Canada GP - "Grande vittoria, bravissima...and other Italianish"

Brundle: "It wasn't an all time classic, was it?"  Were you glad the chequered flag was waved early?

Grosjean's engine blowing in the pit lane as he left for Q1 was a sign that this race was to be all smoke.

There was suffering in the first lap as Hartley took Canadian Stroll out and brought out the safety car too early in the race for it spice it up.   Will Kvyat be back in a Toro Rosso seat soon?  Sainz and Perez meeting did nothing to alter the race either.  The commentators tried to bring out the old "how many stops?" chat to add suspense but Pirelli had said one stop was the way to go and no one was going to do any different no matter how many times pundits mentioned that you could make two stops.  I was also disappointed that Hammertime worked this race and Lewis overtook Raikkonen in the pits.  More pain when the driver we all want to see really racing, Alonso, retired on his three hundreded race, five years since he last won a race.  Will Kvyat be back in a McLaren seat soon?

I am also disliking the Live Points graphic.  Anyone else thought it was the order of the race a few times?

Brundle thinks it's the rest of the season is going to be all about who makes the fewest mistakes.  Sounds riveting.
