Will Hamilton repeat last year's success in Canada ?


After a really crazy Formula 1 race in Monaco, the teams go to Montreal,Canada . Everybody is anxious to see what will happen next. Lewis Hamilton has climbed to the top of the drivers championship with his latest win and will be now racing on a circuit he likes and where he won last year. The McLaren's seem to have closed the car performance gap that seemed to separate them from the Ferrari's of Massa and Raikkonen, but Robert Kubica ,the young polish driver is looking stronger each race and this could be the place where he will grab his first Formula 1 win. The location of the circuit is magnificient as well, but we doubt the pilots will have time to enjoy the view :) .
This is looking to be the most fought season in decades, with no less than 4 drivers from 3 different teams in contention and probably Canada will be another beautifull chapter of this fight.

Could Bahrain give an early title favourite?


After the first 2 races , no less than 5 drivers managed good performances which could make them compete for the season champion title.
Kimi and Lewis each won one race, while the BMW drivers Heidfeld and Kubica delivered convincing performances as well. Allthough he didn't take the spotlight , the second McLaren driver Kovalainen is also among the top drivers, while Massa is yet to finnish one race. The former double world champion Fernando Alonso is strugling with his car , clearly slower than anybody on the top 3 teams.
Anyone of this top 5 winning will surely put his name in as the early front runner now. Bahrain is a rather new circuit,and allthough rain has a 1 in a million chance to appear , everybody is worried about high speed winds which would bring sand on the race track. Also extreme temperatures are something normal here,so we might expect quite a bunch of engines going boom.
The third interesting thing would be who will receive an offer from the sheic of Bahrain this year to live in his pallace as Michael Scumacher hasn't returned to F1 :)
