Kimi was VERY high up on my list of F1 drivers to respect, he is now WAY OUT IN FRONT, one for the way he dealt with him on track, and even more so with that kind comment  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It is awful at the moment. I think most drivers have said that they are not enjoying this season at all. This was yet another race where the drivers was not allowed to race to full potential due to the tyres, you could see how slow they was going as when Vettel did push at the end he took over 2 seconds off his best time

They are using different kind of tyres in Canada so hopefully it will get better as right now it is just not real racing

Not anymore, FIA plus Ferrari / Lotus stepped in and stopped Pirelli making the changes they wanted which was to switch back to the 2012 tyres. it would have been against the rules to change the tyre spec this far into the season.

The bigger story brewing is that Mercedes took part in an illegal 3 day test with Pirelli: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/107671 , I can see big trouble in store for Mercedes.

It also looks like Pirelli will walk away from F1 at the end of the season, Dunlop and Hankook are interested by all accounts.
