    Talking 2011 Canadian GP

    Vettel is now a true champion - first man (and probably not the last) into the wall of champions this weekend. After Turkey I don't think it'll derail him in the slightest though.

    Hamilton will probably be up there pacewise, he has always done well at Montreal, 2008 lunacy aside.

    Very much look forward to this race, it has never disappointed since I started watching.

    not only did Vettel stuff the red bull into the wall of champions, but watch the video in the link for the first marshall over the wall to try to get to the car in the video on the BBC website (sorry non UK members, you may be able to find the vid elsewhere). This has to be the funniest thing i've seen in F1 for a while (not Vettel, but the marshall)

    BBC Sport - Sebastian Vettel crashes out in Canada as Nico Rosberg goes quickest
    "I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

    I didn't see the funny guy , but something else drew my attention to some video on youtube .

    He seemed to stop very quickly as he stared to slide along the wall .
    It looked like , perhaps he perforated the skin of the barrier , and it "hooked" him to a halt really fast .

    Had he been going faster , it might have been uglier .
    Does anybody know the make-up of that particular barrier right there , other than it's apparent magnetism ?
    It looks to be a tarp sort of thing on the surface .

    I did spot Vettel inspecting the front right after he got out of the car, that may be what he was looking at.

    Still suffering the after-effects of the concussion he received in Monaco apparently.

    I can't believe he walked from that hit - it was brutal - says a lot about the cars now.
