This weekend is jam packed; F1 action in Canada on NBCSN/NBC and Isle of Man coverage starting every night, for seven days, starting this Saturday night on Velocity. Don't forget folks, next week is the legendary Le Mans.

Nico Rosberg is coming off two victories, the last being in Monte Carlo; his third straight win on his home turf. Hams was inexplicably sabotaged by his team, making a very questionable pit stop during the aftermath of Verstappen's failed pursuit of passing Grosjean for another position. Bang crash, virtual safety car, then real safety car, then why do you need new tires with ~18 laps left on softs when the first set of supersofts lasted ~30 laps on a full tank? Ah well. Hams took the high road and didn't bash his team, which would've been bad since he just signed a monster contract. Meanwhile Vettel keeps racking up podiums and has found a way to split the two Mercs for the second time this season (Kimi doing it himself in Bahrain). This weekend the F1 folks are in Canada, so it should be a good one. Enjoy your weekends.
