I used to have 1966 Midget 1098CC twin carbs, basically the Mini Cooper S engine.

Its Canadian GP weekend and I've reactivated this thread to see if StensonRam is still alive.
Ah, the Canadian GP. On balance, since I started watching regularly in '82, the best GP of the year
A great example of Olympic Legacy, the GP track runs round the service roads for the '76 Montreal rowing course
Highlight? Jenson Button's amazing win from the back in 2011
Lowlight? Riccardo Paletti's sickening death at the start of the 1982 race
My prediction for a win? Hamilton
Talking about an unfortunate death on the track, who was the British World Champion who died on the track?
Was a Scot I believe.
Don't get me started on motorsport history, I'll end up as the new R4J
Jim Clark, Hockenheim during a F2 race. There was a plaque erected in his memory next to the track, but the track at that point of the circuit was abandoned in the 90's so the plaque remains in situ basically in the middle of a forest
Obviously the Merc and Ferrari drivers have the fastest machines so those 4 are in with a shout. However, despite all his "incidents" so far this season, not all of which were his fault (just most ;) ), this track suits Max Verstappen and his Red Bull and he might just shout loudest this weekend.
So now let's see how much merc really were holding back in p1,2 and 3, the clever money is saying they'll have half a second over everyone else coupled with it being Lewis' favourite track, he normally owns this track
Couldn't get the hypersofts to turn on, they didn't want to run them as they know it's their Achilles heel, their race pace was better than anybody's so it'll be an interesting race
Normally one of the better races but agree yesterday was a bit dull, Lewis with a new engine with the updates wouldn't of qualified 4th and romped home just like finger man did, would of still been a borefest but being a Lewis and merc fan that would of been OK
