Canadian F1 Practice underway. Practice 3 at the moment. Unless Mercedes can pull something out of the bag in Qualifying they wont get pole. Currently at the end of P3 Vettel is 1st, Raik 2nd. Lewis is 3rd, Verstappen 4th and Bottas is 5th.....:smileysad:

Lewis on pole. Brilliant....Vettel 2nd, Bottas 3rd, Kimi 4th .....

Lewis has matched Senna's number of pole positions. Sennas family have just presented him with a race worn helmet belonging to Ayrton..Great gesture...

Brilliant moment. Well done Lewis. Thanks to the Senna family

Exciting for a change too, although major c'up by Force India.....

[Cleoriff]

Brilliant though must admit to a 'massive panic attack' when lights out (Please Lewis Please Lewis do NOT

c* ck up this start)

....Yes major c'up with Force India https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/perez-team-player-ocon-controversy-f1-917547/

Though hardly firm team orders??! Perez wanted his own glory I think.
