spyker formula 1

Well, today we saw a Moto GP race, which everyone around the world the idea would be impossible to overcome. And it could have been, perhaps. The F1 Grand Prix of Canada, known their careers by entertaining and full of incidents, the height of the reputation and beyond all. Lewis Hamilton won the race, but that’s the end …

In one race there were four – yes four – Car safety, many people in the “wall of champions” as well as other walls, two drivers to get black marking and much more. Let’s start with the principle, the grid:

 1) Lewis Hamilton (McLaren) 2) Fernando Alonso (McLaren)  3) Nick Heidfeld (BMW) 4) Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari)  5) Felipe Massa (Ferrari) 6) Mark Webber (Red Bull)  7) Nico Rosberg (Williams) 8) Robert Kubica (BMW)  9) Giancarlo Fisichella (Renault) 10) Jarno Trulli (Toyota) 

 11) Takuma Sato (Super Aguri) 12) Tonio Liuzzi (Toro Rosso)  13) Rubens Barrichello (Honda) 14) David Coulthard (Red Bull)  15) Jenson Button (Honda) 16) Scott Speed (Toro Rosso) 

 17) Anthony Davidson (Super Aguri) 18) Ralf Schumacher (Toyota)  19) Alex Wurz (Williams) 20) Adrian Sutil (Spyker)  21) Christijan Albers (Spyker) 22) Heikki Kovalainen (Renault)

First incident goes to Mr. Fernando Alonso, each and every one hopes to keep the head and use his experience to take the race away from his younger companion in crime. Unfortunately, however, Alonso had the opportunity and tried to pass Hamilton on the outside of a corner in the first round and just did not work with Fernando getting very hot and have to take the historic first trip across the grass at the first corner. Alonso managed to run through almost the same piece of grass four times in the same race, time to lose the position again and again and having to additional lost time because of the illegally cut as the safety car was coming out of an incident. Despite of these five incidents Alonso was directly implicated that cost him time, not only do not end in an accident and to withdraw from the race, but actually managed to finish seventh. There was another incident involving striking Alonso – who was adopted in normal race Takuma Sato (who finished sixth) in a Super Aguri!

Too many incidents to list in one article, but one that definitely needs highlighting. Robert Kubica crashed in a spectacular accident, and spectacular I mean the fact that he left the hospital the next day with nothing more than a sprained ankle and concussion. The accident occurred shortly after that he had obeyed a red light signal at the end of pit lane and waited for the safety car to pass, down the straight with terrifying speed made contact with a Toyota in the fast curve to the left before the hair-pin curve Casino. The accident is basically beyond description, and is a testament to the safety standards in F1 is doing well now and well on its way to recovery.

An incident to keep in mind is the brain-fade suffered so much by Felipe Massa and Giancarlo Fisichella. Both seemed to pass Kubica at the exit of the pits, while the light was red – the punishment is a flag that is black and straight. Pack your bags and go home boys.

Only twelve riders reached the final of the race, and their positions were:

1 – Wonderboy Lewis Hamilton started in the first place, keep a cool head when everything collapsed around him, which seemed the most experienced of the pack to chase to drivers

Heidfeld 2 – Nick also kept his head and remained calm throughout the chaos

3 – Alex Wurz

4 – Heikki Kovalainen

5 – Kimi Raikkonen in the quietest part of the career of anyone and does not do much at all

6 – Takuma Sato

7 – Fernando Alonso

8 – Ralf Schumacher

9 – Mark Webber

10 – Nico Rosberg

11 – Anthony Davidson

12 – Rubens Barrichello
