This Sunday is Canadian F-1 GP which will be held in Montreal.

There will be live telecast, I think ...

The live telecast of the Canadian F-1 GP starts at 1400 hours of Sunday!

Today's (SAT) qualifying starts at noon which will decide the starting grid position of tomorrow.

Just finished watching the Qualifying of Canadian F-1 GP, the grid position for tomorrow's race will be Hamilton, Vettel, Bottas, and Raikenan.

In achieving another pole in Montreal, Hamilton equaled Ayrton Senna's record of 65 Poles.  However, we must remember in Ayrton Senna's days, there were not that many races and therefore less chance to create a record!

Don't forget to watch today's Canadian F-! GP.

The first few laps should be exciting particularly the first corner because the time difference of the top two in qualifying is only 4/2000 of a second!

Please bear in mind that Vettel is not a gentlemanly driver, he is known to drive dirty to get ahead, just like Schumacher.

Lewis Hamilton lead from start to finish to win the 2017 Canadian F-1 GP!

The next stop of this year's F-1 GP is in Azerbaijan.

Here is a virtual circuit tour:

It is not as narrow as Monaco but equally dangerous because one mistake, and your name is on the wall/barrier!

There is no live telecast of Azerbaijan's F-1 GP.  There is a taped telecast at 1800 SUN, check you local listing.

2017 Azabeijan GP's Qualifying Highlights:

There is one street corner which is so narrow that almost all cars lightly touched it before making the corner - a little heavier touch will be a race accident!

The following is what I read from F-1 Official Website's info:

Lap 1 - First Corner.  Bottas and Raikkonen touch, Bottas had puncture, pitted an came out last.

Lap 22.  Vettel hit Hamilton, whose car is probably damaged.  As I said all along Vettel, just like Michael Schumacher, is a rather dirty driver.  If he would hit his own team-mate to get ahead, don't expect him to do otherwise with his #1 rival!

I presume the incident between Hamilton and Vettel happened at the narrowest part of the circuit, the race has been red flagged, i.e. stopped until debris have been cleared.
