F1 Canadian Grand Prix Review

First post for the week, seventh post of the F1 season. Thoughts on yesterdays Canadian Grand Prix.

Good weekend

  • Lewis Hamilton (won the race overall)
  • Romain Grosjean (finished second)
  • Sauber F1 Team (Sergio PĂ©rez finished third, Kamui Kobayashi finished ninth)

Bad weekend

  • Ferrari (Fernarndo Alonso finished 5th, should have won the race, but didn't pitted at the end that cost him a win, Felipe Massa finished 10th, spun in the race, could have been on the podium)
  • Jenson Button (finished 16th, a race weekend too forget)
  • Bruno Senna (finished 17th, not a good weekend from Bruno Senna)
  • Michael Schumacher (DNF, DRS failure)
  • HRT (Pedro de la Rosa DNF Brakes, Narain Karthikeyan, DNF Brakes)

Overall, another very good Canadian Grand Prix from Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. Lewis Hamilton won the race overall, becoming the seventh different driver to win the first seven races, which is a record in Formula One history.

The win paid off for Lewis Hamilton on lap 49 for a second tyre stop. Whereas, Alonso and Sebastian Vettel decided to try and make it to the end on their existing Pirelli tyres, but Hamilton had the pace to hunt down and pass both of them for the win at the Canadian Grand Prix and the lead for the drivers championship too. Lewis Hamilton is now two points ahead of Fernarndo Alonso who is second in the standings, and three points ahead of Sebastian Vettel who is third in the standings. A well earned race win from Lewis Hamilton in Canada.

Anyway, that is all. Bye.
