What about Bob? - Grand Prix of Canada
After Lewis Hamilton's stunning mistake at pit out (perhaps he didn't think that the red light applied to him) took himself and Kimi Raikkonen out of the race, Robert Kubica seized the advantage and stormed to his and BMW Sauber's maiden victory.
To make BMW Sauber's day even sweeter, Nick Heidfeld gave them a 1-2, coming from mid pack to the podium, which is almost becoming a tradition at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit. I wonder if Peter Sauber will smile all the way back to Europe.
David Coulthard scored a podium for Red Bull, and Sebastian Vettel came from a pit lane start to the points.
Kubica takes over the lead in the Driver's Championship, with Massa and Hamilton tied for second four points adrift. Raikkonen is a further three points back.
In the Constructor's Championship Ferrari still lead, but only by three points over BMW-Sauber, with McLaren sitting seventeen points behind.

Qualifying - Canadian GP
Lewis Hamilton takes pole at Canada with a last second flyer that pushed Robert Kubica's BMW to second. Kimi Raikkonen salvages third for Ferrari, which seems strangely off the pace here, especially in the third sector with the long back straight.
It's going to be interesting to see what develops in the race tomorrow. There's a slight threat of wet weather, but even dry conditions promise some mixed up results as the sudden rise in air and track temperatures is creating some slick conditions.
Workers swept the hairpin between each session, and strong cross winds blew vegetation across the track. Mark Webber was one of the victims, tagging the wall on his cool-down lap to end Q2. He'll start 10th.
Here is your starting grid:
| 1) | Lewis Hamilton | 1:17.886 |
| 2) | Robert Kubica | 1:18.498 |
| 3) | Kimi Räikkönen | 1:18.735 |
| 4) | Fernando Alonso | 1:18.746 |
| 5) | Nico Rosberg | 1:18.844 |
| 6) | Felipe Massa | 1:19.048 |
| 7) | Heikki Kovalainen | 1:19.089 |
| 8) | Nick Heidfeld | 1:19.633 |
| 9) | Rubens Barrichello | 1:20.848 |
| 10) | Mark Webber | no time |
| 11) | Timo Glock | 1:18.031 |
| 12) | Kaz Nakajima | 1:18.062 |

Hamilton wins wild, wet Monaco Grand Prix
In a damp race marred by several crashes, difficult tire choices and two safety car deployments, McLaren's Lewis Hamilton comes out on top and retakes the lead in the Driver's Championship.
The race only went 76 laps as it hit the two hour time limit. Robert Kubica had a sensible drive to second place, with polesitter Felipe Massa only managing third, but that was better than teammate Kimi Raikkonen, who fell to 9th with two unscheduled stops.
Force India had looked set to score its first points with Adrian Sutil in 4th place, but an incident with Kimi on lap 69 in the tunnel ended his day.
Points Finishers
1) Lewis Hamilton
2) Robert Kubica
3) Felipe Massa
4) Mark Webber
5) Sebastian Vettel
6) Rubens Barrichello
7) Kaz Nakajima
8) Heikki Kovalainen
