You know when in Terminator 2 when the T-1000 gets frozen in liquid nitrogen and Arnie shoots him into a million pieces?

Yeah, well that was me when Button took the lead!

I was worried that all the safety car nonsense was going to wreck a good Canadian GP.

But true to form the GP produced the magic in a way that if you didn't see it, you'd think was Hollywood cheese!

If only Schumy had made the podium - he really deserved it!

Nah Shumie already got what he deserves.

At least he didn't rolling road block the good guys for once

For the first time in my life I found myself cheering on Schumacher, hell must have frozen over or maybe pigs have learnt to fly

Also gutted that Massa got past Kobayashi Kobayashi had done well to stay out on the tyres he started the race with and whilst everyone around him was chopping and changing them he stayed out and managed to stay in 2nd and keep Massa behind him for a long time.

Awesome marshalling there. Took them an age to clear up those bits of Heidfield's car.

What a race best I've seen in a long time as for the marshal looks like he spent the two hour down time in the pub

Vettel is a lot more nice than old stone face Shumie.

And what a racer Jenson is
Vettel is a nice bloke and a very funny guy. When he does our debrief (occasionally) he has us in stitches.

Full respect to button, he deserved that. Makes a change.
Glad the spoilt brat didn't compete due to his stupid mistakes.

Tremendous race!

Whilst I am sooooo pleased JB came through to win with one of the best drives I have ever seen (reminded me of Mansell hunting down Piquet at Silverstone, bit with a lot more overtaking), the race as a whole was uncharacteristic JB - so messy during the early stages.

Boring old nonsense this F1 malarkey!

JB won't be penalized !!!
i love him too - pretty amazing that quiet silently he's now second in drivers championship.

during 2 hours that race was stopped i almost fell asleep - but it was worth watching until the dead last moment!!!
