My System: Sky+ Pace v3, and before that analouge 80cm dish with Prima by Pace box pointed at 19.2e (not very imaginative then!) | Race Result from Canadian GP | | Official Race Result | Full Race Report The Race of Heroes and Zeros, Madness in Montreal, Catastrophe in Canada – seldom has one race had so many sub-plots (I’ll try my best!)! On a day that showcased the rollercoaster ride that is F1, the sport’s new shining star – Lewis Hamilton – took his maiden victory and is now declared as a serious, and by many accounts leading, contender for the World Championship. The Brit, 1st on the grid, led all the way, navigating the first corner with the grace of a driver many years above his experience, in marked contrast to the nightmare beginning which team mate Fernando Alonso experienced. The Spaniard launched into another ill-conceived overtaking attempt from the green light, going off the track and rejoining in 3rd behind Heidfeld. Hamilton sped away into the distance on his road to victory, as the reigning champion struggled to make headway in overtaking Heidfeld. Pushing too hard, Alonso went off the track twice more, on the second occasion relinquishing 3rd place to Felipe Massa in lap 18. 10 laps later, following a safety car for the retired Sutil, Robert Kubica was involved in the most horrific of accidents, barrel-rolling and ending on his side at the hairpin. The Pole has since left medical supervision in good health. Alonso, seeing an advantage, visited the pits during the safety car, but this contravenes new rules, and he served a 10sec stop-n-go, leaving his hopes in tatters. His race never really recovered, and being overtaken by Sato for 6th compounded this fact. Alonso would finish 7th, ahead of Ralf Schumacher in 8th. The amazing events masked Ferrari’s disastrous Canadian GP. Raikkonen was never really in it, and was strangely also passed at one point by Sato, the Finn ending 6th, whilst Massa was disqualified for leaving the pits under red lights. Perhaps of equal amazement is the 3rd place finish of Alexander Wurz, who in his Williams managed to avoid all the events around him and taking advantage of his one stop strategy. Kovalainen also did exceptionally well, ending 4th despite being last on the grid. Drivers’ Championship – Hamilton now has an 8 point lead over Alonso, 48 points to 40, and Raikonnen’s fight already looks on the ropes, only 27pts, Massa is 3rd with 33. Constructers’ Championship – McLaren take a commanding lead with 88 points to Ferrari’s 60. SupaLiga 2007 – UPDATED SHORT TABLE (Full table available in attachment) F1 Aberdeen build further still on their lead over the Stunts, but both must be aware of kreacher and his Creatures, top scoring for the 2nd race in a row and closing the gap on 2nd in the league to 18 points. The top 6 lock on to their places, but elsewhere it’s all move. TSU rise 1 to 7th with 113pts in Canada, and my Super25’s jump 2 to 8th with 109pts. Draconigen and ScotBorders also go up 2 places, as do the champions Speedy Devils, who are now to 16th. Kleefarr continues his yo-yo season, falling 3 places to 10th. NEXT RACE > UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX @ INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDYWAY > JUNE 17 Coming soon… Copa SupaLiga… |
