NEXUS- LINKING YOU: Celebration,drama and carnage

The world has a new champion, the rookie- Lewis Hamilton, certainly deserves to be called so. He has won the Canadian GP in style and did it in his sixth race this season. He now leads the championship points convincingly leaving his team-mate Fernando Alonso behind in the second place.

The Canadian Grand Prix at Montr'eal had it all, mistakes of the drivers,crashes,spins,penalties and even retirement in the race.

The race started with Lewis leading the pack but at the first corner, Alonso spun and dropped back from his initial second position. Ferrari's kimi Raikkonen dissapointed again as he slipped down from his initial position too.

The safety car was very busy during the whole race. It came out four times making things worse for Lewis. There were many car spins, collisions with the wall and collisions among the drivers. The circuit was bit demanding and slippery so there is no point in blaming the drivers on pushing their cars hard. Robert Kubica of BMW sauber's team was a sure victim of this. He collided with the wall and spun full 360 degrees before coming to a halt and broke his leg. It is rumoured as one of the worst accidents in the recent past.

Fernando Alonso had a torrid race in the Montr'eal. He spun his car many times at the first corner of the circuit, got 10seconds go penalty and was even overtaken by Takuma Sato in the race.( Was Sato at his best or Alonso at his worst? )

Ferrari had a set back too as Fellipe Massa got a black flag in the finishing stages of the race. He was looking strong before he issued the black flag.

With all these happening at one side, Hamilton kept his nerve and drove like a true champion and never looked like he was retarding.
