Just a guess at the moment. ;) And considering Montreal has been so hard on tyres in past seasons, it sounds quite unusual that now the tyres suddenly manage to hold together for much of the race.

I too won't mind some rain, especially in the first part of the race...just to see who can catch Alonso :p :

I couldn't agree more. I bet Alonso would collect Hamilton and this place would finally go bonkers for a change.

Quartet RBR, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes seem to rise above others, so the underdogs have now little chance of creating an upset. Button looked decent in Q1 and Q2, but for some reason failed in Q3. In pre-season it was claimed that F2012 is better at heating tyres than F150. Based on Canada it seems to be the case, Alonso is a much bigger threat on Saturday.

I agree, quite soon we're back to the old days some people missed so much.

Does anyone have a link to live feed? I can't believe Speed is showing a pre-race show, WSBK, and then a post-race show. :dozey:

I sarcastically second that. I remember the captivating 2002 season so well. :rolleyes:

Fox Sports - you suck.

The race is going to start at noon CDT but your going to show the race at 1:00CDT. You can't even show it live???

:mad:

Some suggestions on cyberspace that Red Bull have managed to blow the diffuser off-throttle.

(All of which could be complete tosh, of course...)

Hang in there. The scheduled start is for 2:00 Eastern Daylight Time according to Montrealgazette.com. Local TV listings for Fox show a time of 1:30 or 2:00 and the french RDS shows 1:30.
So Fox should be live. I am disappointed that they have the rights, but will have to make do, or watch in french who have extensive coverage.
Last year 1/2 of the broadcast was from SpeedTV, the 2nd half from the BBC feed, so some strange things go on

Good luck
