Nice win for a nice chap over his less than 100% teamate, after Felipe who was 10sec's! in the lead, blows his engine on the front straight, ahead of fellow Finn Kimi and the plucky Timo Glock, who really bounced back after his shunt and trounced nearly everybody. The rest....quite honestly these Euro races really beat up a fellow up in North America, with setting the PVR with all the coverage differences or worse, trying to stay up, you don't even remember what happened in the morning.....  Zuts alor. Wish there was more for this week. Next report will be awesome. 

Now for now ---  Simmer down you posties,  Things are under semi-control in the sport we all love to not love.  So, let's look on the bright side for awhile and see where that takes us.

merci

If not for Button kooking his stop and letting the others through, Ruby had an upset in the bag. A fine drive from Heidfeld in 2nd and bad strategy left Kimster 4th.  A wet and sloppy one without thankfully any safety cars due to Silverstones incredible width.  Something all will miss including Lewis Hamilton who looking like the cadet 100cc Knockhill championship winner he was/is and found all the klag and marbles to kart his way to the line winning his home race, fist pumping Anthony, never mind the bollocks, here's the Hamilton's.  Nice words for bro at the post race.  Good times all 'round,  yet the politics have just begun.

Next stop, Germany.  Hockenhiem.  The last few times it proved an exciting event.  The BMW's will be strong, after a so-so weekend and so will Ferrari, who really dropped the ball in the UK.  Mclaren too, as long as Dennis an co. can keep the happy family together until then.

What about next year, and Fernando Alonso becoming the next Jacques Villeneuve of F1.  Suck it up buddy and drive for your team, like a man, and do your best to make it better.  Ever played golf, scorched the first nine, had the second nine burn you, well, that's the way it goes. Reality is, Fernando never beat Schumi, fair and square, their cars were the difference and they were never really close.  Sad to see Coulthard go too.  Another vet driver pushed out for the sake of a Vettel, Sutil, Nakajima.  All of whom combined will be hard pressed to match DC's win and podium finish record.  Or never date as many hot babes as he did either.

Someone who sucked it up, Coulthard, might probably have been World Championship had he not left Williams in 1995 for Mclaren where he played the second fiddle to Mika all those years.  Another example of why you do not swap teams all the time and/or have your heart set of Ferrari.  In a reversal of fortunes Alesi re-buffed Williams to join Ferrari, which then Wiliam gave DC the ride.  See how it goes, poker man.  Stay away for the tables and be reliable.

Do not worry, the fans will always have something to talk about.  Good luck to DC the rest of the year out.  Look forward to the hot and sticky summer-time races in the next few weeks.

And the new Formula 2, next year.

BMW with Heidfeld in 2nd win a crumbly Canadian GP with, finally realizing they're all kids out there, David Coulthard in a fine 3rd for Red Bull. An unrepentant Lewis Hamilton had led the race early until the first safety car period, due to Sutil's oddly paked Force India - which forced the Adrian to make a girlie like run for the armco, very stylish - the new New Kids on the Block is out too!

Raikkonen was the unfortunate victim of Hamilton's like father like son imitation, his dad Anthony crashed a $600K Porsche, talk about Surrey. Funny, all these miles away and you still can't take the Surrey outta the boys...in any case, as Kimi and Kubica sat at the end of the pitlane waiting for the light to change, Lewis ran into the back of them followed by another stellar GP2 grad Nico Rosberg to smash up the lot of them and leave the astonished Kubica undamaged and alone to cruise to a fine victory, with only his down-trodden team-mate Heidfeld able to keep him honest while behind them all sorts of mayhem and bedlam unfolded on the crumbling track forcing all to tip-toe through to the end.

Indeed, an interesting race and excellent sideshow for the gob-smacked North American fan, yet no one was very impressed. Watch the heat turn up on the organizers and get a way without saying what they mean and meaning what they say. Jean Charest is versed to avoid rue st. denis.

Next race, back in France, at Magny Cours, again the last race there. Right, until the next one. Will Mosely attend, will the winds affect the aero package, can BMW repeat again? Many new items to focus on and help us forget the Montreal skiddoo race and the marble fiasco on isle notre dame.

Meanwhile, lets watch the politics...

Steady drive from young hammy to survive a puncture and hold on to win a rain-strewn Monaco, with Kubica second and champ leader Massa in 3rd, who despite outqualifying and racing Kimi, is still under pressure at Maranello. Rumour has it Alonso has signed to be there in 2010, and Massa is the odd-man out. Time will tell, in the meanwhile, a lot of bad stratgey at the race costing positions first for Massa who was filled for one stop-but stopped twice, Kovalianen let down by his team, perpetualy out of luck, Rosberg who kept spinning, Raikkonen, et al. Millions of dollars and still, anything can happen. Case in point, Sutil running in 5th until Kimi took him out. Quick hands on the iceman, or it would've been could've been much worse, and then the hard Seb Vettetl bringing the new Toro Rosso home in 5th while Bourdais might be contemplating the good old days. All an all a good event, sans traction control with good racing and lots of action. Next stop Montreal, and the same kind of track that punishes mistakes. Hamilton is looking very strong again, as is Massa and Kubica. Looks like the season is just getting going. Over the next few weeks much will be revealed.

Anti-clockwise specialista Felipe holds on to win a hum-drum Turkish GP, with Macca and Hammy using their poor pit stall to take 2nd and Kimi the Man cruising home the points in third. The BMW's were invisible in 4th and 5th, with Heidfeld notable for his cruise up the field from ninth on the grid. Not invisible were all the pretty women in the garages, notable STR and Macca. Good work all around. Rounding out the point scorers were the usual suspects, Toyota, RedBull and Williams. Very dull in the mid-field, though certainly the polytechnic's will be talking abouth this one, well, until the next one. That's the thing with them, it's the biggest thing in the world, until the next big thing. Hmmmmm. In any case, the next big thing in motorsports, GP2 served up a couple of exciting races, including, unfortunately, a canine fatality and a livid Bruno Senna. The GP2 Monaco race will be a weekend to watch, as will the senior boys, though more for their good work with the girlfriends than the pimply faced teenaged engineering team-force and their pre-occupations. 2009 will/might be more interesting, here is more for now.
