Its called the Wall of World Champions.

Anyways, didn't watch the qualifying coz its too late but i must say Mclaren looked strong. Congrats to Ham as it'll be the first time he'll start in poll. Hopefully he doesn't screw up in his maiden poll start.

BTW, Mclaren's front wing is looking more and more like an AH Beng's modification from Brothers.

Great and eventful GP, those miss the Live telecast shall not miss the repeat.

Sorry for Ferrari, but looks like they have a lot of work to do in order to catch up, both inside and outside the race! Ferrari is good at "overtaking" at pitlane when Ross Brawn was around, and today, Kimi lost a position to Alonso in his Final pit stop!

And Kimi, kissing your teammate car is the last thing you shall do!

Just curious, did Alexanda Wruz finish 3rd with his broken rear wing?

 

[faisal]

Go Lewis!!!!

I did say he'd win a race soon. and on his 6th GP puts him up there with the best.

More to come

Man!!! I saw how Kubica slammed on Jarno then wheelied' then slammed on the right then everything was flying and flipping and left the monocoque body only?!?!?! Blardy hell when they show it up close Kubica was like a rag doll flipped inside. Damn scary leh. There was 1 driver behind and you can actually see Kubica's car going to pieces!!! Its crazy that he survived. Some more next week Indianapolis! Damn!!!

The safety Cell did its job
Doctors Dennis give his first impressions.

Interviewed Monday morning on Montreal radio station 98.5 FM, doctor Ronald Denis gave a few details regarding Robert Kubica's fearful crash on the Gilles-Villeneuve circuit.

Denis, associate head doctor of the Canadian Grand Prix, thought he had seen the Polish driver's final hour. "We thought he was dead. Poor him, it's over. (We thought) there would be no more brain left, that there would be nothing left," he said.

Despite the incredible violence of the accident, Kubica was able to describe the collision with Jarno Trulli's car, the impact against the wall and the rolls that ensued, but there exists a blank space between the end of his course and the moment where he opened his eyes to discover the presence of track personnel.


"We were impressed because he was talking to us," related doctor Denis, adding that Robert Kubica owes his life to the highly-developed technology of the safety cell which surrounds the cockpit.

"We see the results today. A few years ago, that driver would never have come out alive from an accident like that one," said Ronald Denis, underlining that quite to the contrary, his patient emerges with "no major wounds," except for a sprain and a light concussion.

The BMW-Sauber team will decide over the next few days if their driver will race in the United States Grand Prix this week, a wish Kubica has already expressed.

if you check the damage done on the car, the latest Technology and FIA safety guide did help a lot to save driver's life.

my first worry is Kubica's leg! Kubica with 1.84m, is kind of tall for driver (8cm taller than Schumi), the badly damage front nose remind me of Alex Zanardi who lost both of his leg in a CART racing accident. Glad to hear that he is okay.

Hamilton's win 'lucky' says Alonso

Fernando Alonso in Canada insisted that a poor race result had not made him downbeat.

By finishing just seventh in Montreal, the Spaniard lost his championship lead to his rookie McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton, who now tops the drivers' standings by eight points.

Alonso, however, pointed the finger at the safety car rules, 'bad luck' and badly graining Bridgestone tyres, and contrasted his situation to that of the hospitalised Robert Kubica.

"I am fine," the 25-year-old reigning world champion, who set the fastest lap of the race, told the Spanish newspaper Diario As.

"What do you want me to say? It has been a difficult race but I prefer to be in my position that Kubica's. You don't even want to race at all when you see someone crash like that."

"I am second in the world championship and I have a car that can win races with eleven (races) to go. I still feel like I am the favourite for the title," he added.

Alonso said he thought Hamilton had been 'lucky' to not similarly fall foul of the safety car rules, which he said would have dropped the young Briton to eighth.

"He had the luck with the safety car and I did not, but this is normal. Because of it the race was a lottery and the spectators got to see a Williams on the podium."

Regarding Hamilton's lead, Alonso reiterated his impression so far: "He is in the best position now and all the rest of us must recover, but I still see the title as being disputed by four drivers."

To me, this double WDC champion's sarcastic statement doesn't recognise and respect the hard work of Hamilton and Williams + Alex Wurz at all.

he must have forgot he make a huge mistake and miss the turn one at the beginning of the race. At least I didn't see Hamilton make such mistake.

I thought Kubica was badly injured too... but i guess the safety standards in F1 are really high. What really surprised me though was that even with such high standards of safety and he survived with no problems, why were his feet exposed outside the survival tub?!?!

Link to picture with his feet exposed: autosport.com - Photo Gallery: Canadian GP Sunday (2007)


If the car had barrel rolled on the front side/his feet.. they would have been completely crushed. He wouldn't have just walked away with a sprained ankle. He is indeed a very lucky chap...
