German newspaper Bild, ridiculed 24-year-old Alonso for his unique brand of post-victory celebrations. While Schumacher does his famous ‘leap’ after a win, Alonso likes to imitate animals as he stands on his blue Renault. In Barcelona he acted like King Kong and yesterday in Canada, he climbed on his car and mimicked an eagle.#.
“If Alonso continues like this, he will get his second title – and he will be F1′s joke World Champion.”#.
Alonso takes his maiden Canadian GrandPrix win, with seven time canadian GrandPrix winner, Michael Schumacher taking second and Raikkonen in third. Only 14 out of 22 drivers crossed the line as everyone suffered or struggled for rear grip at the hairpin which is just covered in marbles at the end. With just 10 laps to go, Villeneuve went hard into the wall at turn 1 and the safety car was deployed, which enabled Schumi to come close to Raikkonen and eventually pass him at the hairpin to claim the extra 2 points. Raikkonen was really unlucky with heldups at both the pitstops and finally loosing 2nd place.
On the whole its a boring first half and the second half was little bit exciting with some overtakings. Ferrari and Schumacher have lot of work to do to catch up Renault in the next weekend’s United States GrandPrix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. (more…)

I should have done this long back but donno why I haven’t checked how to make widgets work. Ya, I was lil bizy with my other work as you might have noticed the low posting in the last 3 weeks.

Michael Schumacher will remain as the President and Director of Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA) following a half-hour meeting on Friday afternoon between the members of the GPDA closed ranks. The meeting, which took place behind closed doors in Silverstone’s paddock, was concluded without a major incident and the details of the meeting were not revealed.
Coulthard, a fellow GPDA director, said
I don’t want to say too much about what the discussion was, but we are still represented by the three main Directors. I think it was a good meeting, It was good to clear the air over the ‘he said, she said’ of the last two weeks. Everyone is unanimous in that we are together and that we want to move forward and Michael is a major player in that.
I think it’s time to put an end to this Schumi’s issue and concentrate on the rest of the season.
