Yeah, we started earlier this year as it is important to have a presence there. It is at http://www.facebook.com/pages/NewsOnF1com/302223072140, all the news stories and results are posted there. You can tag it and tell your F1 friends about it too 
mlittle isn't running it but as always, we are very grateful for all his input on the North American section of the forums. |

As you know a few of us are on Facebook.
More than happy to tag it. Has been quiet around here lately.
I think Julian is too busy with Facebook now.
Not sure what happened with Snowy or JayVee... GhoGho etc.
I have got my husband to start posting.

| Very eventful race with the wet track, incredible finish between Sebastian Vettel and Jenson Button. I feel sad for those that did not finish. |

| It is also worth noting that the race results may change with so many drivers being under investigation. |

All I can is...................WOW!!!
What a way to wrap up a great weekend of racing; I mean, there was LeMans, MotoGP & World Superbike, IndyCars, NASCAR..........it was quite a weekend for racing. As for the F1 race.............its' races like today's in Montreal that remind you why you're a racing fan!

What a race!!!!!
Wow that was something.
Fantastic drive by Button and great to see someone take on Vettel. Another great race by Mark Webber, who did a great job to get on the podium despite the many dramas.
So many great drives that it will be hard to pick a DotD.
I just hope that Jenson does not get a penalty after the race.. that would be way to cruel.

Driver of the day for me went to Jenson Button. Very very close call between Jenson and Mark but considering how many times Jenson ended up in the pits and clashing with both Hamilton and Alonso to come back from all that and turn around and take Vettel on the last lap was brilliant.

According to the Toronto Sun Jenson Button has been cleared of any wrong doing.

| Backed Button. Outstanding drive, but Schumacher also deserves an honourable mention. Shame he couldn't get the podium, but 4th Rosberg's 11th is still very impressive. |
