GP of Canada Race Thread

Anyone watching live? Here are my story lines:

1) Can Ham get his maiden win?
2) Who will hit the "wall of champions"?
3) Will Kimi wake up before the first pitstops (or at all during the race)?

OMG Kubica... this is not good. I don't think he'll make it (I hope I'm wrong). A prayer goes out.

When I saw that shunt, I immediately went back to my memory of Greg Moore's crash at the California Speedway.

I'm thinking he has some serious bone breaks. I wonder if he will drive again.

Only hope that I have is that Lady C Legg had a massive crash in Milwaukee, and walked away. However, I didn't like the angle of his impacts.

Praying for him.

Word is condition of Kubica is stable.

I'm thinking his season is over. Who will BMW import to take his seat?

Too bad Montoya is on contract...

What a crazy race. I think Ham is throwing marbles from his car causing mayhem behind him.

Race reset:

1) Yep.
2) I think half the field hit the wall of champions.
3) Sadly he did not wake up.

I wonder if Alonso was having issues with Brake Boiling, or fade, he overcooked so many turns. Really made me wonder if he was on crack or something. I'm just not used to this.

when Taco passed him, you could see Alonso had no choice but to brake way early, thus allowing Taco to take the pass.

I know I have said it before, but I hate that you guys call our Two Time World Champ "The Donkey."

Great to read all of your input.

Nola, how is that baby batter developing?
