As always the Indy race is the best race of the weekend. I’m a fan. Nothing more exciting than 200 laps of racing on a 2.5 mile super oval at 220 mph!!!! There were crashes and a car on fire in pit lane but no serious injuries. And the captain Roger Penske won it from pit lane with the best strategy for his driver Will Power. What a day!!! [Reply]
Did anyone see this happen...what was said on the broadcast?
Supermodel's quick flag ends Canadian Grand Prix one lap early
Sebastian Vettel had an idea something was wrong, but he didn't want to jeopardize anything, especially the safety of people at the track.
The four-time Formula One champion and current points leader saw the checkered flag come out on the 69th lap of Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix, even though the race was scheduled for 70.
“I was a bit confused. I told (my team) I don’t think the race is over yet,” Vettel said. “Some of the marshals were already celebrating. ... I was just worried that people don’t jump on the track and start celebrating. We’re still going at full pace.”
The culprit was supermodel Winnie Harlow, who was handed the checkered flag and waved it early, signaling the end of the race. The cars, meanwhile, continued around the track for another lap, despite it not officially counting.
Harlow said she was just following instructions.
"IT WASN'T ME," she tweeted, accompanied by several emojis. "but I'm so grateful no one was hurt!"
he gaffe didn't have any impact on the race's outcome.
Vettel led from start to finish at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in picking up his third win of the season.
Will Power crashed out at TEXAS Saturday night. It was his fault he didn't see the guy on the outside but didn't say it was his fault. But he did say it wasn't the other guys fault. Maybe his spotter didn't let him know? [Reply]
