Despite the civil unrest going in Bahrain, the FIA have rescheduled the race to Oct 30th and made the Indian GP the final round. Its proving to be a very unpopular decision as many of the teams along with current and former drivers being against it. I've read that Bahrain citizens are planning a "day of rage" to coincide with the race as a form of protest against the decision to race.
Thoughts?

Montreal tomorrow. I'm surprised the McLarens performed in qualifying. I was expecting Lewis to be in at least P2.

It's not quite F1, but I highly recommend tuning into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, as it's been one of the tightest Le Mans races in years.
It's on Eurosport right now.

Last weekend. Toro Rosso did an exhibition in Japan, the marshal didnt know he was coming as he went to cross, so jumped at the last minute walked away uninjured.
That Le Mans crash was crazy btw.

Haven't seen such a rainy season in a while. Hamilton out in lap 7. Vettel even cut a corner very badly.

Great race. Karma got Hamilton for Monaco and his error on Webber, which was great. How about the steward that tripped on the track? And then Vettel losing it on the last lap, haha.

Even through I wanted to tear my hair out over the overuse of the safety car, the Canadian GP turned out to be one of the best races I've seen. I'm relieved I didn't head off to bed when the red flag went up, like I'd planned.
Also was I hearing things or did the crowd boo Vettel on the podium?

I thought I heard some jeering from the crowd as well. The crowd could have been booing he dignitary handing Vettel his trophy. I think that's happened at Canada before.

Good thing any pit stops before the red flag were effectively nullified. Jenson had 2 pits and a drive through penalty. I was hoping Schumacher would get to the podium, but Webber edged him just barely.

Blown Diffusers are being banned Silverstone onward and map changes to the engine starting from qualifying to the race are banned as well. Hopefully this clips the wings of the Sebastian Vettel a bit and allow the other boys to come and fight for the WDC.
Bring on Valencia!

I wasn't surprised by the results on Top Gear. Speaking of Vettel, hes only about 50 points from the total he won the 2010 Championship with. If he wins the next two races or at least maintains podiums for the next three or fours, he pretty much secures the the 2011 Championship.

German GP just came to an end. Wonderful and exciting race. Lots of pit lane action. Finally Vettel does not finish on the podium and I get another McLaren win via Lewis Hamilton! WOOOO!

Has interest in F1 dropped? After a long break from Hungary, qualifying in Spa just ended. I have to say its one of the best qualifying sessions I've seen. P1 was being tossed around and fought for up until the final lap. However, I think the most astonishing result is Bruno Senna in his first qualifying session of the year qualifying 7th, higher than Alonso and his own teammate, Petrov.
Great stuff.

Maldonardo was quite silly. Monaco & now in Spa, Hamilton & he, have touched wheels, but when he swerved into Hamiton.... it was silly. The stewards, Mansell, will say he was using his car as a weapon & it should be Maldonado out of the rest of the weekend.
On the rest of the action.... its about what you expect from Spa...

Exciting race for the most part, but rather crappy results for me. Vettel despite his whining before the race gets another win.

Yeah, it was a good race. My favourite bit was watching Lewis explode through that sign. Shit flying everywhere.

Vettel already surpassed his Championship-winning points from last year. Damn, that's amazing.
