Austin, Texas, actually. But I do some off & on instructing at BW's facilities.

BW = blackwater?

MTosi

I think their main locations are NC an IL not TX

Dale Gribble

^ yep.

anyhow...back on topic.

MTosi

Thats not to say they don't do stuff in texas, I think if you pay them they will go anywhere, lol

Veloce Raptor

Correct. But there are these newfangled inventions called "airplanes" that allow teleportation between Texas and other states.

I disagree with the concept of blaming the team. Hamilton is on record before the race saying that he has to be careful with any SC period and the red lights as that caught out Fisi and Massa last year. So he is fully aware of the situation days ahead of time.

There are two things to consider here with this track in Montreal:

1. It has the most or 2nd most incidents of bring out the SC than anyother track on the calender.

2. There is the red light situation for a longer period of time because the pit lane is very short.

If you look at the video you just posted (thanks for that BTW), there are still cars coming down start/finish as RK is approaching the pit line. You can't see the final car in line on track, but RK takes off around the time it should have cleared pit out.

Slightly OT, but I would love to have seen a drag race between Kimi and Kubica from the pit lane

What are these "airplanes" you speak of, I only understand things with 4 wheels, and prefer flying under the radar and on the ground . You want to get me a deal on one of their LR shooting classes at their NC facility I spend too much money on my rifles and not enough on ammo or how to shoot them .

I wasn't aware of this, makes my statement worthless!

I wanted to see that drag race too!

A.Wayne

Yes he swerved, if he was more experienced he would have taken both out, like Schumacher ....

Flying Finn

+1

Plus the team mentioned about the red light to him. Wayne even found a link for me about that.
(still waiting for that other Ferrari link though...)

A.Wayne

what Ferrari link ?

Veloce Raptor

It is up to the driver to see all flags & other signals, not the team.

Flying Finn

I agree with Wayne. But at least we can safely say the kid is getting better: had it been last season, he would've avoided them both and only taken out himself, now he took Kimi with him. With this rate next season he'll take himself and two others, who knows if he really makes big improvements he might only take out the competition and keep himself going?!

Flying Finn

Where they say they are unhappy about Kimi.
