Canadian Grand Prix

Well that was a race! (Eventually). Button went from last to first, collided with his team-mate Lewis Hamilton then later with Alonso. Vettel led all but the final lap. He must have been gutted.

We have an outright winner again for this race - congratulations to Michael_Ciantar. A Prize of a Wimbledon DVD will be on its way shortly.

Next race is the European Grand Prix in 2 weeks time.
