Poll Out of Ten - 2014 Canadian Grand Prix
- Thread starter mjo
- Start date
A fine race, more "old school" with reliability and collisions playing their part, good to see a new winner (even if we did have to suffer a happy Horner afterwards), and JB does 2 cars in one corner to finish an excellent 4th - pity we never got to see that though, but understandable considering what was happening at the sharp end. I give it a thoroughly enjoyable 8.

Finally, we have the ingredients for an interesting race in 2014 - new regulations change must be made immediately!
All cars painted silver must have KERS disconnected automatically 1/3 way through race and a random number of them must a brake disc removed at the earliest pit-stop opportunity.
There you go, Bernie, all sorted - just the little matter of zee slightly crazy amigos from South America for you to deal with!

14.... I would agree if Lewis had won, but unfortunately he dropped out.

Some decent TV direction would've given it a 9. And some passing out front at the end rather than a tense train.
I agree, that worst the worst editing I have seen for years. How many times did we cut away to a meaningless pit or crowd shot when someone was going off line or starting a passing move.

Are you for real? Only 6 cars retired due to unreliability - only one of which was a frontrunner (Hamilton). Rosberg's unreliability absolutely made the race. If the Mercedeses hadn't had problems, do you think it would have been as good a race?

I went for a 9. You must leave space, always you must leave space......
Drive faster then!
He can't go any faster because of the Peugeot six inches ahead of his front bumper.

Yes, I am for real, and I'm entitled to my own opinion thank you, just as you're entitled to yours. I know there will always be mechanical failures, but personally I prefer there to be fewer, not more (unless it's Vettel...
). And yes, I do think it would have been just as good of a race if neither Hamilton and Rosberg had had issues, as it would have been interesting to see Hamilton take on Rosberg and see how that played out. I like a race to be between the best drivers to see who has the skill to get the flag first, not to see whose car lasts the longest...

I suspect you're very much in the minority there. After all, between Malaysia and Monaco we saw five straight Hamilton-Rosberg reliability-unaffected races and only Bahrain came anywhere close to the kind of excitement we saw at Montreal. You would have hated F1 in the 60s, 70s and 80s!
