Holy smokes!

Checked their website for time trials date and time and noticed:

General admission = $ 169.00
Bleacher Seating = $ 299.00 - $499.00
Premium Seating = $ 500.00

I don’t think the exchange rate plays that much into it, but just damn!

I was hoping to get to the new track in Texas, I hope those tickets aren’t that expensive also. With Air Fair thats an expensive weekend

Been looking forward to the Montreal GP, one of the top five venues IMO.

Weather forecast says rain tomorrow for qualifying, cloudy Sunday - perhaps a few drops to make thing interesting (again!)?

OT - Found this site with some nice motorsport vids:

Good race. Not surprised to see Bottas disappear. For a while I thought Hamilton was going to use DRS to get his spot back from Alonso, but it didn’t happen.

I think Vettel just sewed up his 4th Championship. Can’t see anyone catching him.

earlier in the race they said Lew's DRS was in-op but i don't know if it was fixed/came back

looked to me like nando passed under a yellow near the end of the race...

I could not tell whether he did or did not pass under yellow. From the first replay angle, it looked like he did, but on the second replay, it looked like it was flashing red and yellow (what for I don’t know) and the flag guy was waving a blue flag for the lapped car, not a yellow flag.

Considering it was Alonzo, end of the race, no apparent significant danger on the track, and not a pass for position, we were pretty sure nothing was going to happen.

Also, it looked like when Hamilton was at his closest to Alonso, the threw a caution and as part of it disabled the DRS, so he couldn’t use it anyway.
