Tags on pole!

[bobdrummond]

Tagliani's impressive start to the season continues with pole at Rio. Could the Players team have found themselves a superstar of the future?

And he isn't even from Formula One!

Very impressive, I will be going for him all the way!

I always like to see first time winners over old foges stealing all of the trophies....go tags!!

What do we get from this?
1.Andretti and Herta?
2. Pac West?
3. Gil? He didn't qualify on pole, so does that mean he is going to win??

[Madfan]

Are Canadians just good drivers or is it just the water,think about it, JV, Tracy, Greg Moore (RIP.)etc.

[AndrettiRULES]

It's a shame what happened in today's race. I was really looking forward to Tagliani winning his first race in just his 3rd outing....just as Montoya did!

Tags was brilliant except for the one mistake. I feel sorry for Carpantier, he certainly has his work cut out for him.
And are Canadians just good drivers?
YES! Thank You for noticing.

[Jay]

I see big things for that new Player's driver in the not too near future.

Reminds me a bit of Villeneuve.

Nice win by Adrian though!

(And anyone who thinks that Canadians are all good drivers should visit Montreal. They have rules of the road, but the drivers don't know it! )
