3 laps to go and Raikkonen leads by 3.5 seconds!

Alonso makes up 0.8 seconds on this lap. Will he catch up with Raikkonen ?

Raikkonen has a major problem with his tyres. Can he hold onto the lead!

Raikkonen crashes out of the race. His gamble doesn't pay off and Alonso leads the race!!

Raikkonen's tyre just disintegrated and he slid off the track and into the gravel just 1 lap from the finish!

I don't think is fair gambling with the pilots lifes. I could see on TV the front suspension bending more than it was suppose to 3 laps before the accident... if there were good strategists at McLaren Kimi could be a comfortable 4th! It's a shame!

Hey, mates, when will Marketing Webber finally deliver?

Barrichello 32s ahead of Schummy... this is something that have made my day!

And Alonso inherited Schummy's luck: two inherited victories so far! It would be very hard to catch him.

Oh, Canada!!!

Webber...

too bad.
all went bad here.
I'll be loving Webber for his great speed on the first corner for some time!!

I don't think any driver will ever be as lucky as Michael

Can anyone tell me whether the additional formation lap caused due to the aborted start following Fisichella's problem on the grid counted towards the race distance? Thanks.

I believe the race was shortened by one lap.
