Next Race is my neck of the woods...Montreal , Canada. My ex went there a couple times. I was in college the last time, so I couldn't go. He called me on the phone to tease me with the sound! He took some awesome pics so it was good. LOL

The Canadian Grand Prix (known in French as the Grand Prix du Canada) is a Formula One auto race held in Canada since 1967. It was first staged at Mosport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario and alternated between Mosport and Mont Tremblant, Quebec until 1971 when safety concerns lead to the Grand Prix moving permanently to Mosport. In 1978 the Canadian Grand Prix moved to its current home on Ile Notre-Dame in Montreal.
In 2005, the Canadian Grand Prix was the most watched Formula One GP in the world, the race was also the third most watched sporting event on the planet The first winner in Montreal was Quebec native Gilles Villeneuve who died in 1982 on the final qualifying lap for the Belgian Grand Prix. A few weeks after his death, the race course in Montreal was named Circuit Gilles Villeneuve after him. Gilles Villeneuve was one of the first inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame. The 1982 Canadian Grand Prix, already dreary because of the death of Villeneuve a month earlier, saw another horrific accident when Villeneuve's teammate Didier Pironi stalled on the grid. Raul Boesel clipped the stationary car, and Riccardo Paletti then slammed into the back of Pironi's Ferrari. Pironi and F1 doctor Sid Watkins came to Paletti's aid to try to extract him from his car, which briefly caught fire. After a half hour, Paletti was extracted and flown to a nearby hospital, where he died from his injuries. In 1987 race was not held due to sponsorship dispute between two local breweries, Labatt and Molson. During the break the track was modified, and startline moved to its current position. The 1997 Canadian Grand Prix was stopped early due to a huge accident involving Olivier Panis. Panis spun off and broke his legs. He was sidelined for nine races and some see it, unfortunately for Panis, as a turning point in the career of the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix winner. In 1999, the final corner of Circuit Gilles Villeneuve became well-known for catching out former World Champions. Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve all crashed into the same wall which had the slogan Bienvenue au Québec (Welcome to Quebec in English) on it. The wall became affectionately known as the "Wall of Champions". The wall also caught out Ricardo Zonta, who, at the time, was a reigning sports car champion. In recent years, World Champion Fernando Alonso, GP2 Champion Nico Rosberg and CART Champion Juan Pablo Montoya have also fallen victim to the wall. Because of tobacco legislation, new venues, and a maximum of 17 races on the schedule, the Canadian Grand Prix was preliminarily removed from the 2004 F1 schedule. However, Canadian officials were able to raise enough money to keep a Grand Prix race, with the FIA allowing expansion to an 18 race schedule. Grand Prix Du Canada 2007 Official website FIA post-qualifying press conference - Canada Drivers: 1st Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), 1m15.707s; 2nd Fernando Alonso (McLaren), 1m16.163s; 3rd Nick Heidfeld (BMW Sauber), 1m16.266s. |

Hamilton sure made, but what an extreme crash from Kubica. I really glad he seems to be okay, only complaining about some pain in his foot.
Probably tomorrow morning, he'll be a bit stiff getting out of bed. IF he can get out of bed. |
