So I don't really see that Williams has been shocking this year - the real story is more that Ferrari have improved dramatically between seasons and has been overshadowing Williams.

You're right. I don't think Williams have been shocking, however given their form in the second half of last season a lot of people (myself included) expected them to kick on and be the main challenger to Mercedes. Of course Ferrari are surprisingly the team how have done that, and Williams are not where we all thought they'd be which I suppose was second!

Time to watch qualy...

Yep, that seems to be a common thought pattern, Rachel Brookes made an almost word-for-word comment matching yours on the F1 show around Williams.

Love this Canadian Grand Prix! One of the best on the calendar.

It's a great track that makes for some good non-DRS assisted passing which is sadly a rarity these days. Also happened to be the best race EVAARRRR last year when Danny boy picked up his first win. Probably bugger all chance of that happening this time around though I'll be taping the race and watching it over breakfast tomorrow. Hopefully (despite the semi-predicted qualifying results) it'll be a decent race.

How will you be taping/recording it or do you have Foxtel?

I might have to get up early to pick it up via Internet streaming.

I protested long and hard to not get Foxtel, however being a big soccer (Arsenal) and NRL fan (Broncos), the F1 being taken off FTA was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

So yeah, I have Foxtel
