Kubica leads BMW 1-2 at Canada 8 Jun 2008
Robert Kubica has marked his first win of F1 careers masterfully and led his teammate Nick Heidfeld to the finish. Coulthard is a well deserved third thanks to a solid drive and a perfect pit stop strategy. Kubica also takes the championship lead thanks to his win.

I noticed an unusual Friday press conference on the FIA anouncement
I cannot remember that they ever had just two teams lately and a driver and technical director each. Or is my memory playing with me?

I don't answer to your question, 'cause I have a question too!
My national TV channel (TF1, I live in France) will not display the Montreal GP this week-end, just because they prefer show a stupid football match... Do anybody has a link where to watch the GP in live streaming? Thanks! |

http://www.itv-f1.com/VideoLive.aspx I believe that you will have to fake an UK IP adress to get it
http://www.pplive.com/zh-cn/download.htm this is a player that you can install to watch CCTV. they show the race. its difficult to get through all the chinese though If you can find a digital satellite TV in Europe watch one of the free Channels with another language. German RTL is free. that should give you a much better picture than any internet coverage.

Finally, I do not have to get up at 6:00 am (0600) to watch an F1 race live!
Kimi has already suggested the safety car will be a key to the race. Let's hope not. I think we'll continue to see the second- and third-tier falling away, with only Ferrari and McLaren capable of winning without some strange happenstance (in which case BMW might finally win one). It's also past time for Kimi and Hamilton to assert themselves and clearly leave their teammates behind. |

What a changes? Extrelmy hard concrete walls too close to the track, this is nothing special safety changes. IMO the barriers must be steel and should absorb the force of impact, this concrete walls is still dangerous. |

if you have studied the accident you may remember that the angle of the second impact wasn't as flat as one might have wished for. it was in fact 45°. that isn't good at all! the additional wall now closes the gap between first grazing impact and the second hard impact where the marshalling exit used to be. they have now overlaped that exit with walls so that any simillar accident will produce a very shallow impact angle.

Yup it was Davidson (SAF1) who hit such a groundhog damaging the front wing. |
