I love the straight here, with the banking its awesome, reminiscent of the old Monza. I bet the cars will be seeing the dark side of 210 or maybe even 220 this year with the reduction in downforce. However, I'm not a big fan of the infield too much, that slow chicane pisses me off.

Scott Speed is doing great. Right on Coulthard's heels, and just barely getting squeezed out by de la Rosa.

I really hope he gets a race seat in the next couple years

I doubt it, Canada's good result is from retirement of 2 Renaults and 1 Mclaren and 1 BAR......so to Win will be quite hard. However, their Friday pace (assuming they are trying race setups) doesn't look too bad, so let's hope for a podium finish again with Alonso crashing <finger's crossed>
