Posted by admin

On the restart, Clint Bowyer got underneath Reutimann and checked him up by getting him a little loose, giving Bowyer the lead. However, Brad Keselowski, driving Earnhardt's #88 Navy Chevy, passes Bowyer on fresher tires to take the lead, and the soon win. Now this is where things get interesting.On the final lap, David Stremme gets into Bowyer and gets him loose, sending him up the track. Bowyer came out with a 4th place finish while Stremme and Reutimann finish 2nd and 3rd respectively. During the post-race interview, Bowyer begins to complain about how Stremme checked him up and that is why he belonged in the Nationwide Series.Now...hold the phone.

Didn't Bowyer himself check up Reutimann to get the lead? I guess Bowyer doesn't mind doing this as long as it is not done to him. Stremme said it best when commented about Bowyer doesn't like it when what he does is done to him.I completely agree with Stremme. Bowyer is just upset that his method of winning the race backfired on him and instead of finishing second, his medicine was dished back at him and he wound up with 4th.My opinion: Don't complain about a maneuver done to you when you go and do the same maneuver right back. I think it is rather hypocritical and almost whineywhen someone does that. Next time you hear a driver complaining about something that was done to them, don't agree with them right off the bat.

Check to make sure they didn't do the very same thing they complained about.Anyways, for my next little article, I am gonna comment about the "wonderful" safety crew that Pocono had during their race this weekend Until next time.. The Canadian Grand Prix began with a crash filled final practise session which saw both Toro Rossos crashing with Sebastian Vettel damaging his car so badly it would not be ready for Qualifying.Jenson Button didn't get to qualify for the Grand Prix either, damaging his gearbox in the early part of the first session. Both Button and Vettel would start their race from the pitlane. Elsewhere, the story of the qualifying sessions was actually the circuit rather than the action itself.The tarmac at turns 2 and 10 of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve were breaking apart because it is manufactured from a resin tarmac rather than the sort of tarmac used in European races.

Course officials blamed the cars new more aggressive tyres and lack of traction control for ripping up the circuit. Whatever the cause, the track was becoming a dustbowl, it was not unusual to see the Formula One cars sliding sideways around the hairpin at turn 10. Spectacular to watch but not the fastest way around the corner.Lewis Hamilton found the fastest route around the track, finding a typically banzai line through the final corner paying little respect to the 'Wall of Champions' and skating the quickest about those problem corners. Kubica looked on for a first Pole Position but was pipped to the honours by the Englishman. Raikkonen was the fastest Ferrari claiming a lacklustre third place with Massa faring even worse with only sixth.

Alonso and Rosberg were the stars of the show with fourth and fifth respectively while behind it was the second drivers of the front three teams, Kovalainen in seventh and Heidfeld for BMW in eighth.The race began with the circuit drying just moments from the race start. To repair the damaged circuit some rather useless cement was put down as a binder at turns 2 and 10 The early stages of the race were relatively normal. Later the track began to break up once more.When the lights went out Hamilton led away with Kubica in second and Raikkonen in third place. Hamilton was kept relatively honest by the BMW of Kubica whilst Raikkonen became slow and cruised in third with graining tyres on his Ferrari. On lap 14 Hamilton was beginning to haul out a commanding advantage and victory for Mclaren seemed assured. On this same lap Adrian Sutil, the people's hero of Monaco spun his Force India in the first chicane and the Safety Car was deployed to clear the stricken car.When the pit lane opened the leaders all went for the pit lane.
