They don’t call them Race Weekends for nothing!

An absolutely delightful weekend for all motorsport fans out there. Back to back excitement is what we call fantastic racing.

As The 2010 24-Hour Le Mans commenced in France showing a brilliant performance by Audi, the 2010 Montreal Grand Prix in Canda took off after a gap of few hours where team McLaren once again proved its worth.

World Champion Lewis Hamilton marked his consecutive second win of the season and teammate Jenson Button sealed the deal by making it yet another one-two win for the duo. Fernando Alonso drove his Ferrari to the bag the third podium position.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Canada saw an action-packed race where high wear and tear of tyres was the critical key point for all drivers.

Red Bull driver Mark Webber would know best how important it was to play safe with tyres in today’s GP as his strategy of not switching to super soft until much later, probably cost him championship points as he finished fifth. Whereas, a frustrated Vettel finished fourth as he faced a car problem and had to make sure that he did finish the race.

One thing the drivers didn’t expect was the traffic they’d have to dodge on this track. Quite a bit of tyre to tyre pushing and shoving took place today making it all together a brilliant race.

Force India drivers Liuzzi and Sutil showed some impressive driving skills today as they tackled veteran Schumacher for a long time fighting for 11^th and 12^th positions finally both of them overtook Schumi as seconds ticked towards the chequered flag bagging ninth and tenth position and the first one-two championship points for them together leaving Schumacher to finish eleventh.
