F1 Quals: Canada 2014
Mercedes is the class of the grid this year, clearly. Between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, they've had every single pole position to date. They've won every race this season as well, but that's beside the point right now. Either one of the two could easily win pole... but! Hamilton loves this circuit. The best drivers have "their" tracks: Senna owned Monaco. Schumacher owned... well, everything, but he held Spa dear in his heart. Prost was France, Jim Clark owned the British GP, and on and on. Well, Hamilton claims Montreal as his. So how far ahead of his teammate did he finish in Quals? Let's take a look at the provisional grid for the 2014 Grand Prix of Canada:
There will be blood in the Mercedes mobilehome tonight. Hamilton must be chewing 10p nails and pissing hate right now. This can't end well... I just can't see it. SOMEwhere down this season, there's going to be an explosion. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it... because it'll make for GREAT drama!
Really, is there anything else important on the grid? 4Time managed to qualify third, but he's 22nd of 22 when it comes to top speed through the trap. Guess who's first? Well, yeah, Nico Hulkenberg, but the two Mercedes are way up the list. Unless there's a failure, I will NOT bet against the Silver Arrows.
The only reason it isn't as dull as Vettel's domination is that with Mercedes, either driver has a chance. The past four years, Red Bull put everything behind Vettel, and the devil take Mark Webber.
The race is at 1pm Pond Central Time Sunday on NBC, so everybody can watch it (not owning a TV isn't an excuse)... see ya there!

I bet Massa is pleased that he qual'ed ahead of HWMNBN.
But the idea of Williams coming in 4 and 5 is truly astounding. Ahead of both McLaren's and ahead of both Ferraris. Yikes!

Oh, and my money is on at least one wreck this season where one Mercedes driver takes a stupid chance trying to pass the other Mercedes driver, and both cars drop out of the race.

Ah, a Red Bull Turkey moment. I won't say you're wrong, Steven. I want to say that both Hamilton and Rosberg are too mature for those kind of stunts, but I don't think I can. Not the way one of them has been acting of late.
