Canadian Gp Qualifying | Hamilton hails

The only race in north america this year is the canadian GP. It started with loads of excitement as Lewis Hamilton of Britain raced a awesome last minute lap to take the pole position from Robet kubica.



Alonso will be followed by BMW's Robert Kubica who will be followed by the current world champion Kimi Raikkonen.



Raikkonen was the first of the big guns to hit the track in Q1, but both Kazuki Nakajima and Toyota's Timo Glock soon displaced the reigning world champion. Felipe Massa re-established the status quo by going faster still.

Both Mclaren mercedes and BMW were faster in the Q2 than Ferrari and Fernando Alonso was gaining momentum suddenly Kimi became P2 yet he was not able to touch the unaccesible Hamilton time.

But in the final minute many things happened Robert Kubica displaced Hamilton by a stunning Last minute lap but Hamilton suddenly boomed from the pits and raced the most amazing qualifying lap of all time and he once again captured the No.1 spot.
