I spent the past 3 days at the Canadian Grand Prix. The weather was great all weekend.

Lots of action but the race itself almost began to look like a NASCAR race as the safety car was out 4, 5, 6 times??? I can't even remember how often it came out but it was often.

There was one very serious crash. Kobica (sp?) in a BMW Sauber lost contol at about 200 mph veered to the right and hit a concrete retaining wall, bouncing off of it and across the track where he hit the outside concrete retaining wall. This was one of the most violent crashes I have ever seen but the good news is that he only had a mild concussion and a sprain. There was very little of the car left.

Lewis Hamilton won his first ever F1 race and now has a solid lead in the championship.
