Nick Heidfeld got a good 7th position, while Villeneuve was unfortunate as he crashed near the end when he was 8th. It was when he was lapping Ralf Schumacher, and its still not clear whose to blame for the incident. At least Nick collected 2 important points that make us be closer to 4th Honda

Something seems to affect Villeneuve's luck in his home race at Montreal, as he once again had a DNF, due to the incident commented previously.

Till that both cars had run with almost identical pace, showing that the Team has the most equaled driver line-up of the field.

Villeneuve was in front of his team-mate until the 2nd pit-stop, when the german overtook him due to a faster stop.

The pace of the F1.06 was consistent and could have brought even better results if the quali positions had been better
