canadian grand prix, june 07

I know all the arguments against Grand Prix. It's obscenely expensive, bad for the environment and normally dull as ditchwater.

But at least in the Canadian Grand Prix you get a bit of action! Four jolly jaunts out for the safety car! More people whacking into the Wall of Champions! Or should that be the Wall of Dented Egos? Discuss, while sending get well vibes to young Kubica and his broken leg.

And Lewis Hamilton won :)

One of the ex-Reservoir Mogs, Kingsbridge, was really good at recognising which engines were about to blow up. He would sit near the tv, purring at everything but if his ears went back and he snarled, something would be off in heap in the next 30 seconds. Had an excellent success rate, but we never found a way to make him profitable. Should've taken him to Ron Dennis and offered to save him a fortune...

Kubica's not got a broken leg - it's a sprained ankle. Which is remarkable given the violence of the crash.

No word on whether he can race this weekend though.

keith, ta for update - just heard the bit where they were bigging up the event! though why you need to exaggerate when the car ended up that messy, i don't know.

sophie - sure one of the F1 wags will have a manicurist who can sort it out :)
