At last!..Kubica gets what he deserves


Montreal, Canada has always had the knack of throwing up many suprises. be it in the form of off-course excursions, pit-lane poker (as steve so aptly put it!), or thoroughly unexpected winners. And this year's edition dint disappoint! Robert Kubica became Poland's first grand prix winner. That 32 toothed smile, complete wid the bald head with a small tuft of hair trying to conceal the obvious said it all!.. Awesome result and full pionts to kubica!

Practice sessions on Friday n Saturday projected what was expected, the red cars and silver cars sharing the honours at one apiece.. Qualifying was quite an exciting session... Lewis produced magic towards the end to snatch pole from the pole, kubica, in the dying seconds! its quite baffling why heikki is struggling when lewis is so sublime in the same car!

Anyways, raceday dawned with the good news that force india would not occupy their customary place on the last row of the grid after all! (Why oh, why did Super Aguri leave :( they usually have that honour! ) some penalties and Adrain and giancarlo were spared the embarrassment. The track conditions were atrocious to say the least. A FIA Formula One race track with such bad tarmac?! unbelievable... so much so, that overnight relaying of the tarmac was necessary. The track officials are gonna get screwed for that surely!

As the 5 lights went out, all cars got away cleanly, no first conner incidents! (surprise, surprise!) but just when u think that the canadian grand prix can be normal after all, Sutil blows it. after an awesome drive in monaco, a lot was expected, but the poor old german cudnt do much!... that led to safety car period no 1... lewis' lead curt down completely... we did expect quite a few cars down pit lane when it opened, but it was quite a procession!.. positions 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 into the pits!.. talk about pit lane poker!.. the ferrari pit crew did an absolutely awesome job to turn over kimi so fast, that he actually was ahead of lewis in the pit lane! but trust lewis to screw it all up!.. the idiot dint even see the red light at the pit lane exit and ploughed right into kimi!.. nico had no option but to plough into lewis' back!.. there comes the expected Montreal-Mayhem! KImi and Lewis out of the race!..

Actually come to think of it, justice might have been served after all!... KIMI bangs into Sutil's back in Monaco, Lewis does the same to KIMI here!.. hope someone bangs into Lewis in france!.. anyway, that left the whole race in kubica's hands... Massa had to do another pit stop, which relegated him to 17th. but the fierce brazilian that he is, he fought back to 5th, in what was an astounding, albeit unnoticed drive...alonso was looking really good, when his gearbox dumped him. things just dont seem to be happening for him.

Overall, the race was exactly what the fans expected!-excitement, uncertainity, and entertainment.. watch out for the flying ferraris in France though!.. they must be smarting after they had all the bad luck in france. but with kubica and BMW doing what they did, both drivers' and constructors championships have been blown wide open!.. France promises to be fun!
