"Oh Canada" Should Really Be "Whoa Canada"
11 June 2007 in Formula 1 | Comments (0)

And by that I’m referring to yesterday’s Formula 1 Grand Prix in Montreal. I haven’t seen this much action for a long time:

• Polish Kubika had a nasty looking accident and, quite amazinly, has been given the all-clear
• the safety car had to come out numerous times, 
• some beaver groundhog of Notre Dame island did a hit-and-run (sorta) on a car
• two cars were disqualified for running a red light in the pit lane exit
• some guy looking like Tom Hanks from “Cast Away” was on the 2nd step of the podium and claimed that the track had loose pavement during the race
• in the end, roughly half of all cars finished the extreme Canadian F1 race

This was action with nothing like it and after my pulse had settled, I realized it was long time since F1 was that full of action. :) Last time was back last year when there were Michelin tyres that enabled cars to overtake, which is something that the current Bridgestone tyres seem actively disable in F1 cars.

Updated: Davidson most likely hit during the race the same groundhog that R. Schumacher almost hit during practice, as reported by Pitpass.
