I finally had the time to sort thru all of the pics from the Canadian GP and put together a CD. It contains 380 pics full sized but slightly compressed to fit. If anyone would like a copy, please PM me and include your name and snail mail address.
I would appreciate a $5 paypal to cover media and shipping costs.

Just curious. What is the cost of a ticket for the Canadian Gran Prix? Or any others for that matter.

Three days of the comfort of the suite seats, the free food and drinks, and hob knobing with BMW big-wigs was worth it.

The Renault of Alonzo looks like its in its element at Magny Cours. This might be another race where kubica will need to drive a super clean race and take advantage of other's mistakes to gain a podium finish. The Ferraris look very good with the McLarens less so, but still better than the BMWs. Hamilton's penalty will help with that equation.

I still can't see BMW being strong on apex speeds or top trap speeds. Either the engine isn't helping or they carry a lot of down force. I'm inclined to think it's the 1st issue since apex speeds are also weak (where the downforce should help)
