wow! i went to bump this one up and you guys did it for me. canada was a great race and an amazing maiden win for the 2007 world champion. alonso is so rattled, ralf schumacher is gonna be unemployed in about 2 weeks i reckon!!! he will be replaced by ryan briscoe or maybe even te japanese guy nakajima (cant think of first name, he is williams tester at the moment, stauro's son, and williams have toyota engines!!!!)
but the story is of kubicas accident... i thought we were witnessing a fatal accident on sunday, all he got was a bit of concussion and a sprained ankle, incredible!! and he is racing at indy on sunday!!!!!
for those of you that havent seen it.............

looking closely you can see that roberts front wheel clipped the parked torro rosso by the wall moments before the bmw smacked head first into it at 170 mph. if he was just inches closer to theparked torro rosso he would have clipped it with the undersde of his car and definatly have cleared the wall and hit an oncoming car on the otherside... he was sooo lucky, the sport was sooo lucky!!! thank god for safety cells and moncoque and gifted designers, 5 years ago, he certainly would have not survived or at least not been able to walk again........
back to the season. its gonna be fascinating to see how kimi and fernndo deakl with their "number 2" drivers battling for the championship. i wouldnt count out heidfeld in the bmw either, he and the car is ever improving and bmw dont do losing very well in any motorsport, just look at their touring car and sportscar history.
nice to see more racefans coming out of the woodwork!
