Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian GP, in Montreal, today, taking his maiden Grand Prix victory for McLaren-Mercedes in only his sixth start(One first, two seconds & three third places now, not bad eh).

Heikki Kovalainen in the Renault was fourth, Kimi Raikkonen in the Ferrari was fifth, Takuma Sato in the Super Aguri-Honda was sixth, Fernando Alonso in the second McLaren-Mercedes was seventh and Ralf Schumacher in the Toyota took the final point.
Rosert Kubica has been taken to the L'Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal in the downtown area for tests following his enormous crash in the Canadian Grand Prix. The Polish driver is reported to have a broken leg, but is conscious and talking. Kubica hit the wall at high speed (160+) on lap 27 while he was fighting for 13th place with Jarno Trulli. The collosal impact, on the right side of the track in the fast left-hander before the hairpin, catapulted the car back across the track , coming to rest on its side at the hairpin. He was extracted from the car eight minutes after the crash.
