Well the most horrific part of the Canadian F1 race was Kuicas crash. Dang… and he was not seriously hurt, F1 does do a good job on car safety!
After Kubica hit the back of Jarno Trulli’s Toyota on the approach to the hairpin, forced Kubica into the grass on the hairpin inner, the ground bump sent his car into the concrete wall (where are the tire stacks!?). The front of the car shatters (as it should). The BMWer flips (what seems forever) across the track and finally start on the otter edge of the hairpin.
They had reported he had a busted leg, but in reality he had a sprained ankle and concussion. Thank goodness. A great driver “walks” away safely more or less.
Now on to the winner!!!! Lewis and his first F1 Grand Prix win! We knew it was only a matter of time. Hey were was Alonso? Oh 7th. Well that sure wasn’t like Monaco now was it.
The one I really liked, was Takuma Sato. 6th place and 3 points. Super Aguri-Honda is making great strides at each race. Especially for such a small budget and small team. You know it has to tick off Toyota and Alonso! Go Sato. Plus he just has such a great vibe about him.
Lastly, since I talked about the groundhog during practice, I have to mention that Super Aguri that hit a poor little guy. Causing a unscheduled pit to get a little fur out of the car.
It is all laughs and grins until someone gets hurt, right moms!

How about the groundhog running across the track right in front of Ralf Schumacher during the 2nd round of practice coming down the straight stretch. That looked like one scared little critter for sure when he was about an inch from the sidewall! You see him trucking along, accordion up and then smoke it off the track. That was one lucky groundhog. He could of been bits in the radiator or a thump under the right rear tire of Ralfs.
