The 8th stage of the Formula-1 championship-1-"Grand Prix of Canada" turned into a real Czechard. The owners of the first and second positions based on the qualifications of Jenson Batton on the Bar and Michael Schumacher on the Ferrari already by the starting straight line by both the Renault Boloda - Dzhancarlo Physicelle and Fernando Alonso.

Physicelle was the leader until the 32nd Circle, until he was forced to complete the distance ahead of schedule due to problems with hydraulics. Alonso picked up the relay wand, but it was enough for only 6 laps until the suspension refused. The third leader was Montaoya at McLaren, but a dozen circles Jenson Batton, who claimed the podium, fell into the famous “Champions Wall” - a chipper in the last turn to a direct start -finish.

Raikkonen managed to turn into boxes near Seaphy-Kar, and Montaoya was forced to turn there later, because of which he missed his partner in McLaren. But the misadventures of Juan-Pablo did not end there. When leaving the pit lane, he violated the prohibition signal of the traffic light, for which he received a black flag - disqualification.

Kimi Raikkonen confidently brought his car to the finish line, although Michael Schumacher tried to overtake him on Ferrari. The third place on the catwalk went to another representative of Skuderia - Rubensu Barricello, who started from the last place from boxes!

Fortuna Raikkonen returned his appraisal for two weeks earlier deprived him of victory on the last round of the Grand Prix of Europe due to wear of the wheel. For Finn, this is the 5th victory in the career and the 3rd-in the season. He reduced the lag behind the leader of the current championship - Fernando Alonso - up to 22 points, - reports rtr-sport.ru
