Montreal is well worth the trip.  We did it a few years ago and had a great time.  We're planning to go back in a few years.

Great race yesterday.  If Alonso's tires hadn't given up towards the end, I think he would have won.  Hamilton deserved it, after his pit stop problems in the earlier races, even though he had some issues again this week.  McLaren really needs to work on those.

Anyone catch Bernie's comment about a London GP? He claims it will be better for London than the Olympics. Seriously, Bernie? Granted, it would be for multiple years instead of just once, but still....

The article also says that Bernie might be prepared to pay a 35 million pound sanctioning fee himself. Isn't that effectively taking money from his right pocket and putting it in his left pocket

That crazy Bernie!  He might as well use it, he can't take it with him.

Hopefully Bernie will be going to prison

The Austrailan GP was a terrific start for the new season.  NBC Sports did an excellent job of taking over where Speed left off.  The after race show was very good with various driver interviews, Speed was always lacking in this respect. 

I'm a big Kimi fan so I was delighted to see him win the race.  Vettel looked a bit shell shocked on the podium.

No doubt it was a great race. Those super soft tires are an interesting variable this season. I can't help but cheer for Kimi after leaving for the WRC and then coming back last year. Kudos to Force India for a strong showing as well. Sebring was a blast to watch as well. Some of those penalties they were calling were crazy though.

Really looking forward to the Malaysian GP.  It will be very interesting, we'll see a bit more how things are shaking out this season.

Action packed Malaysian GP. Loved Hamilton's pit faupau!  Alonzo made rare boo, boo. It would be great for F1 if Webber would've kicked Vettel's ass on live TV, it be like the old NASCAR days.  Bernie would love it!  Lol.

+1 on Webber taking Vettel to the woodshead for an attitude adjustment.  I can't believe that Red Bull primo Christian Horner permits that kind of insubordination from his driver. 

Who does this Vettel kid think he is Michael Schumacher or Ayrton Senna or Alain Prost, or Nigel Mansel, or Didier Pironi or ... any of the other prima donnas who have graced (disgraced) F1 by their malfeasance?

Hey DFV,

DFV, as in Cosworth?  If not, you're lucky to have such cool initials!  Especially as a F1 fan.

Chinese GP should be fun, since it's too hard to tell if any particular team has an upper hand at this point in the season. Who knows, Mercedes may surprise again. However, being a Kimi fan.....

Rush looks like it's going to be a fun movie. Looking forward to it.

The Chinese GP showed how good Alonso and Ferrari are this year.
