Canadian Grand Prix Analysis

Ahh.... my other 'home' race. And this time I was able to watch it from start to finish!

I sure wish Kimi kept it much closer to Fernando. It was nice to see them race, as I think Kimi is an aggressive driver and can pull off daring overtaking maneouvers. Too bad for that error in the pits, and then in the last lap which led to his eventual third place finish. So, it was a (yawn) Alonso-Schumacher-Raikonnen 1-2-3 finish respectively.

Montoya and Rosberg were racing against each other really well in the first few laps, and then Rosberg took himself out by not seeing Montoya on his side. Montoya would soon retire too when he crashed into the Wall of Champions.

With each race, Honda seems to lag back. Now, Red Bull is catching up and overtaking them! I sure hope the new management will bring in some new changes. I would suggest bringing back David Richards, but since he has his own Prodrive team to worry about in 2008, he is out of the question!

Ralph Schumacher reminded me of myself whenever I play F1 Challenge in my computer... always lacking grip and spinning out in the hairpins! There was definitely lack of grip on his car, and I'm amazed he stayed out that long. Speaking of lack of grip, the marbles outside of the racing line proved to be Villeneuves demise. Too bad as I was cheering him on too.

Everyone else drove consistently and predictably... obviously the Renault is the best package around, and I think Ferrari and McLaren are equals, with the drivers styles being the main difference.

On to Indianapolis!

Life is Beautiful!
