I was at this race, so this post is just to complete the records for the season. This is being written on the following Saturday, with the publication date altered to reflect the actual session date. # Ten place penalty for causing a collision with Nico Hulkenberg. ## Excluded from qualifying for failing weight check.

The weather looks good today in Montreal – certainly better than yesterday. Sebastian Vettel starts today’s 70-lap encounter from pole position. Lewis Hamilton will race him on the short run to Turn 1. Valtteri Bottas is handily placed in a superb third position on the grid, alongside Monaco GP winner Nico Rosberg. The grid: * Ten place […]

The starting grid for today’s race therefore looks like this (drivers with penalties in italics): Nico Rosberg, Mercedes […]
