Rosberg thinking like a champion(Hamilton) with the new Bell helmet for the Canadian GP.

The rain delay at the Texas IndyCar race is pretty entertaining. Some of the drivers were having impromptu interviews and autograph sessions.

And Conor Daly supposedly tried getting a female fan's phone number.

I bet she said no.


News from our man on the ground in Canadia: Cold, drizzle, and very windy (blowing hats off people).

I haven't asked about his attire.

More rain on the way?

I think it's just going to be on and off light rain/showers. Currently there is nothing on the way that is moderate or heavy.

Buxton just said the team engineers said they don't know what the weather is going to do.

These bastards need to hire me. It looks like the race will be a dry tyre race BUT there is potential for light, very light spits of rain. Not enough to wet the track but could make it greasy at times.

That's a hell of holeshot by Seb.

I like what they did with the chicane here. Looks like it will cost you time going around that cone before rejoining.

Agreed. Seb lost a good amount of time at the end of lap 1 when he messed up the chicane.

What, do teams want Merc to win? This is going to be the 3rd race given away by Ferrari/RB. Is bad enough Merc has the best PU and a great chassis but the other teams are making it easy for them.

Radar still looks clear for now.

29 laps with Vettel 6.8 seconds back. I think he still has a shot.

Danny must not have tipped the pit guys or something. They really like screwing up his races.

I thought Ham would be able to go the distance on these tyres but I don't think they can. Of course I'm not sure if Seb can make his tyres last.

Someone needs to tell Britney if he's going to try the outside of T1 on Hami, then he should be prepared to A) get hit or B) lose a ton of places getting pushed out.

I thought he would've known this by now.

I hope Ham is sending some of his money to the guys at RB and Ferrari. He's got plenty of it and they are sure helping him out.

There is option C, he could be the one doing the hitting instead of just taking it. He should have turned into Ham. We all knew Ham wasn't going to leave him room.

Figured I'd watch the race on DVR...

Turned it on to see Obama and news coverage from Orlando.

Ah well. Caught the last 11 laps on NBCSE.

Nico... what a boob

Pretty damn good job by Versenna to hold off Nico. Granted it was Nico but still the Merc is a better package.

Brit pissed.

Cited going around the outside of Sweet Lew at Barcelona T1 and it sticking, but this time not.

But yea, be pissed.
