So what hapens if a user has a name then an F1 driver with the same name comes along. Does the user have to change their name? :lol:

Aha, now I see, he's reserving a spot for the "real" Robert Kubica! :wink: Don't have to high hopes! :D Enough, let's stick to the subject...
The speed of Ayrton Senna.
The mind of Alain Prost.
The dedication of Michael Schumacher.
The determination of Alex Zanardi.

It's highly bothering in the sense that there can be some instances where it seems like you're impersonating the driver. Point in question:

Looks like I found a place to stay. A room for rent, one metro station away from the track. God price, and a lockable room in someone else's home has more appeal than staying in yet another hotel.

The day is drawing near.... who wants to meet for beers? :)

Giblet, I'll be in Montreal and would meet for beers, but I am an infrequent poster and as such do not "rate."

We already established there aren't many of us going, Prof, so I'm assuming the feeler invitation wasn't just for the cool kids. :lol:

If I'm right then I'm also interested.

Ehh? Well, somebody joked around with me and I joked back(once). But writing things like that.. You like provoking people? That's what "Fake F1 people" on twitter do, beacuse they don't have anything else to do. :shock:

Robert_Kubica wrote:RK said that Canada will be a good circuit for the R30. Somebody earlier wrote that it's not so much about downforce but mechanical grip, many slow corner and one straight(the other one is to short to use F-Duct(?))... kind of like Monaco... 8) =D>
The R30 will be very strong in Montreal; it has all the qualities that track requires and excels in those areas.
It has a competitive top speed, a very driveable engine, motricity, agility, suspensions and and an aero that absorb bumps and curbs very well...
Its only weakness (lack of downoforce) is negligible in Montreal.
So I think it will be even more competitive than in Monaco...
But the concurrence will be very taught, th others also have competitive cars in this kind of circuits... I think Ferrari and Red Bull will be the most dangerous ones.

I think they will be in a league of their own in Canada. I also expect Renault to do especially well there, given their high numbers thru the speed traps.
Question: do both of you assume that Red Bull will NOT have an effective f duct for Canada? IF they do, that should help cut McL's top end advantage.
Im not sure - I never implied they wouldn't have one.

The question was directed at the MP4-25.

Im not going to under estimate the RedBulls but I'm hoping they don't have an effective one! or have one but is not effective!

giblet , delighted to hear you are sorted

did I imagine it or are you an F1 virgin ?

montreal may not be monaco or spa or silverstone but it certainly looks to be one of the more interesting circuits with an individual character

bonne weekend

On a more serious note :P I don't see why not. I think the track benefits cars with good traction (I could be wrong) and I do believe that that lwb w01 improves the traction as it moves some weight rearwards.

Please no rain, no safety cars and no crashes! We need a dry uninterrupted race and hopefully we can compare the two Red Bull drivers for speed with undamaged cars.
