Well, you sure as hell can't say that Montreal has been boring to this point!
Prayers are with Kubica who, they are indicating on Speed, seems to be relatively OK given the horrendous nature of his crash!
David, it appears that McLaren couldn't have been more wrong; at least thus far.

Hamilton is the Tiger Woods of motor racing! I don't think there is any doubt about that now.
I'll bet Sato felt just as good though when he passed Alonso to put the Super Aguri Honda into 6th place! The team had said that getting into the top 10 would be like a win to them. I was saying, "Go Sato go," right along with all of the Speed Channel announcers as he passed Fernando.
Only one word for the race in Montreal today, "Bizarre!"

I love that track! Montreal and Watkins Glen are my favorite tracks to race on. I raced at Montreal in 1978 driving my Lotus Europa in a support race before the GP. Great to be "rubbing elbows" with all the GP drivers at that time. I got Mario to sign my helmit. He was world champ at that point. My car was well suited for that track, but the GP drivers were saying, that they didn't like sprinting from corner to corner. It was the best time I've ever had at a race even if I DNF. Last lap in second place in my class...... the engine quit! Oh! the agony of defeat!

Yes but Hamilton always wins and it's getting very boring. I think he should retire and move over for someone younger....

Vettel is tomorrows man. His whole demeanour is just amazing and I think he is a cut above all the rest put together. His dad pitched alongside us in Monza last year - just soooo normal - buys his own tickets .......and asked to save his space for this year and promised to bring some becks and real bratties from his butcher. | |

Ferrari got the pole, but "The Kid" still got outside of 1st row! And how about Alonso blowing up! and DC's issues with the new tranny.

So then Dave, what's the inside skinny on Nigel Stepney?

Keith,
I cannot think that he would be party to anything underhand. Looks as though something has happened, seemingly in Monaco, and either management in Modena has flown off the handle without just cause or there is a bigger leak than they have let on. But Stepney - I don't think so. | |

Well, "The Kid" finally has had a race in which he did not lead a lap. I guess he's washed up now (he says with tongue firmly planted in cheek ;-) since he only placed third. The bit with Kubica was really fun to watch though.
Kimi did himself proud in establishing himself as the leader of the Ferrari team.

I thought Alonzo's eventual pass on Heidfeldt was pretty good. He basically laid his balls out on the table.
