F1: Raikkonen wins dramatic race. Kimi Raikkonen wins the Canadian Grand Prix from Michael Schumacher to give his title chances a major boost. [BBC News | News Front Page | UK Edition] No, he didn't win it from Michael Schumacher. He won it from Montoya (who was black flagged), who won it from Alonso (car broke up), who won it from Ficichella (car broke up, same brand). Schumy was there quite by accident. Barrichelo did a lot of merits to get from last to third. Unfortunately since it didn't happen at the front we all missed it. 8:13:24 PM  What do you think? ( Thoughts) Who linked? []

Against all odds and through a series of weird events, Schumacher manages a second to Kimi's first. The championship reopens a bit, but Kimi still has it very tough. It is clear Schumy has motivation but no car. Though the tyres perform better when is hot (and it should be hot from now on), they don't seem to be much better than the Michelins. Should be a entertaining second half of the season... 2:39:41 PM  What do you think? ( Thoughts) Who linked? []

Schumacher is in the first row in Canada. So, I will watch the race, je, je. I have no battery, so I will be far from the computer. I post if something happens... 12:16:09 PM  What do you think? ( Thoughts) Who linked? []
