How the hell did Kimi manage to finish in points.

The Mercedes tire test certainly is interesting. They can't keep the tires on the car, get invited to a special test where they get to run 1,000km for Pirelli and suddenly they are completely fine with tire wear. It will be interesting to see what the FIA does if anything. Easiest solution to me is to allow the other teams a 1,000km test of their choice rather than penalizing Mercedes.
All the red flags caused me to miss the end of the race, DVR ran out of recording time.

Well, they were strong last year at Monaco too. This track isn't severe on tires having low speed corners and very few traction depended zones. That is why even Caterhams and Williams were in the same pack and setting times closer to the leaders.

Every time I get back into F1, the FIA does something this stupid.
"Hey, Pirelli wants us to do a test. "
" Sure. Go ahead. "
" We suck. We can't make decisions, we might penalize you because we are a bunch of old leathery hags that know nothing about racing. "
Fuck you, FIA.
I'm not even a fan of anyone in particular. I just want good racing with sensible rules.

Either it was his escorts:
Or watching his last two laps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxTgZ...ature=youtu.be
apparently Bottas let him by because of a misunderstanding on his radio thinking that Kimi was leading the race or something

I love the Montreal track. Just a really good layout of everything I want to see.
Also, the Wall of Champions

Bottas is the surprise of this quali, but tomorrow is predicted to be dry so I guess we will see some action during the first half.

Hopefully Lewis doesn't have to say "I just got passed by a Williams" again, lol.

If memory serves a marshal was killed at the Canadian GP about ten years ago when he was struck by a flying wheel from a crashed car. Wasn't that the last F1 marshal to die during a race?

I thought it was the Canadian GP as well. Turns out it was the 2001 Australian GP.
