Pirelli making no predictions for Canada

Pirelli's motorsport boss Paul Hembery says it is impossible to predict how tyres will behave during the Canadian Grand Prix next week. With the Montreal circuit being a mixture of street circuit and permanent road course, Hembery believes there is no way to make a prediction about the performance of the rubber, although he reckons the degradation will not be as aggressive as many people expect. The tyre manufacturer will take to Canada the same compounds it used at Monaco, the soft and the super soft

Report: Honda Canada owner database hacked, 283,000 customers at risk

Filed under: , ,

Honda grille and badge

Reuters is reporting that personal information from more than 283,000 Honda Canada customers has been stolen by cyber criminals. The data includes names, addresses, vehicle identification numbers and, most importantly, some financing account information.

Still, Honda maintains that the profiles don't contain the goods necessary for identity theft. Crooks typically need bank account numbers, email addresses and birth dates to pull off a successful cyber heist. Honda Canada had collected the consumer information back in 2009 when it urged its customers to register for on MyAcura and MyHonda sites.

The automaker first became aware that something was awry when traffic to both sites shot through the roof. Shortly thereafter, an inordinate number of unauthorized attempts to access member accounts hit the radar as well. On May 13th, a letter was sent out to owners who potentially had their personal data compromised.

This isn't the first time that Honda has been the victim of an online attack. Just last year, 2.2 million vehicle owners had their personal information stolen from the Japanese automaker's databases.

Barrichello admitted he was sorry he gained a place after the retirement of team-mate Pastor Maldonado but was pleased to finally get some points
