        McLaren Will Not Be Punished By F1 In Team Orders Controversy

        London, England (AHN)-Team orders in the United States- not really a big deal in the racing world. Overseas, it's a whole diffeerent story.

        The FIA has decided not to punish McLaren Racing for ordering its teams to stay one-two in the running order during Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.

        According to rookie Lewis Hamilton, he was commanded to keep pressure off of teammate, Fernando Alonso. Alonso went on to win the race by four seconds over Hamilton to secure a McLaren one-two finish.

        McLaren boss Ron Dennis seemed happy that the concern is no longer a matter, as McLaren can now get ready for the Canadian Grand Prix.

        "The team did not breach the International Sporting Code at the 2007 Monaco Grand Prix, and as a result is pleased that the FIA, following an extremely efficient, professional, and thorough investigation, has confirmed that the team's actions were entirely legitimate," Dennis said.

        Alonso has two wins in five races this year and Hamliton has posted podium finishes in all five F1 events for 2007.

        The Canadian Grand Prix takes place at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on June 10.

          Hamilton Next Formula One Star to Land $50 Million a Year ?

          Lewis Hamilton is on the cusp of superstardom, according to a famous British publicist.

          Max Clifford, who has represented clients including the billionaire Harrods mogul Mohamed Al-Fayed, said the 22-year-old McLaren rookie is poised to become as big and as rich as David Beckham.







          Football star Beckham recently signed a five year contract worth (US) $250m, and Clifford urged Hamilton to keep up his huge media profile if he wants to make the same sort of money.

          He told The People: "Beckham has taken football into showbiz and it is important for Hamilton to be in the news because that will make him megabucks.

          "(Lewis) has become a household name in five minutes and all aspects of his life are under a microscope," Clifford added.

          Hamilton, the reigning GP2 champion, has finished all of his five career grands prix so far on the podium, but he is yet to win a race.

          PaddockTalk Perspective

          Exactly.

          Let's get young Hamilton to the top step of the podium before firing millions at the rookie.

            F1 circus hits town minus Schumacher for first time in 15 years

            The Formula One circus hits Montreal this week for the 39th Grand Prix of Canada at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

            It's the first one in 15 years without Michael Schumacher, following the retirement of the seven-time world champion, who spent the last 11 seasons with Ferrari, ending his career with a record 91 wins, including seven right here.

            The new face of F1 is Fernando Alonso, the reigning back-to-back world champion who this season is with a new team, McLaren-Mercedes, after leaving Renault. The 25-year-old Spaniard captured his first Grand of Prix of Canada last year, his sixth of seven wins in 2006 to match a career single-season high.

            Alonso, determined to defend his title, will be looking for his second straight victory after lifting the winner's trophy in Monaco on May 27. He has two wins this season. Montreal marks the sixth of 17 races on the 2007 F1 calendar.

            Alonso is battling not only Ferrari's Felipe Massa of Brazil and Finn Kimi Raikkonen, who has joined the Prancing Horse team from McLaren, for the championship - but also his rookie teammate Lewis Hamilton.

            The 22-year-old Brit is the first black driver in F1 and has five consecutive podiums - a rookie record - including four straight second-place finishes. He will be gunning for his maiden F1 victory in his first appearance at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

            Both McLaren drivers have 38 points atop the drivers' standings, though Alonso is the leader based on his two victories.

            McLaren leads the chase for the constructors' title with 76 points - 20 more than Ferrari, which has a pair of wins from Massa and one from Raikkonen.

            Alonso and Hamilton scored a second 1-2 finish by McLaren this season in Monaco. It was a crushing performance by the team as both drivers lapped the entire field at least once, with the exception of Massa, who finished third, more than a minute behind the winner.

            McLaren CEO Martin Whitmarsh told autosport.com late last week that the team was not expecting a similar dominance here, but the team definitely has a win in its sights.

            "The (Grand Prix of Canada) is a very different event to the Monaco race," Whitmarsh said. "We go from the slowest, tightest track packed with corners on the calendar to a circuit that is all about long periods of power and braking.

            "(Our car) performed incredibly well in Monte Carlo; however, as the track conditions are poles apart, we are not going to Montreal with the same expectations.

            "We go to Canada aiming to fight for the victory and to maintain our positions at the top of both the constructors' and drivers' championships, (but) are realistic about the potential to dominate."

            The race isn't sold out, but could be by the end of the week, depending on an anticipated rush for general-admission tickets, which cost $100 for three days, $75 for race day on Sunday, $50 for Saturday and $25 for Friday. Ticket prices for three-day, reserved seating in any one of a dozen grandstands range from $195 to $495, and there are a number of individual tickets for some grandstands.

              سرمايه*گذار بزرگ فرمول يك جهان درگذشت


              بيل فرانس، سرمايه*گذار بزرگ فرمول يك جهان پس از 31 سال تلاش در اين عرصه، درگذشت.



              به نقل از يورواسپورت، مطبوعات جهان به احترام اين مرد ثروتمند كه تمام زندگي خود را صرف گسترش اتومبيلراني، جذب اسپانسر، پخش تلويزيوني، تأسيس ورزشگاه*ها و پيست*هاي بزرگ و تبليغ براي اين ورزش كرد، صفحه هميشگي فرمول يك خود را سفيد و خالي از خبر منتشر كردند.

              وي در سال 1999 به تشخيص پزشكان، خود را مقابل سرطان ديد و هفت سال تمام با آن مبارزه كرد.

              فرانس در ساحل رايتونا كه خود موسس آن بود، جان سپرد و در 74 سالگي، فقط يك آرزوي كوچك باقي ماند كه وي به آن نرسيد و آن تأسيس اولين پيست اتومبيلراني روي يك ناو بزرگ دريايي است كه همراه وي به خاك سپرده شد.

                  McLaren's Lewis Hamilton moved a big step closer to his first Formula One victory on Saturday with his first F1 pole position for Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.

                  The 22-year-old McLaren rookie produced a superb flying lap to pip team mate and double world champion Fernando Alonso to the top slot in only the sixth grand prix of his career.

                  Asked by a tabloid reporter whether he considered his first pole position to be better than sex, he replied at first as most Formula One drivers would.

                  "I think it is completely different. You cannot compare it to sex," he said. Then he paused, and obligingly delivered a headline on a plate: "You know what? I would say it is better than sex. It is!"

                  McLaren team boss Ron Dennis, asked if he was surprised by Hamilton's performances, shook his head.

                  "The only thing I am surprised about is that he put sex behind pole position," quipped Dennis, before conceding that his driver had learnt some lessons about media management in the past two weeks.

                  Hamilton's comments about team tactics following his second place finish behind Alonso at Monaco whipped up one of Formula One's eternal standby stories -- the internal team rivalry and illegal 'team orders'. The sport's governing body, the FIA, cleared McLaren of any wrongdoing since the race order was not changed by the team's management of its drivers.

                  Hamilton's confidence might be read as cockiness in a sport where newcomers usually have to serve their time before getting a shot at glory, but the results are on his side. He is the first driver ever to finish his first five races on the podium and has been second in his past four. Yet despite the success and the attention, he remains a 22-year-old.

                  "I am just trying to take it in my stride. It is all a really new experience for me," he said. "This is my sixth Grand Prix and already there has been a lot of attention, but I get to race a Formula One car around the track, and it is just an amazing feeling. And anything else that comes into it doesn't matter."

                    Lewis Hamilton started his Formula One career with a third place in the opener in Australia followed by four straight seconds.

                    On Saturday, the first black driver in F1 history won his first pole, ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix. He took the top spot with a lap of 1 minute, 15.707 seconds in the last of three 15-minute qualifying sessions.

                    "For that final lap, the car was really sweet," said Hamilton, 22, the first rookie to win a pole since current Nextel Cup rookie Juan Pablo Montoya in 2001. "That was the fastest I had gone into that turn. I nearly brushed the wall on the exit, but I didn't and that was it."

                    Teammate and two-time series champion Fernando Alonso was 0.456 seconds slower than Hamilton on the 2.71-mile Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

                    "The first row will be enough for today, and (Sunday) will be another chance to win the race," said Alonso, who is tied for the points lead with Hamilton.

                    CHAMP CAR WORLD SERIES: Justin Wilson took the pole for today's Grand Prix of Portland with a fast lap of 58.0 seconds Friday on the 1.964-mile permanent road course in Oregon.

                    Rookie Robert Doornbos, the second-fastest qualifier Friday, had the fastest lap in pouring rain Saturday to stay in the front row.

                    NHRA: The Route 66 Nationals in Joliet Ill., will take place today without some big stars as championship contenders Brandon Bernstein, Robert Hight, Dave Grubnic, Whit Bazemore, and Mike Ashley failed to qualify.

                    Heat also kept anyone from challenging the Friday leaders, leaving Tony Schumacher (Top Fuel), Gary Scelzi (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock), and Andrew Hines (Pro Stock Motorcycle) with No. 1 rankings.

                    ROLEX SPORTS CAR SERIES: Alex Gurney passed Scott Pruett with 25 minutes to go and teamed with Jon Fogarty to win the Six Hours of the Glen by 7.069 seconds in Watkins Glen, N.Y. The winners completed 167 laps.

                    CHAMP CAR ATLANTIC SERIES: Rookie Robert Wickens, 18, broke Raphael Matos' three-race series winning streak, beating James Hinchcliffe by 10.957 seconds in Portland, Ore.

                    • Lewis Hamilton is a phenomenon.

                      The 22-year-old Mercedes McLaren driver started his F1 career with five consecutive podium finishes -- a third in the opener in Australia followed by four straight seconds.

                      On Saturday, the first black driver in Formula One history took another big step, winning his first F1 pole ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix. He took the pole with a lap of 1 minute, 15.707 seconds in the last of three 15-minute qualifying sessions.

                      ''At the end of the day, I didn't make a mistake and I'm just thrilled,'' said Hamilton, who never stopped smiling after stepping out of his car.

                      Teammate and two-time series champion Fernando Alonso had a lap of 1:16.163, which was just 0.456 seconds slower than Hamilton's final effort on the 2.71-mile Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

                      Nick Heidfeld was third in a BMW Sauber at 1:16.266, followed by the Ferraris of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa at 1:16.411 and 1:16.570, respectively.

                      Hamilton, who goes into the race on Notre Dame Island tied for the points lead with Alonso, is the first rookie to win a pole since Juan Pablo Montoya won three of them in 2001 with Team Williams.

                      Alonso said starting from the outside of the front row alongside his teammate is just fine with him.

                      ''The first row will be enough for [Saturday], and [today] will be another chance to win the race,'' the Spaniard said.

                      Anxious Wilson on Champ Car pole: Grand Prix of Portland pole-sitter Justin Wilson has some jitters about Champ Car's first standing start.

                      ''It's just pretty much one in four the car will stall and you don't know what you did wrong,'' Wilson said. ''So that makes you nervous.''

                      Still, Wilson likes the idea that Champ Car is introducing the standing start from the straightaway today at Portland International Raceway. Traditionally, the open-wheel series has used rolling starts.

                      ''It's definitely spectacular,'' the Englishman said.

                      Wilson took the pole with a fast lap of 58 seconds flat Friday on the 1.964-mile permanent road course.

                      Rookie Robert Doornbos, the second-fastest qualifier Friday, had the fastest lap in pouring rain Saturday, circling the course in 1:11.629 (98.709 mph). That kept him in the front row alongside Wilson, and also earned the rookie leader from Holland a point.

                      Sebastien Bourdais maintained his spot in the second row with his qualifying run on Friday of 58.308 (121.260 mph). Because of the rain, Saturday's laps were slower for the field.

                      Alongside Bourdais for today's start will be Canadian Alex Tagliani.

                      Edwards pads Busch Series lead: Carl Edwards raced to his fourth NASCAR Busch Series victory of the season, easily beating Clint Bowyer in the Federated Auto Parts 300 for the Nextel Cup driver's third straight win at Nashville Superspeedway.

                          • Lewis Hamilton's learning curve just got shorter -- a lot shorter.

                            The 22-year-old Englishman, the first black driver in Formula One history, added his first F1 victory to an already remarkable career start by winning the crash-filled Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday.

                            And he made it look easy.

                            Hamilton started from the pole, also for the first time. Apart from losing the lead for three laps when he made his first of two pit stops, he led all the way and was never challenged.

                            The youngster has six consecutive top-three finishes in six starts, something no other first-year F1 driver has accomplished. He is now atop the standings, eight points ahead of Fernando Alonso, his teammate and the two-time and reigning F1 champion.

                            "This is history," Hamilton said, grinning.

                            The Mercedes McLaren driver's only competition during the 70-lap race came from BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld.

                            The only thing that kept the race close at all was accidents -- four full-course caution flags that wiped out the leads Hamilton built with seeming ease. He kept winning the restarts, and beat Heidfeld to the finish by 4.3 seconds.

                            "It was a fairly simple race, apart from the restarts," Hamilton said. "On those, I was just trying to keep the tires warm and not make a mistake. The last few laps I was just counting down."

                            After he had won the race, Hamilton scrambled out of his cockpit. He thrust his arms in the air and jumped up and down. He then bounced to the ground, trotted to a barrier and jumped across to dive into the midst of his crew, hugging everyone in sight.

                            "It's been a fantastic season already," he said. "We've had six podiums and I've been ready for quite some time for the win -- it's just been a matter of when and where. The team gave me the best car and I had no problems during the race at all."

                            Heidfeld was almost as happy with his runner-up finish, matching his career best.

                            "I think I had a very good chance to finish second even in normal race conditions, without so many safety cars [on the track] and without Fernando [Alonso] being penalized," Heidfeld said.

                            Alonso started alongside his McLaren teammate on the front row. He made a mistake on the start when he drove off the course in the first turn and allowed Heidfeld to dive past into second.

                            That was just the beginning of a very bad day for Alonso, who was hit with a penalty for pitting too soon during one of the full-course cautions. That set the Spaniard back to 14th, but he got back as high as sixth before two more off-course excursions slowed him. Alonso was passed two laps from the finish by Takuma Sato and finished seventh.

                            Hamilton, who came into the race tied with Alonso at the top of the standings, knows he will have to work to stay there, beginning next Sunday at the US Grand Prix in Indianapolis.

                            • Formula One driver Robert Kubica was released from hospital in Montreal on Monday, less than 24 hours after a frightening crash at the Canadian Grand Prix.

                              The Polish driver suffered a mild concussion and hurt his ankle — not breaking his leg as initially feared — and could race next week in Indianapolis. He was treated at Montreal's Sacre-Coeur Hospital.

                              Robert Kubica was released from a Montreal hospital following an overnight stay.
                              (Jacques Boissinot/Canadian Press) Kubica lost control on the 27th lap at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, clipping the back of Jarno Trulli's Toyota at 240 km/h just ahead of a hairpin turn.

                              The 22-year-old BMW Sauber driver went across the grass and hit a concrete wall head-on before the car bounced across the track and slid on its side to a stop.

                              Debris was strewn across the track as the safety car came out until the site was cleaned up.

                              British rookie Lewis Hamilton of McLaren Mercedes won the event, his first F1 win.

                              The 22-year-old took advantage of his pole position to stay out of trouble in a chaotic race in which only 12 of 22 cars made it to the finish line on the 4.63-kilometre course.

                              With the victory, Hamilton became the first black driver to win an F1 race, and the first rookie to take the Canadian Grand Prix.

                              Kubica's teammate Nick Heidfeld finished second, but said crumbling asphalt left the track conditions "unacceptable."

                              "This is definitely not the best circuit for safety," said Heidfeld.

                              • MONTREAL -- The view out of the side of the pressroom at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit on the Ile Notre Dame in Montreal looks over the podium. Lewis Hamilton pulled his Vodafone McLaren Mercedes into the parking area behind the steps leading up the podium.


                                Moments earlier he had finished a slow cool-down lap as he savored every moment of his first-ever Grand Prix victory along with 105,000 fans.


                                "I was just trying to control myself, to be honest," he said later when asked about the final lap of the race and the cool-down lap. "I wanted to stop the car and jump out and just do, I don't know, cartwheels or something!


                                "I just had to keep it going. The fans were fantastic, to come to Canada for my first time, they really have been fantastic supporters, so thank you to them. It was extremely emotional -- to get all the way into F1 and to have my first pole, my first win!"


                                Standing in the area behind the podium were three men who have guided Hamilton's career for the past decade: McLaren boss Ron Dennis, McLaren CEO Martin Whitmarsh, and Mercedes-Benz's Vice President of Motorsport Norbert Haug.


                                Hamilton hugged Dennis before running up the steps and out on to the podium to celebrate his win along with Nick Heidfeld, who finished second, Alex Wurz, who finished third, and Whitmarsh, who accepted the trophy for the winning constructor.


                                The story that led to Lewis Hamilton's first Grand Prix victory is part of legend now. It was December 1995 when a 10-year-old Hamilton approached Dennis at a postseason racing banquet. Hamilton, who had won a go-karting championship in England, walked up to Dennis, shook his hand, and told him he wanted to drive for him someday.


                                Two years later, McLaren took Hamilton under its wing, and McLaren and Mercedes have guided his career ever since.

                                It took Lewis Hamilton only six races to score his first Formula One victory.
                                Hamilton's paternal grandparents went to England from Grenada, and thus he has an African-Caribbean heritage. But the color of his skin had nothing to do with why McLaren has helped him out. McLaren likes Lewis because he is fast. Very fast. They also like him because he is a genuinely nice guy.


                                Having won championships and races in go-karts, Formula Renault, Formula 3 and GP2, Hamilton was ready to move up to F1 this year. After deep consideration, McLaren, which has a policy of never hiring rookie drivers, made an exception and put Hamilton in the car this year.


                                With a third place followed by four seconds and now a win, Hamilton has had the best start to a season of any F1 rookie in the history of the sport.


                                As Hamilton celebrated on the podium, his father, Anthony, cheered from the crowd below.


                                "I could see him in the crowd while I was on the podium," Lewis said, "and it looked like he had a tear in his eye. So it's obvious that he was extremely proud. You wouldn't believe the amount of work he's put into my career. He had nothing when he was younger. He lost his mum at a young age, and just to see his family be successful is a real pleasure to him. I dedicate this race to him."


                                Anthony has indeed put a massive effort into Lewis' career, and he is one reason why Lewis is such a well-grounded, friendly, polite and urbane 22-year-old.


                                After the race, Anthony said he was unaware that Lewis had dedicated the win to him.


                                "I hadn't heard that," said Anthony, who didn't listen to the postrace interviews, "so I don't want to comment on that. But I'm glad I didn't hear it because who knows what would have happened. I was trying to hold it back [the tears] as it was."


                                Anthony said the strain of the race, with all the accidents and the four restarts behind the safety car, left him drained.


                                "Today has been hard work," Anthony said. "I had to go through winning that race four times today. I did four Grands Prix today. Forget Lewis! He has just been laughing in his helmet and enjoying the race. That is what he does. Nothing scares him."


                                Anthony said he and Lewis have been realistic throughout his career.


                                "We never made plans to get to where we are; we just made plans to always do the best at what we were doing at that time," he said. "Getting to F1 was just the next step that came along. We never, ever look ahead and say, 'Right, we are going to do this, this, this and this.'



                                Wouldn't it be really painful if you start setting your heart on winning the championship and it doesn't happen? We have plenty of time to win that championship, and if it happens this year, then that is a bonus.
                                Anthony Hamilton



                                "You can't do that. You just get egg on your face if you do. You never know what is going to happen."


                                OK, so the Hamiltons are not looking far ahead, but you couldn't blame Lewis for thinking about winning the World Championship in his rookie season. After all, he is leading the points.


                                "I am not going to stop him!" Anthony said. "But we are not going to think about it. What Lewis is going to think about is bringing the car home. Keep your mind straight, keep your feet on the ground, and just bring the car home every time you take it out.


                                "And if we get a win along the line, that is brilliant, and if we win the championship, that would be great."


                                Anthony added: "But wouldn't it be really painful if you start setting your heart on winning the championship and it doesn't happen? We have plenty of time to win that championship, and if it happens this year, then that is a bonus."


                                Fernando Alonso had a sloppy race in Canada, but he will bounce back. So will Ferrari drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa. So the championship is going to be a tough fight.


                                In Montreal, three-time World Champion Jackie Stewart said that Hamilton is the best young driver he has ever seen break into the F1 ranks. F1 legend Stirling Moss rates Hamilton as one of the top three or four drivers in the past 60 years.


                                Needless to say, we will see Hamilton win again soon.
