Season 2 Race 7

Hulk smashed the Canadian GP, with a superbly dominant drive, that is after Schumi/Arrows faked up yet again.
Quali was run in monsoon weather and as such the cars were light and all running on wet tyres, which allowed a free tyre and fuel choice in the race. At the start however Alesi stormed into the lead into turn 1, a place he has not seen since S1. However his hopes of staying there lasted only a few corners as Schumacher stormed by with his straightline-suited car. Hulkenberg however could keep up and the pair swapped places, similar to Detroit however Schumacher ran slightly wide into the hairpin which lost him the lead and DRS range. Not to worry, he caught back up quickly and took the lead again, and started extending it, too. However, when he pitted chaos occured as he suffered a loose wheel, he had to carry the car for an entire lap and dropped to (nearly) stone dead last, only behind his brother who himself endured a terrible race too, 134s behind the leaders after rejoining side by side with Nico. This completely killed his chances of winning and sadly there was no Canada 2011. Kubica and Verstappen were battling hard for second place but Max made some mistakes which let him down, and he settled for another 3rd, yet again his team boss was rather disappointed despite Schumacher only recovering to 7th on the final lap. Pro Force and Senna were the only ones on a 3-stop strategy, and Pro Force were leading 1-2 at one point before Vettel pitted.He would not catch back up to Max and Robert. On the other hand, Hulkenberg won a mighty win, his first of the season and his first since the test race in Abu Dhabi on the old sheet.
