You're 8 minutes late! But you're lucky....qualifying actually started at 10:10 or 10:15am! :)

Actually I too was going to go with Robert in 2nd but I figured the Ferraris would be faster on a high-speed Circuit such as Canada. But man BMW almost had a "Pole" on "pole" for the 2nd time this year! But damn Englishman found 6ths more! :) Should be a fun race....and as Bob B. mentioned it's on FOX channel :( Replay on Speed mid-week. So basically no pre-race stuff on FOX.

Fortunately, the production is the same as all of the rest of the stuff on Speed.

So far, a great race.

Edit: A truly great race. There's a couple of guys that probably won't get as many votes in the next coupla weeks... :lol: :roll:

My complaint about Fox is that late in the race they cut away too much. Five laps of racing, commercials that cover two laps; rinse and repeat. And the promotional graphics that cover the FOM feed. I'm sure everyone who's a fan of Family Guy knows it's on tonight. Not quite as bad as last year, but still ... :x

Fox has the next three races also, France, Germany, Britain. France is 10 a.m. to Noon on the West coast.

The race coverage wasn't that bad. The lack of pre-race coverage is a little annoying, but when they cut the post race interviews short for an infomercial I was pissed.

It was pretty much like last year. Speed's broadcast team, since it's owned by Fox; still many commercial interruptions.

Something seems fishy with the points standings. Not like I already calculated it or anything... }:)

If you notice your picks are incorrect let me know but basically not too many people moved up the charts or moved at all because they all were riding the "DERAILED" Ferrari Bandwagon!! :)
