  1. Great race. Great Articles.

  2. Keith, you’ve forgotten to put a link to Ferrari in the detailed analysis of every team and driver in the Canadian Grand Prix

  3. I went through all the team reviews last night and while I could remember the vast majority of it it did bring to my attention a few bit’s I had missed.

    Another fine job!

    1. I still can’t remember how Sutil retired!

      1. Sutil had what was broadcasted as a flat tire that put him in the garage. It looked more like a broken halfshaft.

    I thought some of you may enjoy this as much as I did.

    The Roadshow faithful left fuming after a different type of road show steals their slot…

    Lovely job. :)

  5. Keith,
    include the poll to rate the race in these! Thanks!

    1. I usually do – it was left out here by mistake. Have added it in now.

  6. I just watched the race again. The last 9 laps on BBC commentary are a genuinely classic section of F1. Right down to Massa stealing 6th on the line. Fantastic.

  7. One of the many highlights of the weekend:
