The F1 circus moved to Canada and the fantastic Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The race was by no means a classic but had its fair share of fun.
First off though, everyone at RacerViews was shocked to hear of the freak accident that took away a true fan of the sport. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the marshal that passed. We would also like to extend our sympathies to the sport’s marshals, without whom the sport could not survive. Our thoughts are particularly with the team that was working with the fallen marshal on Sunday
Reached airport to learn terrible news about the marshal killed in freak accident at the track. Couldn’t go racing without unsung heroes #f1

We agree, Montreal is like Melbourne and a necessary part of the calendar
Attn Bernie: I love Montreal. It is the perfect city to host an #F1 race. May it live on here evermore.

Williams would kill for a year like 1989…although who would have thought that in 1897?

In the wet, they looked good. Unfortunately in the dry it didn’t work so well
Good to see a new guy in the top 3, well done to @valtteribottas #F1 #Montreal twitter.com/XPBImages/stat…

He had a massive fight with Alonso for the podium – the most entertaining part of the race
Alonso: Very close in pace with Lewis. Nice to have this battle. Intelligent drivers, you feel safe. This is real racing. #F1

We are jealous of this guy
You know you got great seat when you can see Alonso overtaking Hamilton for 2nd place at the Montreal F1 GP. twitter.com/JoeySaputo/sta…

Though Vettel and Red Bull were in a class of 1 this weekend
Vettel in a completely different race compared to everyone else. He’ll be asking about dinner reservations on the team radio soon. #F1

Tyres are still on the cards. Though this race was like a race of a couple years ago. Tyres held up almost too well
Seb seems to be doing fine in spite of his lack of 2014 tyre testing. #F1
— Fake Charlie Whiting (@charlie_whiting) June 9, 2013
If anything good can come from the tyre testing debacle, this is it. In season testing in a controlled fashion is a must
#f1 In case you missed it earlier, here’s the story on the return of F1 testing next season jamesallenonf1.com/2013/06/four-i…

Though the stewards did hand out penalties like they were candy this weekend

Hey Bernie, get the deal with @fanvisionf1 sorted. The punters who pay the bills deserve better from FOM. #F1
