Conditions are extremely cold in winter, but in the warm, summer months the inhabitants come alive with activity.

Iliana Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 WHAT A RACE!!!!!! :nw: Both Montoya and Alonso showed everyone their class and talent....especially Alonso, whom his ego has reached the skies...now he kissed the wall and said goodbye :LOL: :LOL: ok I don't put all the blame on Montoya's shoulders about the BLACK FLAG, his team should've told him not to exit the pit lane at that time! but...before that, he almost crashed in the pit exit!!! :LOL: Race report from f1racing.net Raikkonen wins Canadian Grand Prix! Kimi Raikkonen won a thrilling climax to the Canadian Grand Prix from a late charging Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. The race was an event of high attrition in which just eleven cars made it to the finish. Giancarlo Fisichella and Fernando Alonso made strong starts to the race putting their Renaults in first and second positions respectively as Michael Schumacher slipped down to sixth and pole-sitter Jenson Button fell to third. Home hero Jacques Villeneuve got into trouble on the first lap and ended up pitting for a new front wing. At the front Fisichella led Alonso, Button, Montoya, Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher. Michael Schumacher was the first driver to make a pit stop on lap 12. The German was clearly on a three-stop strategy and was followed in on the next lap by Jenson Button, who had adopted a similar strategy to help him win pole. As the Renaults continued to lead, McLaren began to pile on the pressure as their first pit stops approached. Raikkonen went fastest on lap 23 before making his first pit stop at the same time as Alonso. On the next lap Fisichella made his stop from the lead, followed in by Montoya. The Colombian had a scary moment when he ran wide at turn two on cold tyres. As the drivers settled back into the groove it became clear that Alonso was faster than Fisichella and was desperate to get past his team mate and take the lead. Alonso did not have to wait long as Fisichella's hydraulics failed on lap 32 releasing the championship leader into first place. Alonso led Montoya and Raikkonen until the remaining Renault driver ran wide in the first sector and slapped his rear right tyre against the barriers. Suspension damage was not repairable and Alonso watched the rest of the race from the pit lane. Montoya scooped the lead and was comfortably ahead of team mate Raikkonen. Things were about to get interesting as Jenson Button ran too deep into the final chicane, bounced over the kerbs and crashed into the wall. His BAR Honda was stranded on the pit straight and the safety car was deployed. Raikkonen reacted immediately jumping into the pit lane for his final stop. Montoya had to follow the safety car around for a lap before making his stop. The Colombian zoomed out of the pits and rejoined the race behind Raikkonen who was now in the lead. Michael Schumacher meanwhile made his third and final stop of the afternoon and was up to third place. The even greater tragedy struck for Montoya as race stewards disqualified him for apparently leaving the pit lane under a red light. The Colombian cruised back to the pit lane and retired in fury. Raikkonen retained the lead and despite a final charge by Michael Schumacher won the Canadian Grand Prix by just over one second. Rubens Barrichello claimed third place after starting from the pit lane and Felipe Massa rounded a great result for Sauber with fourth. The Brazilian held of a final lap charge from Mark Webber who made do with fifth place in his Williams. Ralf Schumacher brought his Toyota home in sixth ahead of the two Red Bulls of Coulthard and Christian Klien who scooped the final points. Villeneuve never really recovered from his first lap disaster and ended the race ninth ahead of Monteiro and Christijan Albers. Raikkonen has now closed the gap to Alonso to 22 points and McLaren is just 13 points behind Renault in the constructors championship. Toyota is now tied with BMW Williams in third place on 47 points and Ferrari is fifth with 45 points. next grand prix in 1 week at Indianapolis, USA!

Panathinaikos_Trifilli Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I said it wasn't 100% his fault! I was agreeing with u!!!!Heres a story for you to get ur teeth into, lol: During a live broadcast after the qualifying round on saturday, Louise Goodman, from the ITV F1 team, was tlking to David Coulthard about him finishing 12th place on the grid: GOODMAN: 'Have you been practising with that pit lane speed limiter? COULTHARD: 'Yeah I have. I've just been imagining it's your nipples. I'm being a bit more gentle with it when I take my finger off it at the end of the pit lane. GOODMAN: (laughing) 'Thank you very much, David.' :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elastonpappou 13 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I wander what would have happened if Schumi did the think in the pit like Montoya... As usual everybody would have done the papia :whistle: afterwards saying how great Schumi was!!! OYST!!!! :box: :box: :box: And Fisichela had a car problem that is why Alsonso wanted to overtake him... It wasn't anything about ego and as soon as Alonso got in front then Fisichela retired with gearbox problems.... ;) Anyway as long as Schumi didn't win then that is fine by me!!!! :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iliana Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 Michael Schumacher has been given a penalty every time he does something that breaks the rules. and you obviously don't know that at Friday's Free Practice session, Briatore uses only Fisichella's car to make laps and get info about which tyre the team will choose for the race...Alonso's car stays safe in the garage...maybe that's an explanation why all the mechanical problems are on fisico's car? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had always car problems, while Schumi had a Tank, free of colliding with other drivers, and getting them off the track!!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iliana Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 no, Irvine was doing an excellent job with trying to overtake someone but he ended up in the gravel instead! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
