Commentators are obviously getting bored, chatting about anything now. I can still see this being abandoned, despite the time we have.

How is it for daylight in Canada? Have they got plenty of time to restart if the weather clears, and it won't be a repeat of Malaysia 2009 or Korea last year?

What the hell was that package the Renault guys had there?

How can Di resta be complaining about rain? He's from Scotland, where when Noah turned up with his ark saying there was gonna be 40 days and 40 nights of rain, the locals replied 'heh look at this chancer 'ere? You say we're gonna have 40 days and 40 nights of rain? We're already on 52!'

yeah it's nice to know there's still a few quality tracks out there. I always look forward to Canada.

I think there was a full lap of SC before red flag, so no changes.

If there is any changes, Massa might inherit 2nd as his pitstop was a lap later than Vettel's

A Hispania radio transfer on feed.

...Another reason why I enjoy this "race"

Good old Webber 'they've got nothing to lose waiting for a few hours, why not?' Awesome, keep the show going

If the race ends as it does, Glock moves ahead of Maldonado in the standings.

sswishbone · Post by **sswishbone** » 12 Jun 2011, 18:50

Lol Maldonado's year gets worse, my god

It's tea-time at McLaren. Come on. Get this race started, already!

Rihanna, go home.

Yep,keep waiting we've got a few hours till sunset

Australia 91=-if they'd waited an hour or two they'd have been able to run. Malaysia had to be abandoned because it was too late at night.Once the rain finishes,we should we able to go PDQ

In Mid-June, Montreal doesn't get dark until 22:00 local time. The race started at 13:00. However, there is another storm on the way. There's a window of an hour or two, beginning about now.

I'm thinking they'll give James May's Toy Stories the elbow and whack this onto BBC2, or just go the whole hog and shift it all onto Red Button.

We need an Eddie Jordan spoon music show thingy. Falling cameramen are always amusing timekillers tho.

S951 · Post by **S951** » 12 Jun 2011, 18:59

stop raining in 10 min supposedly maybe restart by 20min past the hour

I think Kamui may have dyed his hair compared to my avatar, which I think was pre-Melbourne this year.

Agreed! I understand we need fillers on the screen as there is no racing, so show us more F1 flashbacks!
