I haven't seen the race, but know the result: thanks to this crash, Kimi started at the end of the race. He didn't even make the podium, and loses his lead in the drivers race to Michael Schumacher , who won the Montreal GP. Anybody who saw the race or knows what happened, please feel free to share here. I'm just so sad for Kimi

I've asked the same question, Lee, and I don't guess anyone knows. That ring seems to be off and on. It's not there when he's watching qualifying. May be he have to take it off when driving?

I think you're right Lee. They wear those gloves to drive and a ring might bother while switching gears, which they do with their fingers.

So is Kimi married or not? Either way, he finished in first place in the first round of qualifying at the GP of Europe almost two seconds ahead of the Shumis

I don't think Kimi is married. At least they've never said so on tv. This weekend he reached his first pole position , but unfortunately he couldn't turn that advantage into a win today . Kimi blew up his engine when he was leading the race . Ralf took over first position and won the race. This can happen, but Schumi has like 7 more points in the standings . Next week there's the french GP in Magnycours and I hope he can close the gap on Schumi again.

No, I don't watch cars drive. Even if I did, I wouldn't be a Schumacher fan. Medvicsek likes him! Lord, she worships Sampras! Obviously that is not the way to go, then.
No, I'm just an attractive-men fan. ;D
Edit: One day I'll master the articles "a" and "an."
