Hamilton must have been looking down at his wheel making adjustments or resetting something. It does make him look incredibly stupid though.

Alonso has his own problems though. lol

So..............................................did that, uh, however you describe that monumental, never-before-seen piece of brain fade qualify as "blows it"?????
Ditto? (Though not never-before-seen in Alonso's case.)

But you would kinda think, coming out during a safety car scenario, they'd be heads up for that traffic signal.

Or maybe not!

Just because you are fast, it doesn't mean you have to be smart......

Massa is looking better all the time for the WDC. Racing - anything can happen.

Both McLaren and BMW benefitted greatly by Hammy taking out Kimi. It's too bad it wasn't a Force India car or something.

The only thing I have to say is that Hamilton wasn't the only person to crash into soemone at the end of pitlane but my guess is he'll be the only one to receive the wrath of the internet couch racers. STUPID move on his part but I'll wait to see what both he and Kimi say to judge.

I still don't understand the reason for a redlight at pit out unless there is a crash that makes exiting the pits a hazard. However it's happened in the past so the drivers should be expecting to see it no matter how pointless the rule is.

Wow, awesome race. Good job to Kubica.

Did anyone predict that by the Candian Grand Prix BMW would be 2nd next to Ferrari (and only 3 points behind) with Kubica in the lead for drivers??

Simply amazing.

Great for Kubica! As far as the Hamiltons (edit!) are concerned: Dad 1, Son 1!

Fred Alonso just has issues. Last year at this race he had a lot of off's. Not much better and in fact worse this year.

This should be a fun end to the F1 season with everyone getting bunched up in the driver standings though.

Ron Dennis needs to pony up some $ for his #1 drover to get a red/green colorblindness test.

WOW!!!! He did it!!! Amazing. Hamilton was not so lucky this time. It was a bonehead move, I like the way Kimmy pointed to the traffic lights.... To bad Alonso had dnf, he was doing very good job in that French car. He deserved a podium. Wow what a race.

Get an aerial you will be able to view Digital HDTV feed without cable...............


First congrats to Kubica and BMW , solid drivee by a so far solid Kid

Hamilton : Fastest had the race wrapped up WTF , happened to Hammy and Mclaren ?

1. First they mistime the safety car
2. Then they get hamilton out 3rd when he pitted 1st
3. THey never warn their driver about pit being red ?
4. Hamilton in his haste to regain lost position ran into the back of Kimi , bonehead mistake on his part , avoiding His buddy Kubica for Kimi, Priceless

Alonso:

1. Showing his worth by pulling Renault to the point ...
2. Really making WTF mistakes by pushing too hard , again with Heidfield , who was obviously ordered to let Kubica thru and was a lot slower than Alonso . Fred should have settled for 3rd , but maybe he had to make it past Heidfield to finished 3rd , who has become like DC to him in trying to pass .......Alonso needs to just make it happen and stop pushing so hard in a 3/4th place car his Ferrari seat is secure , as there is no way Ferrari will keep there 2 amateurs after this year....


again congrats Kubica , WDC lead and a steady eddie. Hamilton will have to raise his game and lower his mistake prone charge , again this WDC is his again to lose .............. France will be good for Ferrari he will have it difficult to pull the points he now need to Kubica .
