Finally, Lewis Hamilton won the first Grand Prix of his career at a very very eventful Canadian Grand Prix at Gilles-Villeneuve Circuit. Nick Heidfeld took the much deserved second spot for BMW-Sauber followed by an highly elated Alex Wurz for Williams F1.

Due to excessive work pressure, I was not able to follow up my Malaysian GP Preview with the Race Summary, and now it’s too late to do that. Therefor I decided to let the images do all the talking this time and spare the readers the agony to read what I write. Enjoy the images …

And Kimi Raikkonen takes the chequered flag at 2007 ING Australian Grand Prix. Reigning champion Fernando Alonso finished second in his McLaren, followed by the rookie [and Fernando's teammate] Lewis Hamilton walking on the podium in his debut race.

If you thought Formula 1 racing were boring, think again. The race can’t get any more interesting and spectacular, with David Coulthard deciding to take “Aerial Route” literally on Alex Wurz. With Heikki Kovalainen thinking of Albert Park as Park, in literal sense, and driving his Renault in grass quiet a few times. With Takuma Sato finishing ahead of Jenson Button but behind Reubens Barrichello. With Felipe Massa managing to finish at 6th place after starting from 21st place on the grid [and thus proving my predictions for grid positions wrong]. With Williams managing to finish ahead of both of the Toyota’s.

Let’s look at what happened in some details.

“To be honest, it has been quite hard to judge because things have been a bit up and down, but I would say that on balance, McLaren and Ferrari have been pretty equal at the front, and BMW are right up there too,” Renault engineering director Pat Symonds said. “But all the usual caveats apply - this is winter testing, and you cannot be sure of the fuel loads other people are running. It is still too early to work out an exact classification.”

Hmm… ruled out Honda ?? And what about Williams & Red Bull, still considering them lower category cars ? As far as we are concerned, other than the four Symonds have pointed out, Williams or Red Bull could spring up the surprise. Honda, even we don’t think they will threaten any team this season. So what do you think ?

As reported on BBC

Red Bull Racing’s Mark Webber has claimed former team Williams are now nothing more than Toyota’s B team …. “There will be denials but there is a feeling that a B team is how it is,” Mark Webber told the Sydney Morning Herald.

“They might have new engines, but not a lot has changed in the structure,” Mark Webber said. “There’s no real reason why the results should be any different for them this year. I thought I would go to Williams and then finish my career at Williams. But it was a tough gig for the credibility of a lot of people. That’s what happens when there’s such a huge drop in form.”

Some strong words Mark ! And we hope that you just won’t keep on harping about Williams and your sorry state there, and prove yourself at Red Bull in this season [so that we can put some credit to all of your talks].

Williams launched their 2007 contender, the Williams FW29. Team boss Frank Williams said “Without question, 2006 was not our finest year but I am delighted to see how the entire Williams workforce has pulled together and redoubled its efforts over the winter.”

And we hope to see their effort pays off.
