Re: Reject of the Race - Canada 2015

My vote is going to Grosjean , for obvious reasons. And less obvious reasons, like his need to continue to(metaphorically speaking) shite all over Max Verstappen's lawn throughout the week and race weekend.

Also, I see a lot of people saying Alonso is regretting his move to McLaren-Honda. I disagree. Alonso leaves Ferrari, in my point of view, because he was bored of fighting only fo...

To be honest, I prefer dry races these days.

Not my cup of tea. I know right! There really...
