Formula One: 2008

F1Filter · 06-05-2008, 02:03 PM

If the weather forecast holds true, this is going to be a full 2 hour race. Thunderstorms are predicted for at least Fri and Sat sessions. With a very good chance of them also during race day.

This race usually has the most SC sessions out of all the races. So all this rain is only going to make matters worse.

Should be a fun weekend.

Let's kick it! Tourists everywhere!!!

I love it when the world is watching Montreal.

Temperatures should go up to 40˚ Celsius tomorrow with humidex factor... Pilots are going to loose 25 pounds of sweat each!

Let's hope Kubica stays on the track this year!

Are you going to the race? That would be insane to see a F-1 race

If you've never been to a F-1 race. You must go. Especially if the USGP is coming back to the calendar next year as rumored. TV doesn't do the whole spectacle any sort of justice.

I'm predicting a BMW win tomorrow. Just need for it to rain as forecasted here

Apex1rg7x · 06-07-2008, 09:01 PM

I thought they were totally getting rid of the USGP all together? I wanna go pretty bad but just never got too one.

I predict a Ferrari win...Felipe Massa FTW!!

Based upon his dominance in qualifying and 2nd practice, I'm predicting Hamilton for the win, he seems to have a lot of control and confidence round the place, no-one can touch him in the final sector. He made up about half a second in the final sector on his pole lap alone.

In terms of the USGP, it is gone for now, but I wouldn't be that surprised to see it back, all the manufacturers want it back.

Also, I went to the Belgian Grand Prix last year, and it was an experience I'll never forget, definitely worth doing

It's a cool experience, depending on where you are seated.

That last lap was him at the absolute limit. I thought he did some overly aggressive curb-hopping on the last chicane, which would've cost him the pole. Seriously. That was an awesome lap.

If it doesn't rain during the race. It's Hamilton's race to lose. Ferrari had absolutely no straight line speed during today's sessions. Kimi's comments during the press conference made it sound like they're having grip problems. So maybe they're just running more wing than the other teams?

The circuit at Indianapolis wouldn't have been ready for a USGP anyway. They're in the process of changing the layout of the infield circuit for MotoGP. Bernie visited the circuit this past week to see the progress on the circuit improvements. But I think he'd rather have a street race in the US again. The new races at Valencia and Singapore kind of hint this.

stuh84 · 06-07-2008, 11:42 PM

Yeah a street race would be great to see, as long as its not in a car park in Las Vegas

You guys don't get the same pre-show we do obviously, there was an interview with Hamilton saying the curb is where he makes up his time, and it shows, I could see how much ground he gained on that, absolutely amazing that guy.

Can't wait to see MotoGP at Indianapolis though, thats going to be something.
