Raikkonen is the correct spelling.

There should be live telecast this Sunday morning at 0800.

There will be live telecast of 2017's Spanish GP at 0755 on TSN-1, please check your local TV listings.

Please note the 0755 time because there is a short pre-race commentary, such as Official Qualification result and grid positions, cars to look out for, then start of the warm-up lap, final line up, and the green lights comes on at 0800 which is start of the race.

If you follow F-1, do not switch on TV after 0800 because the race would have started and you will miss the first corner and first lap juggle for position.

The Official Qualifying has ended.
1.  L. Hamilton
2.  S. Vettel
3.  Bottas
4.  Raikkimen
5.  Ricciardo
6.  M Vestappen
(Check spelling on all names please!)

So the 3 top teams occupy the top 3 rows with Hamilton and Vettel separated by only 0.005" in qualifying times.  The first corner will be interesting!

The 2017 F-1 GP has just ended.  Hamilton won, Vettel come in 2nd.

Vettel almost stole Hamilton's win by performing a "dirty" maneuver out of the pits!

Next weekend is probably is the pinnacle of motor racing because:

1.  Monaco GP.  This is the race that all Formula 1 drivers want to win because it is held on the famous street course in Monaco.  Over the years, multiple Monaco winners will be considered the best driver of that era because a)  Driver with the fastest and most powerful car may not win; b) The street course is narrow and challenging, one tiny mistake and you will hit the wall; c) It requires 450+ gear shifts per lap, used to be very demanding with manual gear shifts, paddle shifter changed all that.

2.  Indianapolis 500.  I never find oval racing requires that much skill except a big heart.  Anyway, it is the biggest open-wheeler race in USA and has the largest winning purse and spectators.  In the past, some F-1 went over and won outright just to prove F-1 requires much higher skills (e.g. Graham Hill, Jimmy Clark, Nigel Mansell).  This year, another F-1 driver and a 2 time World Champio - Alonso will try his hand at Indy by skipping Monaco GP.  During practice which can last one whole week, Alonso is already the 5th fastest without even driving there before.  Keep in mind, practice is NOT qualifying.

500 means 500 miles = 250 times around the oval track, and it will last 3+ hours!

During yesterday's qualifying, Fernando Alonso came in 5th or 6th (I did not watch the whole session.)

Indy 500 qualifying is unique because the top 10 or may be top 15 of yesterday's result, will have another time trial to decide the final grid position.  Those who did not make this short list for 2nd qualifying will start from behind this elite group.

OH yes Pablo Montoya, a former F-1 driver won the the Indy 500 twice, but he did not win on the first try.  the other F-1 driver mentioned in #28, did

The final qualifying has just finished. The first row is made up of CARPENTER, Scott DIXON,and ROSSI.
Fernando ALONSO was 5th fastest and will be in 2nd row.

The coming 6 days will be more practice to fine tune the cars, then race day on on next SUN.

Of course, next SUN morning, there is F-1 GP of Monaco which I will watch.

No MMs for me next SUN, I am busy!
