Driver of the race, GP du Canada

**ioan** · 10th Jun 07, 20:01

If there's a racer in F1 than it's Sato!

Takuma for Driver of the Race!

**harvick#1** · 10th Jun 07, 20:03

Sato hands down

Heikki for runner up

Overtaking 3 guys in the final ten laps, including Alonso

**akv89** · 10th Jun 07, 20:04

There was simply too much drama to pick just one driver

Hamilton, for getting the first of what will be many wins in his career.
Kovaleinen and Wurz, for starting at the end of the grid to take 3rd and 4th place.
and of course...Taku

**Daika** · 10th Jun 07, 20:09

Sato. Overtake and overtake!!!

**Ian McC** · 10th Jun 07, 20:09

Lewis for not only showing his racing ability but his maturity for leading all the race including 4 safety car periods.

Hell I will open a cold one to celebrate that

Sato for showing what he can do, well done Taku!

**Big Ben** · 10th Jun 07, 20:11

it was LH Ioan... even if he drives a McLaren
and how about wurz? he finished in the 3rd place with the rear wing broken... for so many laps

**rohanweb** · 10th Jun 07, 20:12

it has to be the rookie race winner Lewis

then comes Sato.. he is maturing big time with that car!
and Nick , who has done a great job for bmw.

the worst has to go to Jenson winehouse!

The finishing positions are really good ones but they lucked into with the 4 SC. However they also kept their head at the right moments.

How the hell can you give someone worse driver of the day when his car failed to start?

**Robinho** · 10th Jun 07, 20:16

Sato on any other day than today, but it has to be Hamilton for a great first win, never looked under pressure, even after all the safety cars, whilst his teammae and championship rival were losing their heads or not at the races

The same way he gives the best drive to the one who had the fastest car and the right strategy to not be bothered by anything, it's called bias.

**ioan** · 10th Jun 07, 20:21

A poll would be awesome.

Hardly, you can't blame someone for the fact that their car wouldn't start and if you think sitting at the front for the whole race including 4 safety car periods is nothing then you are certainly wrong.

**harvick#1** · 10th Jun 07, 20:23

Alonso had to be the worse driver of the race, 2 time champ runs off turn one 4 times

Sato is in the most underfunded team and blew around Alonso and others for 6th

Yep.. me too!

I wonder if that will be enough for Heiki to keep his seat..

**GridGirl** · 10th Jun 07, 20:33

Sato drove amazingly, Halmilton and Heidfeld kept cool head when chaos was going on around them. I'd give Alex Wurz as driver of the day. The bloke had guts to keep driving a car with a potentially damaged rear wing round such a high speed circuit.

And who says f1's boring, eh?

**VkmSpouge** · 10th Jun 07, 20:35

Driver of the race was Lewis Hamilton. He was in a league of his own today and never put a wheel wrong in such high pressure circumstances.
Other great drives today by Nick Heidfeld who also didn't make a mistake and deserved second, Alex Wurz and Heikki Kovalainen having cool heads and Takuma Sato for his late overtaking to earn sixth place.

**Brown, Jon Brow** · 10th Jun 07, 20:41

The top 5 all did very well and they were the 5 drivers who didn't make any mistakes.

Lewis- dove like a veteran and made the most difficult win look easy

Heidfeld- did well to keep alonso behind, and drove just as well as Lewis to keep his place all race.

Wurz- incredible to get 3rd after starting near the back and having a broken car.

Kovalainen- for getting 4th after starting last and keeping his head after being slammed by the media and his bosses.

Sato- for disguising his Super Aguri as a McLaren. Could have got a podium if he had clean final pit-stop.

**truefan72** · 10th Jun 07, 20:42

Despite all my recent criticism of him,

I have to give credit where it is due and offer my honorable mention to Ralf Schumacher for coming home in P-8

solid result for what seemed like a dead weekend.
