Double joy for me, Force India will go some more places up and Schumi will atleast be within points.

Kubica was such a prick.

Because of his dirty move, Sutil's tyre consequently blew in the next lap and he lost valuable time.

Happy to see both the Force India cars in the top 10.

Hope the stewards take action on Robert Kubica.

Great race from both the McLarens and Alonso. Alonso could have won the race but for the traffic. Massa too drove a good race to get into the points but should have either settled or waited till the next lap as Schumi was definitely struggling with his car for grip.

A bit of strange race for Schumi. I wonder why didn't they get rid of the supersofts ASAP. They could have done a middle stint for 10-15 laps on it and continued to race in the medium compounds.

But MercGp should really be looking over their shoulder for Renault is catching them quickly. All the talk of being the third best team aren't going to help if they don't find genuine pace in the car.

Ferrari should be back in the lead hopefully with major upgrades for Valencia. Really hope they do, Alonso deserves it. He is putting the car in the front and extracting more than 100% from it.
Go Ferrari

^can someone post the results please?

Anyone realized that Schumacher spent 36 laps on one set of soft tyres? From the outside, that just feels like rubbish strategy.

Good stuff from McLaren though. Got the tyre strategy right and both drivers were fantastic. Not a wheel wrong, really. And they're now topping the championship.

It was a gamble that dint pay off.
Was wondering the same about Webber.

Mercedes GP and RedBull got it all messed up this time.

Great race and great to see a really competitive race after a long time.

A bit of tough luck for Tonio Liuzzi- given his pace, he would have certainly finished a lot higher than 9th had it not been for teh incident with Massa in the opening lap. what is with Force India and Ferrari- looks like their stars dont match.

anyways, great to see a top 10 fininsh for both the cars.

Schumis race was really pathetic and you could clearly see that his car's balace was way below optimal- he needs to really work with Ross Brawn to get things right ASAP or else his comeback will end up becoming a sad joke. you can clearly see that the fire is still there in him and his talent is beyond doubt- but the car needs to shape up pretty quick.

The Canada GP is back...and how? This was simply one amazing race to watch. Overtaking moves up and down the field, crashes, pit lane poker; this race had it all.

The move Massa pulled towards the end of the race was simply amazing.

An awesome drive from the McLarens, and lastly, a superb move by Sutil on Schumi on the last lap of the race.

FIA has issued clarification now for this.

Quote:

Whiting reportedly clarified that, in future, any car that runs out of fuel at the end of qualifying will be summoned to the stewards, risking penalties if the reason for the stoppage is not 'force majeure'.

Mclaren did a wonderful job for the 1-2. Lewis was excellent.

Finally, Ferrari showed some pace and I am happy. Massa did an awesome overtaking but finally got nervous when he met Michael on the track and screwed it up!

Redbull should have gathered more points here, they messed up on the tire strategy!

Grafin · 15th June 2010, 12:46

IS Kubica getting penalised for overtaking Sutil before diving into the pits?

anachronix · 15th June 2010, 13:19

They look too happy!

He got a warning for it.

His version of what happened is something like this: Sutil apparently braked quite early that time and Kubica went around him to avoid running into his back end.

He thought he could say howdy and Schumi would let him pass.

That said, Has Schumacher become Takumo Sato or what?
He's becoming quite the entertainer.
