Not a bad race if I may say so. Was a little bland in places, but thank you Liuzzi for holding most of the field up so that overtaking was possible!
Fisichella was doing alright overtaking, but would have had a better race had he kept it on the road, twit!
Hamilton did a good job, I thought, in keeping Alonso behind him both times Alonso had a run on him. The second time the crowd roared cause they thought Alonso had him into Turn 1, but they braked much the same place. Second win, 10 point gap, not bad 7 races into the season. Alonso had a much bigger lead than this last year and STILL managed to lose the lead by Japan.
Kovy did a good job, was relatively consistent. Renault's are still about 0.5 - 1 second a lap slower though, which is an age in F1. Honda are worse off, Jenson hoping that a new front wing brings a half-second on a car over 2 seconds a lap slower isn't much better, but something nonetheless.
Did anybody else notice the extraordinary amount of Traction Control that both the Ferrari's were using? Especially in the slower corners, but they seemed not to lean on the car, so much as press it and let the TC trash the engine!
For the record, I thought the ITV broadcast dedicated about as much time to the Kubica crash and the Canadian GP as it did to HamiltonTV.
I'm still amazed that the monocoque was still intact! What worried me was Kubica's feet sticking out, if he'd had another front impact with the wall, which was likely considering the speed and direction he was travelling (ironically, the tyre that came off was probably what stopped that), then he'd have 2 broken feet and smashed ankles.
What do people think about the future of the Canadian and US GPs then? Indy's provided some good races in it's 8 years so far, and Montreal's always a good race, but Rosberg had some very critical comments about the concrete walls in Montreal (I agree with him, especially in that spot, but also in Turn 5 and 6, on the left-hand side) and Heidfeld was disparaging abou the track breaking up (last time that happened at a racetrack I believe was Spa 85, correct me if I'm wrong). They should survive, the races, especially the US one, now that Hamilton's making it popular in the US again, but Canada's on a rocky slope IMO.
Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10; indeed, it's a common requirement in fairy tales. If the human didn't have to overcome huge odds, what would be the
