Plus, there's going to be a lot of pressure on LH to win, not just eek out the driver's points championship. MM is one point up on Ferrari... MM in P1 and P5 (about par for HK) and Ferrari in P2 and P3 is a draw...Originally Posted by grillpt

The Canadian Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2009 schedule... Thanks Bernie. I was gonna next year too.
I guess the schedule was just too tight, the teams weren't too happy they weren't gonna get their summer break that they have been used too.

I guess F1 is completely abandoning the North American continent.

I have heard that the US GP will be back in 2010, but who knows...

Too many countries who have more money to pay off Bernie than the US and Canada, I guess.
Bummer, the Montreal race was a good one.

Interesting race. Quite exciting even while I fought the sleep. As usual, it's unfortunate when MM is not on the podium. I hope everyone can now see where the real talent lies?!?! You have a select group of folks who drive spiritedly, aggressively, and employ overtaking maneuvers that are safe and contact free. Then you have those who choose to drive aggressively and recklessly without regard for anyone else's vehicle and simply refuse to respect line priority.
Now penalizing Bourdais 25 points for having the inside line and holding his ground against Massa is just flat out wrong. If you can't safely get around someone, then wait until you can safely get around them. That doesn't apply to SF. Not one bit.
Passing a Ferrari is illegal. Touching a Ferrari.... Whoops, scratch that!!! A Ferrari touching you and loosing control is illegal and YOU will be penalized for it.
Mayday mayday...... Ferrari needs assistance... No worries, FIA to the rescue!!!!!!

Was really a great race to watch. One of the best this season in my opinion, even if it didn't end how i would have liked it to.
fernando alonso has been driving well for the last 2 races and i couldn't be happier. This race could weigh pretty heavy on where a bunch of drivers end up.

This was a great race with a good result. Alonso, Kubica and Raikonen on top. It would have been nice to see one of the Toyota drivers finish in the top 3 after the blistering times they were putting down. I agree with most of the penalties except the one that got handed to Sebastian Bourdais for the contact with Massa. Complete BS ....
Hamilton and Massa both got what they deserved, after their complete disregard for other drivers and the penalties they recieved. For a second there I thought I was watching NASCAR. Heikke should've also been penalized for his part in the start but his car blew up, poetic justice. The battle between Kubica and Raikonen was fun to watch, was cleanly preformed and should serve as an example of how its done.

I was very impressed with the race that Raikonen raced. He showed great restraint when he made the decision to stop trying to pass Kubica. If He would have tried for a few more laps there would have been a good chance that he would not have enough tire to finish the race. Really shows that he has accepted his role as the Ferrari number 2 drive. Instead of going for a finish were he could have been in the driver race still, he held back and scored some much needed constructors points (instead of risking a dnf) Im not sure that the Kimi of 3 races ago would have made that same decision.

His mistake was trying to pass a slower car driven by a reckless driver. Originally Posted by KevinD
