    Re: Canadian F1

    Didn't get to watch the race, was sound asleep given it started at 4AM on a Monday morning. Sounds like I missed a classic.

    Shame about my tenner on Alonso for pole and win at 22-1.

    Oh, you mean that guy who is supposedly a faster driver than his younger team mate?

    --- Post Update ---

    Another impressive drive from Perez

    And Montezemolo thinks he's too inexperienced?, **** the experience, bring the pace and experience will come later!

    I think Vettel stole MS's bag of luck.

    Well MS was never the luckiest of drivers, even when he was at his best. I remember one season where he kept getting taken out on the first corner by various drivers and how many championships did he lose out on because of car failures on or near the last race.

    Many would say it was karma.

    Yeah, he didn't much luck when was driving the fastest car on the grid. And even then his teammate had to pull over to let him win.

    1 time out of how many races? and that win was repaid in full

    schumacher was so lucky to

    1, Clutch at Suzuka 98 costing him the world championship
    2, broke his leg in 1999 when he would have easily won the championship.
    3, Engine at Suzuka 2006 costing him the world championship

    could so easily have been 10 WDC , 12 if he stayed on for 2 years extra with ferrari

    Many would say it was karma.
    many would say the same thing about ayrtons death
