Red Flag...i.e. more commercial from Fox....
Fox might not even cover the entire race if they exceeded the broadcast time slot...

No way, his rear suspension was definitely damaged.

If I was stopped for a flat I'd be furious

I wonder how much will power its taking that driver of that SLS pace car to keep himself from kicking the tail out on one of those rain-soaked curves, lol.

Mix of good and bad luck for Hamilton here in Canada...
His first win in 2007, retirement in 2008 while rear-ended Kimi Raikkonen, and won in 2010, and retire again here in 2011 with another "not so smart" move....

actually LH could've retire on lap 3 when he collided with MW.....

It's going to be a long time before they start again. I bet Fox won't cover the whole race now. If it even starts again.
