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!!!

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.
