Best at running into stopped cars at a red light at the end of pit lane. Bonehead rookie-type move.

Call McLaren. I bet they'd appreciate your input.

Good week for the Hamiltons!

We'll let the FIA decide, I bet hammy-bone loses points over that.
McClaren doesn't mind being penalized, they're used to it by now. |

He'll definitely lose 10 places at the next race.

AAAARRRGGGHHH !!!!!!
Bad end to a joke of a circuit. Bad paving, bad emergency response (no crane for the Force India car), and what is with no victory lane? Crazy to see Coulthard on podium. Doesn't Canada have a better track somewhere? |

Good for Kubica! Well deserved after all his fighting so far this season.
I can hear the partying all the way from Poland over here!

BMW 1-2 and Kubica leading the championship!
![]() But what was with Varsha constantly saying this is going to be a historic win for BMW ... their first F1 win ... blah, blah, blah. Maybe the first for Sauber! Certainly not for BMW ![]() ![]()

Very good race. Sorry to see it happen that way but boy, some nice driving. Especially when Massa passed two cars on one corner!

Massa did the same thing last season. I don't seem to recall any of the same people calling it a rookie mistake then.

DRIVER STANDINGS
01 Robert Kubica 42 02 Lewis Hamilton 38 03 Felipe Massa 38 04 Kimi Räikkönen 35 05 Nick Heidfeld 28 06 Heikki Kovalainen 15 07 Mark Webber 15 08 Jarno Trulli 12 09 Fernando Alonso 9 10 Nico Rosberg 8 11 Kazuki Nakajima 7 12 David Coulthard 6 13 Timo Glock 5 14 Sebastian Vettel 5 CONSTRUCTOR STANDINGS 01 Ferrari 73 02 BMW Sauber 70 03 McLaren-Mercedes 53 04 Red Bull-Renault 21 05 Toyota 17 06 Williams-Toyota 15 07 Renault 9 08 Honda 8 09 STR-Ferrari 7 10 Force India-Ferrari 0 I think calling this a first win for BMW is giving credit to Mario Thiessen, and not crediting their engine program, which of course goes way back to the 80s.

Actually, most stupid was Alonso. Had a chance to get some points, maybe even a podium, and tried for too much. That's a Hamilton '07 move.

I just don't get the fascination with watching F1, or really any other form of racing (especially on TV). To me, racing is a lousy spectator sport.
Participating, on the other hand, kicks serious ass. ![]() Last edited by m21sniper; 06-08-2008 at 12:29 PM.. |

I've got to wonder if Ferrari has some sort of illegal traction control. He managed to slip past two cars on the hairpin that was covered in quick dry because the other two cars were sliding around...

BMW has never won an F1 race as a constructor before today AFAIK, only an engine supplier.
