Canadian GP - *sobs*

Yes

Adrian Newey - staying at Red Bull, but not in F1, a chance for everyone else to catch up
Classic race start - lots of excitement
Bottas' pit stop - 2.6 quick seconds, at last Williams pull it off
Massa passes Alonso - schadenfreude
Overtaking - so much of it, best race of the season, I think (please comment if you disagree)
Canadian crowd
Australian national anthem - long time since we've heard it

No

Suzie's yellow boots - a bit Fireman Sam
Button - so gaunt
Adrian Newey - staying at Red Bull, no chance for another team to receive the magic
Massa's pit stop - 7 long seconds
Hoagy?
Williams throw away another race...
Poor Perez - what a shame
Massa/Perez - a Grosjean style incident, if it had been him what would the other drivers be saying?
Button's interview - finding the negative in the positive

  1. Team Hippy F1 press release

    I'm interested that your Pitstop Highness has described it as Williams throwing away another race when the stewards saw fit to penalise Perez. Admittedly, when I watched the incident, and the subsequent replays, it seemed to me that Massa was to blame, but then I had only that one camera angle to guide me.
    A bunch of data went to the stewards and they made their decision. I thought it was a tragedy. I'm not especially fond of Perez - but pleased he wasn't hurt. Quite like Massa so pleased he's OK. Not especially a fan of Williams (beggin' yer forgiveness highness), but I would like to see them getting back into the mix. Maybe dinner with Adam Parr softened me a little,,,,
    Beyond that - yep, Suzie's fireman wellies were not a good look, Jordan is still a nutter, DC is still just, dull, all-in-all, since Brundle and Jake Humphreys left, the BBC coverage has really struggled in my mind. No bite, no humour. Perhaps the fact that I only see a whole race (rather than difficult-to-follow highlights shows) so rarely now that the whole thing seems to be losing a lot of it's sparkle.
    Oh dear, Hippy F1 doesn't sound happy at all.....
