Really have to admire Force India's strategy in that race, though.
Dang, huge crash for Loic Duval in practice.
Very nearly had both Force Indias get run over on the last lap.
Loved The Young Ones. Sad to hear he's gone.
Anyway, re: the Perez–Massa incident... it's ultimately Perez's fault (or possibly his car's fault, but it sounds like he isn't claiming any mechanical issue), but it's pretty damn close to what I'd call a racing incident. Massa's move was optimistic, Perez's reactionary move was wrongheaded. (If he'd just checked up and done an over-under he might have stayed ahead anyway when Massa inevitably put a couple tires off on exit.)
Sure, it looks bad for Perez (or Massa, depending on your POV/biases), but both drivers drove a sterling race up to that point. Can't believe Perez stayed as far up as he did on super-softs on that first stint. 34 laps! And Massa's pace toward the end was fantastic. Ultimately the wreck was just the product of a couple small mistakes.

Apparently Alonso dove on Hulkenberg at the hairpin on the last lap (or next to last?) and they both ran wide, which let Button sneak by them.
btw, awesome race to attend. Canadian crowd was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, facilities were good, got to walk the whole track at the end. Would definitely come back.
I'm a fan of Perez, but that was totally his fault. Made a reactionary move when Felipe was making an ambitious move and paid the price.
Any Montreal dudes want tix for Friday practice?
I have two grandstand seats for anyone who can pick 'em up in the city tomorrow morning. First come, first served. 
I don't think I'm ever going to be on at the right time for y'all.
This track is so awesome: http://www.assettocorsa.net/fo ... hreads/gen-track-1.10277/
Hinch jumped the curb and hit Aleshin, IMO. It was a pretty ambitious move he tried.
Nice race today. Good to see Rahal get a decent run. Sad to see Hawksworth, Aleshin, and Conway have their issues.
Loved Power doing full oppo out of the penultimate corner on the last lap.

I'm with Fordman. Don't get the Ring, never have.
It's happened several times before.
Could just as easily be taken to mean that Hamilton wishes the world could see that Rosberg (and the team) didn't do anything wrong.
Yeah, thoroughly enjoyed those GP2 races. Love Buxton and Filippi commentating, too.
Any servers NOT doing Nords? Would prefer to do some real racing.
