Re: Formula1 Season 2007
Not a 3-2-1 finish for Lewis Hamilton, but nevertheless a fantastic performance - 3-2-2 . 3rd consecutive podium finish for Hamilton as he ends up in second place behind Massa. Last years champion, and team mate Fernando Alonso was placed 5th.
Here are the complete standings:
From F1 pages:
The result puts Hamilton, Alonso and Raikkonen in the joint lead of the drivers’ world championship, with 22 points apiece. Three races in, and the rookie not only leads the world championship (albeit jointly) but is the first man ever to finish on the podium in his first three races.
cheers

Re: Formula1 Season 2007
I still don't agree with the new points system (3-4 years old now) which rewards consistency rather race wins. The old point system was so much better. If there was a greater reward for winning and higher positions then people would take risks, try and overtake and make daring maneuvers. I just don't like the idea of someone who has not won a race leading the championship series.

Re: Formula1 Season 2007
Yes Dhruv, totally agree with u ... With this new point system, winner doesn't get advantage like old days, but otherhand consistent driver can out-perform winners and high risk takers with their consistent performance.

Re: Formula1 Season 2007
I think the pressure is getting to Kimi and Massa is much a better driver than people have given him credit for. Massa when teammates with Jacques Villeneuve was as good is not slightly better than a World Champion driver and when with Michael Schumacher was good enough to keep Schumi honest.
Currently he looks to be a better driver than Kimi and I think Kimi didn't expect that and it looks like Kimi is being unable to handle the pressure of having to fill Schumi's shoes.
Also I wonder how good/fast Alonso and Hamilton really are and how much is down to the car they are driving. People are saying the Ferrari is faster than the Macca this year but really no-one knows and with Hamilton being black and British and all that the press will not entertain any thoughts of him being an above average driver in a great car. They'd rather picture him as a great driver in an above average car.

Re: Formula1 Season 2007
Congratulation to Lewis Hamilton for his maiden pole position ... So Ferrari having another tough race coming.

Re: Formula1 Season 2007
Oh, what a race it was today!! You name it and it happened today in Montreal. Absolute drama from start to finish.
Alonso got too aggressive at the start and couldn't brake hard enough at the first turn after the start. He cut the corner and went flying across the path of Lewis Hamilton and joined the group in 3rd place. Nick stole the second spot with that mistake from Alonso.
The safety car came out 4 times in the race, Robert Kubica had a spectacular crash just before the hair pin bend with wheels flying across the track and no one else getting caught in the debris. Jenson Button (Honda) was pushed off the start because of engine malfunction. Massa and Fisichella were black flagged for driving out of the pitlane when the signal was red!
And to top it all off, Sato gave a fantastic display of his driving skills (may be crazy too! ) with the Super Aguri Honda - overtaking McLaren's Alonso during the final laps of the race!! Wow!
Alonso and Nico Rosberg had to go through a 10 second stop and go penalty as well.
Of course, the real noteworthy event today is the first formula 1 win by Lewis Hamilton starting from Pole position. One of many more to come...
I was glad to watch the action today. Montreal is pure drama. Nick during his interview says, there shouldn't be such drama. They ought to change the track and avoid all the marbles?! (according to him). May be he lost his marbles today?!
And, there was this crazy sequence where Trulli and Nico did a little bit of a synchronised spin ( dance?!) in the middle of the track while their cars were not touching at alll!!
cheers
