Yes, good job! Funny act with his car too. :)

But tomorrow will not be as easy for Lewis. This year you will need to start the race on the tyres you've qualified on, but the soft tyre which Hamilton used lasts for only four laps before it starts to deteriorate, possibly even worse when driving around with a full fuel load. Both Red Bulls (And Kubica, possibly others too) qualified on the hard tyre so they can use the soft tyre at the end of the race when they are running on a low fuel load.

Then again, it is Canada and a safety car situation in the first laps is quite likely...

And knowing the two F-1 events I attended at Ile de Notre Dame, it's likely to rain. :icon_lol:
