I find that the Gilles Villeneuve circuit has more accidents then most of them

well most of the accidents come from that wall of fame coming onto the straight where just about everyone has had at lease one close encounter with the wall or had some impact...

one of the most weird loss of traction was where Trulli and Rosberg both spun at the same time as if they contacted but they didnt
it was like a ballad with F1 cars...

sad to see both spykers ramming into that wall one right after another
lol

props to Sato for a 6th finish
best ever for Super Aguri Honda

The Canadian Grand Prix was crazy, the safety car was deployed like 3 times or more. When you have 850whp, you're flying by. I think I heard the driver, Rubica, suffered with a broken leg, but overall he was okay.

no broken leg, just a bruised ankle if you can believe that. what kubica said to the doctor was can i race?! sign of a dedicated racer or a madman LOL but i'm really glad to see that he got out of that one unscathed.
