2014 FIA Formula 1 World Championship

What a fantastic race that turned out to be. Rosberg and Hamilton running away, 24 second lead to 3rd...cue the power loss for both cars. Thankfully..err I mean unfortunately, Lewis Hamilton couldn't continue..Shame. but well done to Ricciardo for his 1st win

Enjoyed the massive crash at thr end between Massa and Perez, just such a shame that neither of them could collect Vettel too.

Well done to Button for 4th. Shame we didn't see the overtaking he did in the closing laps.

Really enjoyed that race

I have to say I'm gutted for Massa. He could've had a good finish.

Just wow , real shame massa went out like that but overall a great race.

Fantastic race, was on the edge of my seat for the entire race. Great to know that Massa and Perez are ok though. Huge crashes.

I was hoping they did collect Vettel aswell

Well that was an absolute belter. Made up that Ricciardo won it, again beating Seb (always a plus). Kudos to Rosberg for nursing that car home, though Perez did him a favour.

First thought of the Perez / Massa incident was that Massa was to blame but Perez jinks out in braking zone. Silly move that undid a fantastic effort. In my world he'd get a ban for that, Stewards need to stamp out moves like this. That and jerking movements when someone is pulling out of slipstream that launch cars into the air.

This race shows why I think Canada is one of the best circuits around. Every year it produces some epic races with rather unpredictable results.

100% agree Mikey

Massa, reminding everyone why Ferrari dropped him

First F1 race i've watched all year since it was at a reasonable time. Glad i did. Ive liked Hamilton since the moment he came in so i was hoping for him to win it as always. But awesome race, if only more were like that and not a mercedes run away. Also, YAY CANADA.

It looked to me, like Perez pulled slightly to the left under braking. I think it's unfair to place all the blame on Massa.

I'm actually glad he didn't collect Vettel purely because if he had it could've been a very serious crash. Getting t-boned at over 100 mph...

What race were you watching?

Bit of a harsh comment. Wasn't entirely Massa's fault in my opinion.

I really do hope that Williams keep improving. They're a team that really deserve to be up there at the front.

At one point, I genuinely thought that Massa was going to take the win. It is good to see Williams up there again though.

That's one aspect to my statement

If Perez' car was at 100%, or even 90%, at the time, I would fully agree... but one thing with brake issues is that the car sometimes makes its own move under braking. Nice thing about telemetry is it can show wheel/pedal input... meaning the FIA should be able to tell in short order within a shadow of a doubt if that jink was indeed human or mechanically induced.

I wish it was on FM5, it's one track that I would've had in the TORA GP. It's a great circuit that provides the most entertaining F1 GP's of the year..every year.

Wow, the conspiracy theorists are running wild today. Accusing the FIA of being biased against Lewis and suggesting that Mercedes sabotaged Lewis' car. Here are a few quotes from another forum which I frequent...

SPOILER:

So much butthurt. The Hamilton Fanboys are easily the most annoying in Formula 1.

I've always wished it were on Forza, long before FM5, as it would make a great addition to ANY race series. TCC? Awesome. TASCAR? Awesome. GT? Awesome...

Sabotage? Not so much methinks...

It was brake failure. I had heard early on, according to Mercedes team radio chatter w/Nico, that Hamilton was using more rearward brake bias than Rosberg. And it seems that Hamilton spent much time in DRS, which meant more brake use would be needed at the end of the DRS zone... For Lewis to have rear brake failure, given those circumstances, on a circuit that is notoriously hard on the brakes: fully understandable.

Superb driving from Vettel to avoid contact!

Yeah whoever thinks it was sabotage is a moron. As Mikey said, running in DRS range and with more rearward bias it was frankly inevitable. Rosberg could control his issue much easier being infront. Arguably had Hamilton done him into Turn 1 he might've been the one finishing 2nd and Rosberg DNF'ing. Who knows.

Good day for F1 all in all. Will be interesting to hear FIA outcome of the last lap crash
