuration of the hairpin corner itself could all be probable causes for this situation.

"We will correct this problem as soon as the last car leaves the track today, and everything will be rectified for tomorrow's races."

Kimi Raikkonen was one of several drivers unhappy about the recurrence of track problems in Montreal.

"I think it's quite disappointing to see these problems again, especially in qualifying already," he said. "In previous years we have seen in the races that it's starting to break up, but here already in Q1 we had problems.

"After every single qualifying the track was cleaned but after one lap it was again in the same condition. It's a nice track, everything is nice but it shouldn't happen in my opinion."

Parts of the track were resurfaced ahead of this year's race to try and prevent the high tyre wear problems that occurred in the 2007 race.

It is understood that a more major overhaul of the track will be considered for 2009 when race officials meet following the weekend to evaluate what has happened.

anyone have more details on exactly what they are doing to the track overnight? im no civil engineer, but the recommended hardening time for asphalt is around 3 days (enough for public transport use). it takes months to fully cure..

i was thinking the same thing... this might hold out for a couple laps but not the complete race...
it's like putting a bandaid on the side of a sinking boat...

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully they don't fuck it up
