Kubica Wins His First Race In Montreal




Congratulations are in order tonight for BMW Sauber as they finally took their long overdue maiden victory in Montreal on Sunday.

The BMW team is slowly becoming one of the next powerhouse teams and they have sent quite a clear message to the others, with Robert Kubica leading Nick Heidfeld home in a fabulous one-two on a day when early leader Lewis Hamilton slammed his McLaren into Kimi’s Ferrari while he was waiting for the pit exit light to go green.

Lewis was subsequently given a 10 place grid penalty for the next race at Magny-Cours in two weeks. That’s got to sting a little I would think.



All weekend long, the track surface was being torn to bits by the massive horsepower that today’s F1 cars put down, and it caused a lot of problems for all the drivers to say the least. Montreal had better get it together and re-surface the track or they will probably end up losing the race.

My drive of the day must go to Felipe Massa, who made some very very nice passing maneuvers throughout the race just to come home fifth. It was a pleasure to watch as we haven’t seen that kind of driving for a while.As a result of his first win, Kubica now leads the world championship fight with 42 points to Hamilton and Massa’s 38 and Raikkonen’s 35. Here’s hoping that BMW throw their full weight behind Kubica in his bid for the title.

See you in France on the 22nd.

Hillary Should Have Left Along Time Ago


THE WISH:

She was the one ready to take that URGENT 3am call from day 1.

Her whole campaign, that was what she said.

She promised quick action to resolve problems.

THE REALITY:
Ready on day one?
She wasn't ready for losing on day one, or two, or three. Should we have expected anything different from a Clinton? Absolutely not.

This family is all about themselves, everybody else be damned.

She is attempting to use 18 million voters as a bargaining chip to further her political career so she can bask in some cushy job, possibly the VP slot.

I for one hope that she gets some lowly post in Alaska.

Be gone with you on the morrow wench.

Get outta Dodge.
