The weather forecast has a 40-60% chance of showers over the weekend so it could be a crazy one.

Steveaki13:
Careful copying stats for the Canadian Grand Prix, as some like Wiki include the sportscar events prior to 1967. 1967 was the first F1 race.

In your list Pedro Rodriguez is listed as a 2 time winner, but these were in Ferrari sportscars, thus Ferrari has 11 F1 wins and not 13.
Oddly enough Lotus never won the F1 race, again their totals are for the Lotus 19.

Thanks

My early knowledge is sketchy. Thanks for pointing it out.

Forza Ferrari and Kimi :

I've got a feeling we'll see a Hamilton pole in Canada. I just hope the issues concerning their use of tyres in the race have been sorted by now. It would be nice to have another Mercedes one, two. Its an easy track to overtake on especially the back straight which will undoubtedly be a DRS zone, so again I expect it to be the team the most clever on strategy. Hamilton made one extra stop last year I believe whereas Alonso and Vettel tried to get to the end. Perez and Grosjean managed to make a similar strategy work. Expect a feisty Perez and a motivated Hamilton I reckon.

Will be interesting to see if any drivers will hit the Wall of Champions taking them out of the race.

Considering the braking issues Hamilton has had in recent races and how much brakes matter in Montreal I have my doubts over a Hamilton pole. I think Rosberg might sneak it yet again. Time will tell

I still think he's good for pole. The race could prove difficult for him in the long run, though.

It will be interesting to see how Mercedes handle tyre wear here since Monaco is too strange to judge how much the Pirelli test helped them. Of course if it rains anything could happen.

Really looking forward to this one!
